There's a book by Sharyn McCrumb "The Windsor Knot", the one where Elizabeth and Cameron are planning the wedding so she can go meet the Queen, where they start getting postcards signed "Your Garden Gnome" from all over the globe. According to Wikipedia, it's a pretty popular trick (I guess if you have global friends it's a lot easier to pull off?)
Finally they end up with this huge heavy package at the wedding reception containing...yep, the garden gnome!
We used to do this with people's favourite coffee mugs at work - and being the computer guru my job was to prepare graphics of the mug standing in front of the Tower of London, Golden Gate Bridge etc etc. It was nice to know I was earning that fat salary doing such useful and meaningful tasks......

Western suburbs can be dangerous for gnomes.

I wonder if garden gnomes are like the mice in "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?"
