Christmas gnomes are more popular in Scandinavia than Christmas elves and even regular gnomes, so sometimes people will have gnomes replace elves in Santa’s shop to make it more region specific.
But in folklore gnomes were always proud to do housekeeping. They repaired stuff, swept the floor, fed the animals and kept the home safe. If people didn’t respect them they’d take revenge, or worse, take their services somewhere else.
So I prefer to imagine the elves do all the toy producing, from design to carving to assembling to painting to sewing to packaging, while the gnomes keep the shop up and running, inventing and repairing the machines the elves use, cooking the meals for their breaks, cleaning and looking after the reindeer.

Then he gives one flash
Of his glass-green eyes
And the signal goes "All Clear"
And we're off at last
For the northern part
Of the Northern Hemisphere
