Sugar & spice
Meet Ginger, a new limited-quantity ornament and the third merry member of the gnome sisters.

Gnaughty and Gnice, sugar and spice—that’s what Gnome for Christmas is made of.

“When I found out Gnaughty and Gnice were going to be the stars of the show in the Gnome for Christmas series, I was like, wait, these two fellas need an amazing support system, like I’ve had with my own sisters,” Keepsake Artist Gregor Benedetti says. “The five Spice sisters love partaking in their brothers’ Christmas shenanigans and don’t mind being the center of attention every now and then.”

Gregor says he began the design process by brainstorming different ways that the sisters’ storylines could match the adorable antics of their big brothers.

Ginger’s Favorite Gift

“Ginger being Gnaughty’s little helper, happily holding her Christmas bauble ready to pitch in and help decorate Gnice for the holidays, made perfect sense for the 2024 ornament,” Gregor says. “Another fun design element is that each of the sisters have their own special charm dangle attached to the top of their long, pointed hats. Ginger’s is an acorn.”

After he settled on the idea, Gregor says he pulled out a notepad and pencil and got to sketching. From there, he scanned the drawings into his computer and filled in the festive details, colors and patterns. The result is as cute as can be and, luckily, Gregor says there’s more sweetness where that came from.

“Peppermint is making her debut in 2025. Dare I say she might just be my favorite?”
