    I would have a look in your local charity shops. I picked up a Christmas teddy and rag doll for about a £1 each and they are so sweet

    Be warned though, Christmas elfs are addictive and make your other half question your sanity :rotfl:

    You can make anything be a Christmas elf. Last year I used a Snow White dwarf and jazzed him up to make him appear more Christmas like. Also he was the size of a small child and I put a Christmas outfit on him which probalby helped and sewed some bells on his hat and feet. :D People use stuff from reindeer to a teddy bear with a Christmas bowtie to a ragdoll which is spruced up by yourself. The options are endless and the kids love it now matter what! Welcome! :)

    Have never heard of this before but am hugely excited by our Elf arriving have ordered from America so hopefully he shouldn't take long to arrive. Just need to sort out his 'papers' and think up mischief and things to do, wish I'd know about this when dd was younger, she is 7 now do you think she'll believe still?

  • Hi ladies

    This is my first year of having an elf (I have 3 year old twin boys and a 7 year old girl) and after reading your thread I just had to try. We went away this weekend and went to see santa at Drayton Manor. I managed to get the elf there to give my daughter the letter from santa saying the elf was coming and she was so excited as she read the letter to my boys.
    Then I got my mother in law to set up the elf at home so when we got back he was waiting. She'd made a throne and covered it in glitter and chocolate and the Wii xmas game as a present, it looked fantasic. My husband and her both think I am crazy. The kids love it I am really suprised how much. I am so pleased I've done it hes so far been found reading to the soft toys with my youngest ones dummy in and in the morning he will have set up breakfast (my husband will be home at 5am so hes even getting into it now). :rotfl:
    Thanks for the ideas I would have post a picture but I cant work out how?
    Sirens your 7 year old will love it mine does.
