The common garden gnome is BACK and there's a modern twist... 

<p>Forget tasteful trellises and subtle water features, gnomes are what the world wants and we&rsquo;ve got the figures to prove it. </p><p>Online sales of <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/search/gnomes?cmpid=ahc-_-ghs-_-asdacom-_-hp-_-search-gnomes" target="_blank">gnomes</a> rose 42 percent in the past two weeks. Asda have sold 92,000 already just this year. Delighted with the renewed interest of these retro garden ornaments, we held a vote for customers on which new figures to introduce. So as well as your normal red-capped fisherman, you&rsquo;ll also see nurses, firemen, superheroes and princesses.</p><p>Keep your eyes out for these more modern gnomes that have already started making their appearences in stores around the UK...</p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Has anyone else spotted one of these <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/hellomynameis?src=hash">#hellomynameis</a> Dr Gnorma gnomes in <a href="https://twitter.com/asda">@asda</a> :) <a href="https://twitter.com/UHSFT">@UHSFT</a> <a href="https://t.co/q2o1GmQ1xt">pic.twitter.com/q2o1GmQ1xt</a></p>&mdash; Emma Abdulaal (@emmaabdulaal) <a href="https://twitter.com/emmaabdulaal/status/854595836818411521">April 19, 2017</a></blockquote><br><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p><h2>Kids love them</h2></p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Lola loves our giant gnomes and came into our Eastleigh store to pick up some new ones: <a href="https://t.co/TpyuYAUAIy">https://t.co/TpyuYAUAIy</a> <a href="https://t.co/hzjialuwj9">pic.twitter.com/hzjialuwj9</a></p>&mdash; Asda (@asda) <a href="https://twitter.com/asda/status/848460006156517376">April 2, 2017</a></blockquote><br><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p><h2>Dogs love them</h2></p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Chester &amp; his new pals ���������� <a href="https://twitter.com/Georgeatasda">@Georgeatasda</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/asda">@asda</a> �� <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/pug?src=hash">#pug</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gnomes?src=hash">#gnomes</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/livecolourfully?src=hash">#livecolourfully</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/puglife?src=hash">#puglife</a> �� <a href="https://t.co/rLXnskW6am">pic.twitter.com/rLXnskW6am</a></p>&mdash; pugs &amp; kisses (@mckenna_nicola) <a href="https://twitter.com/mckenna_nicola/status/854416153032183817">April 18, 2017</a></blockquote><br><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p><p><h2>Watch out world, gnomania is taking over!</h2></p><p><em>Get your gnome fix at your <a href="http://storelocator.asda.com/#!/?cmpid=ahc-_-otc-storeloc-_-asdacom-_-hp-_-header-_-store" target="_blank">local Asda store</a> or <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/search/gnomes?cmpid=ahc-_-ghs-_-asdacom-_-hp-_-search-gnomes" target="_blank">online</a>. </em></p>
