What is Elf on the Shelf?

If you’re new to this you may be wondering What IS this Elf on the Shelf?  As the story goes, the elf on the shelf is sent from the North Pole to be Santa’s eyes and ears during the Christmas season.  Every night, the elf flies back to report back to Santa about who’s being naughty, and who’s being nice.  Some parents report that their children will behave well simply because they know the elf is “watching” them.  Read more about the Elf on the Shelf Story and tradition behind it.

Elf on the Shelf Names The Elf on the Shelf tradition is becoming increasingly popular with Mommysavers Members. When you get your elf, you’ll want to give him or her a name. Choose one that’s fun to say and relevant to the season.  Here are some cute elf name ideas to inspire you.

Elf on the Shelf CostumeElf on the Shelf Costume

The Elf on the Shelf isn’t just for Christmas anymore, your child can BE the Elf on the Shelf for Halloween, too!  The Elf on the Shelf Costume includes the hat, hair mittens, shirt and pants.  This photo was shared on Amazon.com by one of the customers who said, “My son is obsessed with Elf on the Shelf and begged me for a costume. He wanted to pretend to be Chippy and I was surprised at how good this looked, he loves it! Fairly well made, and it completely looks like the Elf on the Shelf. It was a huge hit.”

Kindness Elves

You can use your elf to make your own tradition, just as the authors of the Elf on the Shelf book did.  I personally prefer the kindness elf – an elf on the shelf alternative.  Some people find this type of elf “magic” is a bit off-putting (or even creepy).  Kindness Elves are kinder, gentler alternative.  This Kindness Elf Tradition combines both the fun and magic of the Elf on the Shelf with the spirit of the season.  Plus, it gets whole family involved in doing nice things for friends, family and others.

Elf on the Shelf Letters

Instead of posing your elf each night, you can have him write a letter.   These pre-made Elf on the Shelf Letters make it quick and easy for you.  Just download and print.  Plus, they’re free!
