The Elf on the Shelf Christmas Tradition | Elf on the Shelf Boy, Light Tone, Blue Eyes | Christmas Elf, Multicoloured

Everyone knows about this by now but this one is the one to go for. Lovely book comes with it. Just a nice Xmas tradition with my two kids 5 and 3 which as they get older has the potential to get a bit cheekier and funnier. My kids named ours Lucky after we read the book and were obsessed with him. Superb build quality. Nice materials. Just buy it you'll be so glad you did. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Lucky again next year, he's part of Xmas now and who can put a price on those memories?

Bought for my son who is sooooo in love with idea of magical elves. This product did not disappoint. Its really good quality, the story book is a fabulous addition and helps shape the rules (without it being a parent restriction, such as the 'no touching or it'll lose its powers' rule. I honestly think he's more excited about this elf than the 'big fella in red' 😁 Absolute value for your money. Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

This is a lovely item. We got it so as to have a bit of fun on the lead up to Christmas and, to "motivate" the kids to be on best behavior all the time. Well, what can I say. The kids just love it - first thing every morning they run downstairs to see what mischief he has gotten up to. If they are misbehaving, we just remind them that the elf is here and they (generally) revert back to their well-behaved selves. The story that comes with it is a nice read. The hardest thing is thinking what to do each evening with the elf - but, as the kids are small, pretty much anything entertains them.

We won a competition to win a elf on the shelf but it didn’t come until the second week of December so was a little late to use over Christmas which my little girl was a bit upset over. To cheer her up it was her birthday in January so the elf made a birthday appearance with a special gift of slime bears - it cheered her up so much. This is the prefect set it comes in a well presented gift box with a birthday book (great read) and a really cute birthday outfit for the elf (cupcake outfit with a hat) it’s made really well and at a bargain price. My other children have said they would like the elf to come out on everyone’s birthday but the question is - is he going to be a good elf or a naughty elf?

Authentic and the original... unlike the cheaper ones on the market. my only issue is with the fact I assumed the elf would have been wired so as to bend and position him with more ease. its great but I feel overpriced for what you get. that said the box book and elf are indeed excellent quality so its a classic case of you get what you pay for so I suppose the overpriced comment is redundant really so ignore that. . as my daughter isn't allowed to touch it..(due to it losing its magic). It will be safe to put in my own wires and attach velcro for when he comes out of his box next year. this enabling me to position him better.

I purchased this last year for my daughter and her partner. I usually get them a joint pressie to open on Christmas decoration day and thought this might be a bit of a different pressie for them. I also bought some bits and pieces to get them started. I had to return the original elf as I'd ordered a boy but a girl was delivered however, the process was really quick and easy. Thank you Amazon. To be honest, I do think the product itself is overpriced, but have given 4 stars for the fun element.

We love our elf!!! We've looked at this item numerous times before but have previously been put off by the price. This year we decided to take a chance and we are delighted with it! The box it comes in is ideal as a keepsake. It's very high quality, as is the hardback book that comes with it. We decided to read our son (aged 3) the story now so that he really becomes familiar with the concept. It's now become his favourite story which he chooses for bedtime every night! On 1st December our elf will make his first appearance, bringing my son's advent calendar with him. We can already tell that this is going to become a well loved tradition and it was worth every penny!!!

The book is a little unusual in that it really is just to explain the concept of the Elf visiting and reporting to Santa etc. There isn't really a story to be told as such in the book but it is nicely written with rhyming sentences and pictures to keep it entertaining. Our daughter requested the book for several bedtime reads in the run up to Christmas which makes it a hit (considering all of the other choices in the bookcase). The Elf toy is a little disappointing as it feels a little cheap and I was hoping it might have posable limbs that would make it easier to locate in fun and unusual places. Overall a recommended buy, you could of course just buy a toy Elf and explain the concept but I think the book makes this easier (especially if the concept is somewhat new to you).

Meraviglioso. Ogni bimbo dovrebbe averne uno. Lo stupore alla mattina negli occhi dei bimbi quando lo trovano in un posto diverso è impagabile. Divertente la sera per i genitori spostarlo nei posti più strani. L’elfo rende il Natale ancora più magico. Di anno in anno i bimbi aspettano il giorno in cui gli elfi torneranno. Stupendi i racconti che continuano per tutto il giorno sul ritrovamento dopo la notte.

This collection is a wonderful holiday treat, especially to those children who've read the book (included) and/or have seen the video presentation on TV. The little elf (included) is an exact likeness of "Chippy" from that TV presentation and its fun to watch the family decide what name to give your new "elf". You can then go the website & register your new elf's name. While some parents have found that your new elf's present at various high up spots around the room where the Christmas tree is displayed helps with discipline, most have found that moving him around after the little ones are fast asleep is quickly noticed the next morning with the knowledge that the elf has indeed gone back to talk to Santa during the night. It's all fun & definitely will become an annual tradition that the children will cherish even after they grow up. I highly recommend this version to all families with young children not only for the quality of the elf but also for the large story book that's included with easy to read words and pictures. A wonderful collectible holiday treasure your family can enjoy year after year.

I thought this was a great addition to our Elf on the Shelf Tradition. The story instructs the child to send an invitation to their elf so that he can get permission from Santa to spend the child's birthday with them. On the night before the birthday the child sets out the elf's special birthday outfit. Santa blows his magic birthday dust on the elf so he can attend and show up the next morning. Since Elves are so tiny, they can't bring a gift so they do a North Pole tradition. The elf will pick a special chair and decorate it, whether it be using things in the house, making a scene with a giraffe or putting candy in a balloon. Then when the day is done he flies back to Santa (or I'm guessing stays if it's in December). The book and tradition was really cute and my 3 year old son loved it!!! We look forward to our elf Bernard visiting every birthday!

This Elf on the Shelf is a classic Christmas tradition that brings so much excitement and magic to the holiday season. The quality is great, the details are charming, and it’s the perfect way to create fun daily moments and memories for kids. Honestly this little guy gets our family in the Christmas Spirit and my husband is so creative! *Pros: well made, timeless holiday tradition, encourages creativity and imagination. *Cons: The hat keeps falling off so I got some glue and its all good now 💡 Tip: Plan a few easy elf ideas ahead of time to keep the tradition fun and stress-free. I highly recommend this item & I hope this review is helpful 👍🏻

Il libro è piaciuto moltissimo a mio figlio, che adora gli elfi. È la versione da ‘buon compleanno’ dell’elfo rosso di Natale, e all’interno c’è anche un vestitino da festa per l’elfo mensolino! Consigliato!
