Welcome to the Garden Gnome Sale

Traveling Gnome Pranks

These humorous (but illegal) pranks involve taking a gnome from an unsuspecting garden-owner and sending it on a trip around the world. Pictures of the gnome with famous landmarks are then taken.

This is normally done by passing the gnome and its pictures from person to person until a large collection is formed. The gnome is then returned with the pictures to the original owner.

There have also been documented cases where the garden gnome has been returned home with a wife and children gnomes! Below is a small collection of traveling gnome stories and sites:
