GREGOR BENEDETTI
Gnome for Christmas
Lead Creator I Sr. Designer (Hallmark)
From the imagination of Keepsake Artist Gregor Benedetti, this Gnew ornament series features the fun and festive antics of Gnaughty and Gnice, a playful pair of Christmas Gnomes! Each colorful character adds his own unique personality (and often opposing point-of-view) to every activity, which makes for some very interesting adventures. Although the two don’t often see things in exactly the same way, the complementary and caring relationship they share ensures they always stick together - no matter what!
