The Elf on the Shelf Girl Light, Red and White

I added magnets in the hands. Needs wires in the arms and legs to be able to sit anywhere and in multiple positions.

We just started this family tradition this year and my son absolutely loved his scout elf Chucky

It’s hard to give a review for this one. We adopted our elf almost 10 years ago and have great family memories with him (Eustace). Unfortunately our dog ate his face off this year, so I had to quietly find a replacement in order not to break my kids hearts. The book on the other hand is a little creepy. The idea of ‘big brother watching’ is not something that I want my kids to grow up with. Thus 4 stars (5 stars for introducing a new family member to help create more fun memories and 1 star for creepy concept book)

My youngest daughter has wanted an Elf on the Shelf for a while now and I was not going to fall into that trend, but I did. The product was exactly as described.

I did have to perform surgery on the little fella. With all of the fun ideas to spark my kids imagination, I felt that his ragdoll limbs werent getting the job done. I went online & saw other parents doing this, & Im so glad that I did! He doesnt seem to be easy to clean, besides his face. So if you plan to get him messy, maybe get a spare. Besides that, the little box set with the book was well packaged, & hes as cute as can be!

For the price of this, I expected it to be flawless when it arrived. Unfortunately the box was dented on the corner, as if it was dropped before shipping. The book inside the box was also crinkled on one corner, and it was very noticeable. The elf is extremely hard to position and her hands came sewn together. If I had it to do over again, I would have just purchased it locally.

This was the perfect Christmas gift for my daughter and son in law since they just had a new baby in December. They will start that crazy Elf tradition next Christmas.

Love Elf on the Shelf, however how do you deliver a secret Magical Elf without it putting it in a Amazon box!!! Just in Original Packing with an Amazon label slapped on it…. Hard to disguise or make up something when your children receive the package from the doorstep. Kind of a let down. Thanks Amazon.

Every cute item that comes with a book. You can also go online and get a personalized certificate of adoption and letter from Santa. Kids love it so far. Just received it today and told the littles that santa dropped off a gift early for them, that will help him keep an eye on how good they are being. Kids keep saying they see the elf move lol. Should be a fun holiday tradition. Wish it was a little cheaper like $20 but it is still worth it.

So this was my first year doing the elf on the shelf and I this elf seems to be popular, so I bought it. I ALWAYS read reviews and somehow I missed it but this one does NOT have wired arms and legs which really put a damper on things and his hands are stitched together. I ended up finding some floral wire in the basement and snipped his hands apart, tore the stitches out of the tips of the hands and the creases of the elbows and ran the wire up through his arms and sewed them shut again. Still didnt work great, the wire I had on hand was too thin. Oh well, we made due and my 5 yr old loved him.
