As you might have gathered already, my favorite part of Etsy searching is finding something totally different and a little outside the box. Imagine my excitement and surprise when I found this!
First let me explain that the gherkin is a treasured pickle in my family. You see, there is an old tradition on Christmas day. Someone hides a gherkin on the tree and before anyone opens any presents, there is a gherkin hunt! The rules vary from this point. Some reward the winner with a special gherkin gift and some winners simply get to open the first present of the day. You can make up your own rules really...just so long as there's a gherkin on the tree!
Also, say gherkin a few times and try not to crack a smile.
This "Great Gherkin" clay ornament was created by A Little Character on Etsy. Their shop is filled with some fantastic and truly unique items. Ever wanted a zombie magnet? Well now you know where to go!

Oh I love it!
Makes me want to hide one this year :-)
Oh man I lovvve that pickle. Oh wait...I Made that pickle. hahaha. Thanks for attention, always fun to run across someone else who appreciates a pickle in a cape...
pickles are disgusting, but this one is actually kind of cool. i'm left speechless, actually, which is very rare for me.
just... wow.
That is awesome!
wait, does no one else find the name of that game funny?
hide the pickle? does this not sound like a game you teenage boyfriend would have asked you to play (sorry could not resist)
Why do you think we decided it was the best christmas game ever? We're not a very traditional family, until the gherkin that is.... :)
