Are you following all of Frugal Coupon Living’s Elf on the Shelf Ideas?

In addition to Elf being stuck in the phone, this is another one of my most favorite ideas for Elf on the Shelf. Take a picture of Elf in a trapped position. I think it is fun to have Elf giggle and watch the screen, however another fun idea is Elf is missing from the home in the morning and  you find him trapped in the computer.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD

Online you can find ENDLESS Elf on the Shelf Accessories, Books, Games and Toys.
