I give up on my hunt for a cheap and cheerful elf :(

[lucysmam]

Just that....I'll carry on hunting for next year though, I'm enjoying reading what everyone's elves are up to and pinning a whole load of ideas on my Pinterest boards

Card factory has really cute soft ones for 99p he's very cute, and naughty.

I tried in our local one today, they looked at me like

IKEA, we have 3 IKEA elves sat on the sofa right now :)

I can't get to an ikea either & my dad isn't going any time soon .

I did try to diy one from a poundshop doll and some scraps of felt but it looked bloody horrible & I couldn't get the little clothes to look like proper clothes iyswim

whyy not have a elf fairy or reindeer..doesnt have to be an elf.. santa has many little helpers :)

Yes, it can be anything. I'm glad I saw this as I've gone to bed already and I've forgotten to move ours.

I was the same then yesterday I found gorgeous ones in accessorise. They are tree decorations so smaller than I wanted (though at this point I had lost the will to live so anything would have done) they will still be able to "get up to stuff" and as I have a male/female pair we might have our own elf baby next year

glad to help Savoy!

Dp says leave it for this year....if I spy one in the shops I'll pick it up (or maybe I'll enlist his mum to make me some elf clothes for the barbie-ish doll-that's not a bad idea!)

Are you near a TIGER store? They have cute little elves.

Not cheap and cheerful but The Ruby Range make beautiful elves.

No Tiger near I don't think, will double check later on.

Those are nice elves though, I might get myself a money box and save up for one
