Wow, I love this thread! Have just ordered an Elf from amazon - I am not crafty so didn't think I would manage it myself!!

My dd is only 3 but I feel that i will be more excited each morning about finding the elf! When are you planning putting them out? Are you going to wait until 1st December?

ItLookHardToStartNewLife · 04/11/2011 11:49

I just ordered The Elf on The Shelf from Amazon too..can't wait when it arrives, I think am getting more excited than my DDs! lol Grin

I've started a thread for the sharing of ideas for our elves: Elfish Hi Jinks. 50 days to go - get those creative juices flowing!

Glad you liked my link! Piximonsters, I love your ideas - particularly the arrival on a reindeer Grin... off to the elfish hi jinks thread now...

I went to TKMaxx - plenty of elf possibilities there. We now have a Ms Elf, although I was very tempted by a dressed up penguin.

PorkChopSter · 07/11/2011 19:04

I also bought one on ebay whilst pissed

Search for "Alan Dart Christmas" and these beauties come up:

Gnome
Snowman

But this is it for me - next year I want a Knitted Christmas Cyberman

NoHunIntended · 07/11/2011 21:25

My TKMaxx is small, will have to go to the next town. But good to know!

Good finds, PorkChop!

I have one of the actual Elf of the Shelf dolls, that I am looking to sell for £15 plus shipping. I ordered the book set as I needed another book(so all the kids have one), and ended up getting different elves(once again, so the kids all have the same one). As of right now it is still in the box with the book, but I will put it in a different box and send it signed for it anyone wants it. I have it posted on another site I am on, so whoever would like it please let me know. This is the Elf I am talking about:

If this needs to be moved, please someone let me know, just figured since this post was about them I would put it here.

If you can knit, there are some really sweet elf knitting patterns on www.ravelry.com I'm going to make this one: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mistletoe-elf

NotFromConcentrate · 14/11/2011 09:58

Oh my goodness... Someone on another thread recommended EotS to me, and having read this thread I'm stupidly excited about Elf mischief!! Will go Elf shopping today and report back Grin

AngeR79 · 14/11/2011 11:17

Mine is no longer available, but good luck to all looking for some. Have found some Gund Peppermint Elves here. Not the original EotS, but still little cuties!

PorkChopSter · 14/11/2011 13:33

Oohhh

this one
and this
This is one freaky Christmas tourist

housemum · 16/11/2011 12:27

Quick question here - lots of you are talking of an elf each - is anyone else just getting one per household? I am waiting for one EOTS from Prezzybox, but now worried that I should have bought two!

pigleychez · 16/11/2011 12:32

Housemum- when did you order? I ordered from Prezzybox a few nights ago and just had an email cancelling my order because they are out of stock. Angry Let me order and pay for it the other night though.

Had I known i'd have found another elsewhere. Now I cant find any in stock :(

housemum · 16/11/2011 12:36

Must have jinxed it - Prezzybox just emailed me to say they would get no more before Christmas and have refunded me :( But found this shop in Wales that have a few left - not many though, she sold 8 so far today!! So if you want the EOTS one, get in quick :) (after me!)

housemum · 16/11/2011 12:39

I ordered mine a couple of days ago too, but had had it in my basket for a week so just clicked to confirm the order without checking the main page, it may already have been out of stock but I didn't realise.

housemum · 16/11/2011 12:52

They have 2 left in stock now after Pigleychez and me :), I suppose they are flying off the shelves now quite literally...

pigleychez · 16/11/2011 12:55

Housemum- Your an angel! :)

Even better that you pay by paypal which is linked to my DH's account Wink

Looks like MN strikes again with our Buying power!!
