Living with Garden Gnomes is a happy and rewarding aspect of human life that many people enjoy. If you haven't already, adopt a Garden Gnome today to start your relationship with these mystical little men.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Garden Gnome(s)
  • Imagination
  1. Step 1

    Your Garden:
    Obviously the most popular place for people to interact with Gnomes. Putting Gnomes in your garden will not only help with whatever you are cultivating (they have quite the green thumbs), doing so will also ensure protection against any animals who might think of making a meal out of your plants. While any Gnome will helpfully stand guard against intruders to your garden, consider getting one with a sword or axe to stand guard.

  2. Step 2

    Your Kitchen:
    A Tiki Gnome, with his knowledge of Caribbean cuisine and advanced skewering techniques, could open your family up to a whole new world of food. Forgive him if he makes a hamster kebob out of the family pet...it’s in his nature to hunt and gather.

  3. Step 3

    Your Office:
    Understanding the importance of taking steps to protect your office space and desk is necessary in today’s business environment. We like to keep track of where all the Gnomes we've had the pleasure to meet, and that is some sensitive information. It's a good thing we have a couple of Sniper Gnomes keeping an eye on the files. Ever been shot by a Sniper Gnome? Oh, does it sting...

  4. Step 4

    Your Gym:
    Need some encouragement to do that last rep? A Rocket Gnome will constantly remind you where you're aiming for. Always pointing straight up, our little pyrotechnic friend is always seeing the higher ground. If this Gnome can propel himself to your rooftop (a skyscraper to him), then you can push just one more barbell off of your chest. Up, up and away!

Tips & Warnings
  • Please be cautious when placing Gnomes. Recent activity suggests they may be high value theft targets to neighborhood hooligans.
