Thanks Amy...I looked at Berties blog before you answered actually to look for his passport (do I sound like a scary stalker person:o).Looks like you have had fun in the years they've visited.

I have answered your PM-I think I may have pre empted some of your questions though,based on other questions Im asked so I hope I havent given you too much to digest in all at once;)

WOW!!! i have finally finished reading all the posts and my head is buzzing!! I have decided to join in the christmas fun and get an elf this year. Very nervous and hope I get it right lol

Can you give me any ideas of where to get an elf (boy) and where the name generator is please.

Thanks x

Hi folks,
Iv just found the Gund elves in an online shop in uk called Dragon alley. Postage is a bit steep at £5 but iv ordered one as last years elf was met with ' no like him' from my 2 yr old which ended our fun!

hi,

search ebay and amazon, type all sorts - elf, pixie, gnome, etc i have aurora rag doll as 1 of my boys. i read when i 1st started that elves come in all shapes and sizes etc not just small with pointy ears in red/green. some people have a magic reindeer, bear and 1 family on facebook last year had a dog (was a puppy that santa didnt have time to look after near xmas!)

you dont have to use name generator just think of a name yourself. i dont know the exact link but if you google elf name generator there's a few. x

Oh no is it I wondered if u get custom tax or anything added on which is why I looked for a uk seller. I always make the wrong purchase choice, doh! X

You only incur customs charges on items over $40 and the rate of post checked coming from the US is 1 in 60;)

I order quite a lot of my sugarcraft equipment from the states because once you've exchanged currency its much cheaper...and the longest Ive waited was my last rather large purchase (a silicon mat rolled into a tube that measured 30") and it "only" took 3 weeks.

Thankyou SO much for this!! We already have an Elf but wanted him to come with a girlfriend / wife this year. I've managed to get the girl Gund Elf from Dragon Alley (18cm high) for £8.94 delivered!!

Thanks! :beer:
