i have the second elf, hes lovely, i got him last year and could only find him for the same price so i would recommend snapping him (hes well worth it!) xxx

I've decided to stick with this one I got for £2, and stuff him. Will keep an eye on the one I really like and when/if he comes down in price I'll snap him up then, I really can't justify spending that amount of money on a small teddy TBH.

I found another version of "elf on the shelf" but it is called "Christoper Pop-in-kins" - also comes with a story book like the original. I found one for £15 at Amazon - half price compared to "elf on the shelf'. The good thing with this is that it also has flexible arms etc so you can make him hang on curtain rods etc.

Yeah I've had my eye on him also. You can get a girl version also, but she's not as cute IMO.

Here's our elf stuffed and stitched. Cost me £2


He's still no name, and shall have to see about finding something for him to sleep in etc now

I think he is gorgeous! I want one, what card shop was it please?
I have been looking for an Elf bed but may have to make one. I can't seem to find a red Santa sack that isn't huge.
It's all so exciting

Aww, we've been Elfing for 4 years now and I love it, maybe even more than the kids! Mine are 7,4 and 1 and my 7 year old talks about the elves (we have 3) all through the year. I decorated an old shoe box which is suitcase/bed and they also have a face book pag lol!

Last year I put the elves in the shower by my shampoo bottle for the kids to find then on the evening I dyed my hair red, needless to say the kids found it hilarious that the elves dyed my hair!

I'm going to make an advent tree thus year thatll be from the elves :-)

Hi
Is any1 organising an elf xmas card swap this year..?

This will be our second year doing the magic elves. My daughters (7&10) LOVED it last year. We have two elves, one girl and one boy. I have a list of things that the elves are going to get up to, I've tried to do different things from last year. Mine do something every night from the 1st of dec, so I plan early so I know exactly what I'm going to be doing. On Christmas Eve, I did a treasure hunt round the house (which was set by the elves of course) and at the end they got a certificate saying that they had made Santas "nice list", later that night they sat the elves by the fire, ready to be collected by Santa and that was that.
