Just like the BFG, our little gnomes are friendly and they need a good home. They have plenty of good cheer and good luck to offer!
**Each little guy, or gal, has been hand crafted and named. So every one added to a new family is indeed an individual. Please share your LFG with us in our group, “Gnomes Among Us” with a photo. It’s so fun to see the forever home of the little creations.
***This
business was created with the intent to spread more smiles among the community. So please keep it kind and friendly on our page, and in our community group.
****Sometimes there will be sales, giveaways, and treasure hunts around town, so be sure to keep your notifications turned on***
��HOW DO I ADOPT ONE???��
You’ll want to watch for gnome drops in our privet group, Gnomes Among Us:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/littlefriendlygnomes/
You’ll want to set the notifications settings to get alerts when LFG posts. All gnome listings, will have individual photos of new gnomes with the price and name listed. The first person to comment “SOLD” on each photo holds the claim to that LFG. If you change your mind, or do not pay by pick up, it will be offered to the next person in line that commented on the photo. So make sure to comment on your choice, even if it’s already marked.
�WHAT IS A LIVE TREASURE HUNT?�
Once per month we will hide LFGs somewhere in the Treasure Valley area with a photo and clues leading to them. We believe whole heartedly in families having an opportunity to do something fun outside. As such, any hiding locations will be safe for all ages to locate.
****HOW DO I PICK UP LOCALLY?****
The easiest is porch pick up. Once you’ve made your purchase, we can arrange a time and I’ll give you the address in Caldwell.
****WHAT IF I CAN’T PICK UP?****
If you need shipping, we are happy to do that as well, within the US. Shipping is done with USPS or UPS for $10/ package and you’ll get your own tracking number. I can often fit two in a box at once. There may be exceptions for some of the taller gnomes, with stand up hats. If you purchase a gnome now, and wish to buy another within 30 days, I am happy to hold onto the first one and send them together. This will save you even more $$$ on shipping. Shipping outside the US is also possible but is priced on a case basis and usually takes longer than the post office suggests.
���ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL REQUESTS?���
Yes! If you have any requests for a custom LFG, please inquiry. We will do our best to fulfill the vision you have. Options can vary from a theme, color, sports team, career, and so on... Custom creations will be an additional charge, to be determined during the request conversation. Please keep in mind, customs take a great deal of time and creativity so there is a waiting time of 4-10 weeks. Half of the cost is expected up front for us to begin working on it. The remainder is required prior to shipping. And you will get a final photo for approval before shipping.
��GIFTS?��
If you need to have your special little gnome sent to someone as a gift, please let us know. We would love to add a personalized note from you inside and/or wrap it. Our goal is for the new member of the family to make everyone smile and for all parties involved to have an enjoyable experience. We have customers purchase listed gnomes, and order customs, to have sent as “Fairy” gifts regularly.
****HOW DO I PAY?****
The best way is to do FB pay once you have claimed your LFG as this will give you a digital receipt. Once you have decided to adopt a gnome, you’ll be messaged by our personal FB account, under Candice Oven. From there I can send you the link to pay. Cash is also accepted at the time of pick up, but it is at our discretion to accept or decline cash at any time, from anyone. If the pick up day comes, and goes, and we have not heard from you, your LFG will be re-listed for adoption. Please keep in mind, we are a small family business making these gnomes to spread cheer, not a large cooperation. Signing up for multiple payment systems and accepting cards directly would only cause the cost to increase and we would like to keep these little gnomies at a reasonable amount for everyone. Thank you in advance. PayPal made be made available, only at our discretion, and with a 5% increase to cover the app fees. OTHER DETAILS:
-They have some weight to them, approximately 1-3 lbs, for the large ones and are stable once set in their place.
-There are three layers around the base/body of the gnome 1) to hold everything together, 2) is a wrap to help hold their shape so they do not become short and plump over time and 3) is an outer layer that’s more visually pleasing as well as soft and fuzzy to the touch.
-Each one is equipped with moisture prevention for humid climates.
-Size ranges depending on the style, approximately 6-16” tall.
-A lot of our supplies are purchased from small businesses, Etsy shops and/or charitable places.
-Price ranges from $20-55 each gnome. Occasionally there will be special, limited editions, mini gnomes, magnets, displays, ornaments, craft kits and so on. Any of those prices will be as listed at that time.
***Sometimes there will be sales, drawings, Name That Gnome contests, giveaways, treasure hunts around town, as well a hidden ornaments randomly hidden around town. So be sure to keep your notifications turned on for the page Little Frinedly Gnomes and for the private group Gnomes Among Us***
