Asda will be giving away hundreds of pounds worth of vouchers during December through the world’s smallest supermarket delivery vans.
This is part of the supermarket's new ‘Gnome Delivery’ service fleet which are fully functioning replicas of regular supermarket home delivery vans.
In a statement, Asda shared: "Measuring only 70cm long and 30cm high, they’re the perfect size for a gnome and have just enough room in the back for a compact Christmas shop."
They continued: "The fleet of five Gnome Delivery vans will be turning heads and raising smiles as they zip up and down the pavements, supplying free tiny Asda shops to the doors of hundreds of houses in London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester.
"Each tiny shop in the back of the vans will include Asda’s award-winning Exceptional mince pies (as seen in the advert) alongside a selection of other small, delicious festive treats.
"Residents receiving a Gnome Delivery simply need to open the tiny van and take their delightful free delivery inside."
Where will the Gnome Delivery be available?
Asda Gnome Delivery vans will be visiting homes on the following dates:
- London - Monday, December 9

David Hills, chief customer officer at Asda, says: “We’ve been blown away by the love customers have for our gnomes and our pint-sized Gnome Delivery vans are a really fun way for us to keep spreading that joy this Christmas.
"Our Christmas range is all about helping our customers to have their best Christmas ever with our vast array of incredible festive products all at unbeatable Asda prices, and additional touches like these little vans delivering free festive treats are the cherry on top.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
