The Elf on the Shelf Box Set North Pole Blue-Eyed Boy Light Tone Elf with Book AND "An Elf's Story" DVD (2 item BUNDLE)

This is my 4th elf on the shelf. I bought the others at Walmart. This elf came as expected. It's perfect! I love him.

Great quality! He’s adorable.

I have 3 kids( 9, 6, and 5)We received this, read the book then watched the video. Really made for a nice combination. The kids loved the idea of the elf but were skeptical.(9 year old already knows about santa but played along) The video helped tell the story and show what happens to the elves back with Santa. The kids wanted to believe but as they went to bed they said, " well, if he is still in his box tomorrow then we know it's not real." I told them to believe what they want and let it go. Every morning the elf has been somewhere else and they have had a great time finding him. The book and video mention nothing of all the high jinks that i have noticed other parents talk about over the years so I went on pinterest to find what it was talking about. Found ideas and the next morning the kids found the elf in our christmas tree and their underwear all around him on the tree. They laughed and laughed and said, "maybe he did that because we didn't put our laundry away." HA! LOve it! The elf can remind them of their manners and chores and I don't have to(as much).

This was a great buy, I had never heard of Elf On A Shelf until my Mommy Swag Facebook group started talking about it, so I went onto their website and checked it out. My boys love him, we named our elf Timmy after my childhood friend who passed away. Just being around the elf we named Timmy helped me with his passing , I felt he was around for the holidays. My boys love Timmy, every morning when we woke up my boys would look everywhere for him. It was so exciting and fun. I recommend this for everyone, I bought one for my cousin so she could do it with her son. I got the elf and book plus the movie. We watched the DVD so many times lol.

I used this elf to count down until Christmas with my Special Education Students. The Elf on a Shelf website has lessons and activities that can go along with this. In my classroom, students who misbehaved had to write a letter to explain their actions to Santa. If the Elf misbehaved, they wrote to Santa about his behavior. They loved it. Most of my students hate to write, but they loved to write to Santa when the elf misbehaved. Even the student who did not believe in Santa wanted to write. I bought both the girl and boy. The girl I used at home. When the students wrote to Santa that he should send an elf that doesn't misbehave, I traded them. these elves have a permanent place in my Christmas traditions.

Heard about this from friends, was a little skeptical. Had to have remodeling done during holiday time so needed something for holiday effect that took up nearly no room and was easy to relocate but still let the grand kids (who live with me, ages 3,5,7) take part in the Christmas celebration and fun, as we could not put up a tree. We had the Nativity scene out but, of course, that was in a revered spot for special decoration. This was the best! Not only did it help little people stay on the NICE list but it was a great conversation piece with them. They had the best time trying to find him each morning. The movie was watched about a hundred times and they read the book at least 20 times in 2 weeks!. We let him give them each a gift on Christmas morning, along with a note reminding them that he would be back next Christmas, and giving them each a personal word of encouragement. They were thrilled! May send as a gift to my other grandchildren next year to let them in on the fun. Highly recommend this purchase!

First year of doing this with our oldest daughter (2.5 years old). She loved it. She really enjoyed the DVD and book too. I would suggest buying this entire product as it is fun; some of the store bought items are just the elf. My daughter wanted to watch or read the book everyday during Christmas, and was starting to get the "hang" of her new elf, Charlie, towards Christmas' end. Looking forward to more years to come with this. Buy this product and you won't be disappointed.

I was hesitant to buy the Elf on the Shelf after hearing so many parents complain about having to come up with a creative idea night after night. But I thought it was tons of fun. My 3 year old loved seeing where our elf ended up every morning. Some nights we forgot and he didn't notice. It looked natural sitting on the bookshelf and other random spots in the house. The DVD was okay but not fantastic. I thought it was a bit like a commercial. My son watched it and didn't ask to see it again. I'll definitely look forward to bringing out our Elf again next Christmas.
