Egbert is a real sweety.
He has a true love of Nature, and likes nothing more than skipping through the meadow flowers, catching butterflies (he would never hurt any, and some even asked if they could stay with him 'when the time came' so he proudly wears his little friends on his hat, mounted on some wood so they dont get damaged.) he also has a little 'Handmade with Love' button.
He is not at all phased about having a fuschia body and a mottled maroon hat. He feels he is man enough to get away with the look.
He does like to be different, and even the way he chooses to have his beard brushed is different from everyone else in the family, he feels its the windswept look and will catch on!! Yeah, whatever you say Egbert!
All the male gnomes are basically the same size. (Don't tell them!) They all stand approx 9.25"/23.5cm tall and have a waist of 12.25"/31.5cm. BUT no two gnomes are exactly the same. Well they wouldnt be really would they, we are all different!
Their bases contain 500g of rice, so they are quite weighty and therefore I would always suggest that they are lifted by the base.
They enjoy having their beards brushed to look their best at all times. (Well you never know when a good looking lady gnome might come visiting!!)
They can be made to work as door stops (ignore their complaints about 'The Crimes Against Gnomes Act' or, like mine, are just allowed to be ornaments, being preened and living the life of luxury.
