The lovable creatures have reached cult status, with major supermarkets and discounters all bringing out Gonk ranges this year.

Now, The Works gift wrap is the latest craze amongst Gonk-obsessed Christmas shoppers.

The paper is sold out online, and The Works doesn’t say whether it will be restocked.

Don’t panic though, shoppers are reporting you can still get your hands on the festive paper in physical The Works stores.

One eagle-eyed shopper in the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK managed to get her hands on some rolls just yesterday.

Another fan said the store also has Christmas cards and gift tags that match the paper.

Lots of commentators were excited about the discovery, saying they’d have to head to the Works to get their hands on a few rolls.

Some had even spotted and bought the paper already, saying it was perfect for Christmas.

One said: “It’s lovely. I have used it to wrap Amazon boxes as Eve boxes.”

Another added: “Looks good when it’s used too.”

And Paula said: “I may have to unwrap my presents and get this to wrap them back up.”

However, some customers complained that the gift wrap is flimsy and tears easily.

Tracey said: “It’s rubbish and thin rips really easy. I brought it, won’t be again.”

And Zah agreed: “I bought that it’s flimsy as anything, well the children will have layers to unwrap.”

Several people pointed out that Aldi also sells Gonk wrapping paper, including recyclable versions.

We found rolls online at Aldi for 99p, but they’re four metres rather than five so you get slightly less wrapping for your buck.

Supermarkets and discounters have all jumped on the Gonk craze this year, bringing out all sorts of unexpected products based on the beardy-creatures.

You can buy anything from Christmas ornaments and candles to rubber ducks and flavoured syrups.

They’ve got a celebrity following, too, which has only increased their appeal. For example, the iconic gnomes are favourites of Stacey Solomon and Mrs Hinch.

Even Princess Charlotte and Prince George are fans and like to play hide and seek with them.

Loads of mums are also sharing hacks on how to home-make gonk decorations.

Some women are making their own gonks out of socks – and it costs next to nothing.

Another woman has revealed how to make your own light-up Gonks using bargains from Poundland.
