Recommended elf

If you’re starting your Christmas elf tradition, I genuinely recommend choosing the original and official Elf on the Shelf set. It comes in a lovely keepsake box with a beautiful storybook by Carol V. Aebersold and Chanda A. Bell that really helps children understand the magic behind their elf. The quality is superior – the fabric, stitching and presentation are a million times better than any of the cheaper copies I’ve seen. It’s something you’ll bring out year after year, and it feels special right from the moment you open the box.
