Last year we adopted a new tradition in our house for advent: Elf for Christmas.
Elf for Christmas is an enchanting toy and reward kit perfect for girls and boys aged two and over. Available as a girl or boy Elf, this charming toy brings fun and magic to your home throughout December with the added bonus of promoting good behaviour and family engagement.
Where the magic really happens is in the Christmas Reward Kit – a unique package to help you bring the excitement of the Elf to life. The kit, designed for families with up to two siblings, includes an arrival letter from Santa explaining Elf’s role in your home, a reward chart and stickers, mini report cards and certificates, which can all be used to promote kindness and good behaviour. We have purchased a refill kit for this year so it can be used again.
My problem with the Elf idea, is finding something new for him / her to do everyday and there were days last year where we forgot to move it.
This year Elf for Christmas have solved the problem with their Advent Letters.
The box contains a new letter from your Elf’s penpal, Pip McJingles, who is working in Santa’s workshop as they get ready for their busiest time of year, for every day of Advent giving you the perfect countdown to Christmas.
The letters arrive in charming little numbered envelopes which you can leave with the elf, or hide in the house for the kids to find.
The enchanting notes let children in on the secret fun, magic and mayhem that goes on at Santa’s workshop throughout December, as told by their very own North Pole pen pal.
There are 24 numbered envelopes in the box that have been designed to be read in the correct order, to build a daily story of the North Pole. It is great for encouraging young readers and you could even write your own letters back to Pip McJingle and Father Christmas
Advent letters are a truly magical Christmas activity for the whole family to enjoy. The letters come in a presentation box and for the price of £12.95 they won’t break the bank either.
This is such a good idea! New and exciting! X
I bought these after seeing them on This Morning….lol They look so cute.
I can’t wait to see what my girl thinks of them. It’s something new and different x
Oh how cute are These elf calander!Really gets you feeling that festive spirit x
That calendar is a good idea. I don’t have kids and am away from everyone (plus my family don’t speak English) but I have to say it’s a nice pick.

I havent heard of this before but it looks like a very good idea. Its definitely something different
This is such an adorable gift I love this idea and if it’s designed for two kids a great bonding game too x
This is a lovely idea to keep the spirit of Christmas alive. I can see that the letters are quite lengthy, which is a great thing and by telling a story they raise the excitement and anticipation of the children.
This is a really good idea, especially if you don’t have the time to worry about what your elf is going to do every day x
Oh I love this idea! I find it so hard after 8 years of doing elf on the shelf to come up with new ideas each year!! The kids don’t forget either!
This looks like really good value for so much entertainment for the kids and a very unique way to celebrate with an elf.
I wonder if the cheetah would like one of these elves…..with marshmallows and sprinkles on top?
Oh this is a lovely idea and one sure to keep the kids excited for Christmas!
What a lovely idea and one to keep all the little ones on track on the run up to Christmas. Great price point too and I love how you can get
Refill packs to use it again
Such a lovely idea, and so very exciting for children. May consider getting for my little boy.
This is such a cute idea! My friend does elf on the shelf with her kids, and sets them up in such funny positions every day x
They look very cute and we saw them at the Toy Fair. We can’t wait to see how your little ones bond with them. Would make a great gift x
Lovely idea, what a great way to keep everyone excited! The letters are really well done too 🙂
Aw, what a great idea – and such a magical way to build up to Christmas for the kids! The toys are really cute too! <3 xx
Wow why have I not seen this before would of loved to get it for my son!
What a great idea! And the price point is really good too, will have to look out for these for the kids! X
My boys have really enjoyed Pip’s letters this year and can’t wait for him to write to them again next year. Wish there was others we could buy to help for subsequent years 🙁
