It says for indoor or outdoor use. I assume that your garden is in one of those two places.
Wonder if this would scare off the groundhogs?

In case anyone cares, Travelocity got the idea for the Roaming Gnome from the French movie “Amélie”

You know, as much as I love that movie… I just don’t think I could ever watch it again if I had this in my home/front yard. The movie would give my kid ideas to mess with my head!
For those who haven’t seen it, it’s on Amazon Prime. Great movie. Go watch it. We’ll wait.

For those of you who can’t see/watch the video, some of the phrases he says: “It’s amazing where you can go, without ever moving!” • “Hey you! No, you’re not crazy, I’m talking to you!” • “I see London, I see France. Oh dear, I see someone’s underpants.” • "You know what they say, ‘There’s no place like Gnome!’” • “I feel there I say, rather sexy!” • “Adaladala di di di, Adaladala do do doo” • “You’re the reason God invented Hawaiian shirts.”
I absolutely love this thing.
I once dressed as this gnome for Halloween.
This would be great for my mom, she HATES and is creeped out by gnomes (and midgets…which is odd since she’s only 4’11")
Apparently you can find anything on the internet except the other 14 phrases this gnome says. Anybody know what they are??? Tanks!
I can see this thing being stolen from peoples gardens often.
People actually pay money for this?
Just did. ![]()

Curious, does this gnome come with leftover birthday cake? Was it licked by any staff?

Being licked by staff would probably raise the price quite a bit. There’s probably a sliding scale depending on who did it. (I originally started this comment with the phrase “staff licking,” took a look at it and thought, uh… no.)
I know Zoey licked it a few times. She’s a chihuahua.
I wouldn’t buy anything promoting Travelocity. Had a huge issue with them and their customer service while in Mexico.

Hmm there is a Mexican version of this gnome, if you wanna give Travelocity some payback…
First thought in my head was “So $20 to spook the dog, hahahaha, yeah that would be funny” Then I listened to the phrases about 6 times each and had a terrible headache and realized it was going to be another $20 piece of junk in my yard. So my final thought was “Move along, nothing to buy here”
As much as it hurts to say it, I won’t be buying this item because we already have a garden gnome of similar size. If not, well, awesome.
This is cool, but it is basically saying “Please steal me.”
Anyone who puts this on their front property won’t have it for long.
ugh decisions!! Can’t decide if I want 2 or 3 of these. I already have 11 gnomes in my garden, none are as cool as this one…
I hope I am not any of your neighbors…I don’t want to be staring at this thing everyday on my way to work. haha.
