Adopting an Elf for Christmas brings the magic of the North Pole right into your home!
Each Elf arrives full of festive spirit, ready to spread joy, mischief, and holiday cheer. Whether they’re crafting toys, making sweet treats, or pulling playful pranks, your adopted Elf will quickly become a beloved part of your family’s holiday traditions. With their own unique personalities and stories, these elves bring laughter, creativity, and warmth to every day of the season.
Make this Christmas even more memorable by welcoming your very own Elf into the family and create lasting memories filled with wonder and fun!
Each of our Elf’s comes ready for the holidays with their adoption papers, signed by Mrs. Clause, their North Pole Exit Visa, a profile of their job at the North Pole and some personal background so you and your kids can get to know your Elf.

We’ve bought an Elf kit from you the past 2 years and this year is no different. We are always so impressed with the thought that goes into these kits and the effort involved. Thanks so much for taking the chore out of thinking up what our elf needs to…

We create a limited number of kits each year – 150 kits for 2024. Last year we sold out quickly, and then some, so we encourage you to purchase early to ensure you don’t miss out.
Kit’s purchased now will be dispatched in November as described on the product pages.
Shipping is calculated during checkout, and dependent on your shipping address.
All packages are tracked, and a shipping confirmation will be sent to your email address and notifications to your TXT Machine providing you’ve supplied your mobile phone number.
While you can mix and match activities as you like, we’ve organized these 24 days of Elfin’ fun to fit perfectly with your children’s schedule.
We’ve made sure that the most interactive and engaging moments happen on weekends and non-school days, so the magic lasts a little longer and the memories shine a little brighter.
The simple answer is no. We generate 24 new ideas and activities for your Elf and your kids each year. If you’ve ordered from us in previous years, you will never see the same Elf activity or child activity twice.
If this is your first time ordering from us, you will receive the latest pack and we’ll then keep track of which Elf activities you’ve purchased going forward so that you never receive a double up.
Absolutely not! It’s very important for us to maintain the aura of excitement for the children. Your package will be delivered in a plain white, or brown box with no markings on the outside other than the delivery slip, after all, it’s what’s on the inside that counts right?
Not a problem at all!
12 day packs have also been very popular when time is short . It’s also a great start, or end of the Elf Season if you have taken on the adventure of making some of your own activities and need to fill in some of the days. We will also include some blank cards so that you can maintain the theme of the pack and write your own notes.
We start sourcing the Elf and Children’s activities for the next season as soon as Christmas is over. We try to put together the most cost effective, Elf and Child intensive pack that we can while maintaining and providing very high quality and very low price – one of the lowest on the market that we’ve noticed.
Once we have all of the items sourced, or made, we can then price the packs. This 2023 kit was slightly more than the 2022 kit as there is larger activities for the kids. For example, puzzles, jumbo sidewalk chalk, colouring in – with a pack of 24 coloured pencils, and lots more.
Definitely not. Elfin’ Around packs are fully customized to your Elf and Child. Whether you have 1 child + 1 Elf or Multiple children + Multiple Elf’s or any variation in between, our packs cater to your dynamic bunch of mischief makers.
For example, in the 2023 kit, all letters are customized with your Children’s names, Elf name or names of all your children and Elfs, including the stationary design. The Word search was made specifically for your children and Elf so that your kids enjoy the excitement of finding their name come up in the activities. The letter to Santa is received and replied to with a unique letter to your children (not a form letter) addressing anything and everything the children ask Santa.
The Gentle Living Elfin’ Around packs are really an experience for the kids and Elf’s and create a whole experience for your family.
Every now and then, it’s bound to happen, or if it hasn’t happened…it will — and when it does, it can cause quite a bit of distress for the little ones. To help you be prepared, we’ve created EEK! The Elf Emergency Kit. Coming to our shop soon, this kit is designed with everything you need to fix any Elf mishap and restore the Elf Magic, bringing back those precious smiles to your children’s faces.
