Easter gnomes are the latest decorating craze

When it comes to Easter decorations, the colour yellow, painted eggs, chicken and rabbit spring to mind.

But the latest seasonal decoration trend is turning all that on its head.

In December, Christmas gnomes became a 'thing' and it looks like the trend will carry on into Easter decorations, too.

The good news is that you don't need to put them in the garden, as they can be used to decorate the inside of your home.

These pretty pink and grey ones (pictured above) are from Etsy and will set you back £36.51 - for both of them.

The product description reads: "These love birds cannot stand to be separated, so they are sold in pairs!

"This is an urban/ soft toned style gnome, very modern with his neutral colours of grey and pink. These gnomes blend well with colours that are popular.

"These are small sitting gnomes and measure 14 inches tall from the tip of his hat to his toes when he is in a standing position. However, he is not rigid and will only sit. In the sitting position he is approximately 10 inches tall - just the perfect size for a bookshelf or nook."

Etsy has a wide range of spring gnomes to choose from, including a bumblebee one , and ones that have pink and white rabbit ears .

Garden gnomes gained popularity after WWII, and in the 60s and 70s plastic ones became available, as an alternative to ceramic ornaments.
