The Elf On The Shelf Gets An Upgrade

The Elf on the Shelf has been a Christmas tradition for over a decade. As you probably already know, each magical Scout Elf helps Santa manage naughty and nice lists by watching over families during the day and reporting back to the North Pole each night. Kids of all ages love The Elf on the Shelf and its accompanying storybook — but there's so much more fun to be had with Santa's little helpers!

First of all, there are outfits like this snazzy sweater set, which has attachable decals so your Scout Elf can sport five different looks. Dressing your Scout Elf is half the fun!

Or if you fancy your Elf a fashionista, you can dress her up in a stylish tartan skirt and furry boots from Santa's exclusive Claus Couture collection.

And if your Scout Elf likes switching things up, there's a 3-pack of outfits that includes party skirts, snow tubing gear and a slumber party set.

You can dress the Elf on the Shelf up in a raincoat and matching boots, a puffy North Pole parka, a peppermint princess gown or a dapper tuxedo. And if you think the clothes are fun, just wait until you meet Elf Pets!

Sent straight from Santa, the Elf on the Shelf Elf Pets are special North Pole animals you can adopt and love. Each one comes with a special storybook and an official adoption certificate.

There's a huggable Saint Bernard dog and a cuddly reindeer, too. You can get festive pajamas for your Elf Pets; the dog and deer version are sold separately.

There's even The Elf on the Shelf Elf Pets Christmas set, which includes the "Santa's St. Bernards Save Christmas" movie on DVD and a tote, scarf, feed bag, bowl, pet brush and plaid pillow for your animal plush.

You can also get "An Elf's Story" on DVD. This beautifully animated movie tells the real story of The Elf on the Shelf and even includes a code to access Santa's secret website.

Speaking of Santa, there's an Elf on the Shelf kit that lets your kids get their letters to the big guy sent straight to the North Pole. Using Mrs. Claus' Magic Press and Santa's Special Paper, letters are shrunk to elf-size so they can easily be carried. After Santa's read the letter, your Scout Elf will hang it on the tree as a keepsake ornament.

As you can see, The Elf on the Shelf offers many ways to make magical memories with your loved ones. Don't just take our word for it, though: Browse through over 2,000 The Elf on the Shelf products for more ideas to make the season bright.
