Fifty cute Elf on the Shelf Names. This printable list provides both female and male Elf names. New creative, funny, and original Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily.

Elf on the Shelf Names

Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Are you ready for the Christmas Tradition of Elf? We are back, so is the Elf on the Shelf! If you have been with us a long time, you know we have brought you a new Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily (in the months of November and December) for the past six years. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial. For this particular idea, you will only need Elf on the Shelf and our Printable Elf on the Shelf Names List (see below).

How to Name The Elf on the Shelf

If you are new to Elf on the Shelf, the first thing you need to do is Name your Elf on the Shelf. We gave free reign to our oldest daughter (we have five kids now) we when first introduced Elf on the Shelf and we got stuck with the name she chose – Dorothy. She chose this name because she was Dorothy one year at Halloween. Let me be clear about feeling stuck. This meant, for the rest of our family history, we had a female elf. Not the biggest deal. I do have a good gap, however, between my girls and boys and I wish that we had a name they would be just as excited about when they were going through the Elf on the Shelf stage. I wish we went with a name that could be used any direction – male or female. SO just consider your gender and if it could or how it could change your Elf on the Shelf ideas throughout the years.

Santa’s Magic will Help

There are ideas on How to Name The Elf on the Shelf. I would print out our Elf on the Shelf Names list and begin to go through that list. For an elf, receiving a name is an exciting moment because this allows them to receive their Christmas magic so they can fly to and from the North Pole each night! It’s up to the entire family to pick a name for your North Pole helper.

One idea is to put all names into a hat. You can draw out a name and let Santa’s magic take it’s course. Another idea is for each family member to choose a name and then only put those names in the hat. Again, let luck take it’s course.

Name Your Elf After a Family Favorite

If you have a family moto or activity you all enjoy together, let that direct your naming ceremony. For example, if your family moto is love, Love might be a great name for your elf. Perhaps your family is obsessed with a football player like Eli Manning, Eli could be Elf’s first name. Is there a song that brings your family holiday cheer? Jingle Bells is a cute name for your North Pole helper.

Elf on the Shelf Names

Merry, Snowflake, Frosty, Buddy—what will Elf get as his/her unique name?

Our Elf suggestion names include:

Archie, Bella, Berry, Buddy, Buster, Buttercup, Chip, Cindy Lou, Cinnamon, Dash, Elfie, Elvis, Eve, Faith, Flake, Frosty, Gabriel, Gloria, Gumdrop, Henry, Hope, Ice, Jack, Jingle, Joy, Kris, Lulu, Max, Merry, Mistletoe, Mittens, Muffin, Nick, Noel, North, Peppermint, Pixie, Poppy, Ralphie, Scout, Shimmer, Snickers, Snow, Snowflake, Sparkles, Star, Sugar, Tinsel, Twinkle, and Waffles.

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.

DIY Popcorn Gift Basket with Labels and Gift Tag

November 8, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Recipe, Social Media 1 Comment

DIY Popcorn Gift Basket with Printable Popcorn Labels & a Christmas Gift Tag. These make popcorn seasoning mixes and handmade mason jar gift ideas for neighbors, teachers, friends, family and more.

DIY Popcorn Gift Basket

Remember the gift ideas from just a few years back. Candles. Mugs. I was a teacher during this season and ended up with many of both. Oh hand lotion too! I loved all the gifts I was given from my students, I have not gotten rid of any of them BUT with the evolution of Pinterest, gift ideas have stepped up. It doesn’t mean more money has to be spent. In fact, Pinterest allows us to save in a lot of ways. For example, free printables (you know we love those on Frugal Coupon Living!)

We love this DIY Popcorn Gift Basket for stepping up your Christmas gift giving. Pairing pantry supplies like popcorn kernels, canola oils, spices, seasonings and more, it’s a creative idea that can be used for friends, family, teachers, coaches and even neighbors.

Neighbor Gift Ideas for Christmas

Looking for Christmas Gift Ideas for your Neighbors? We have plenty of gift ideas for your closest friends (by proximity!) These creative gift ideas require a gift tag and then you are done. Easy-peasy. You’re welcome.

This popcorn gift basket idea, will be a perfect idea for your neighbors. Maybe they will even invite you over for one of their movie or game nights.

DIY Popcorn Gift Basket Supplies

This basket can be as frugal-friendly as you like or you can add more fixings to “jazz” up your basket.

A few popcorn gift basket supplies include:

Gift basket
Basket filler (we used red crinkle paper filler)
Small, medium, and/or large mason jars.
Seasoning shakers (you can get seasoning shaker tops for mason jars)
Popcorn kernels
Canola oil
Popcorn seasonings
Printable gift tag and popcorn labels (see below)
Hot glue gun and glue (or sticker paper)
Ribbon or twine (we used red and white bakers twine)

Extra budget? Some people do not have kernel popcorn makers. If that is the case, anyone can pop popcorn in a brown lunch bag. Add a brown bag to your basket with directions. We really suggest this Popco Silicone Microwave Popcorn Maker. it turns into a collapsible bowl and is BPA free and dishwasher safe. It also comes in 10 colors!

Additionally, consider adding a gift card. A movie theater gift card is always appreciated.

Popcorn Basket Directions

Supplying you with the basic directions.

First, fill basket with filler. (We used red crinkle paper filler.)

Pour popcorn kernels in medium mason jar and canola oil in the small mason jar. Place both inside basket.

Add popcorn seasonings to seasoning shakers.

Print printable gift tag and jar labels on card stock or sticker paper. Cut out jar labels that match the popcorn seasoning flavors in each shaker and attach with hot glue. Place seasoning shakers in basket.

Add any other popcorn accessories to your basket – brown bags, popcorn makers, bowls, etc.

Lastly, cut out gift tag around outer edge and punch a hole in the corner. Attach the gift tag to the basket with a piece of ribbon or baker’s twine. (We used red and white bakers twine.)

Popcorn Seasoning Mixes

We have a few ideas for popcorn seasoning mixes and how to make them. However, we used Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasoning Variety Pack for our gift basket (I am all about making easy Christmas gift ideas!) Just pour the inside of the package into a cute mason jar shaker!

Ranch: one packet ranch seasoning mix.

Sour Cream & Onion: 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 3 teaspoons dried dill, 5 tablespoons onion powder, 3 teaspoon garlic powder, – 1/2 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Dill Pickle: 3 tablespoons coriander seed, 3 tablespoons kosher salt, 5 teaspoons dill weed, 1-1/2 teaspoon mustard seed, 1-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1-1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1-1/2 teaspoon celery seed.

Garlic Parmesan: 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 5 tablespoons onion powder, 3 teaspoon garlic powder, – 1/2 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Multiply all recipes as needed.

Free Printable Popcorn Labels and Gift Tag

In addition to this creative DIY Christmas Gift Idea, we have a free printable – I mean, of course we would! Print your free printable Popcorn Labels and Christmas Gift Tag.

Teacher Gift? Have a POP-ular teacher. Go here to print our popular teacher gift tags!

Our 16 Popcorn Labels include:

Butter ∙ Movie Theater Butter ∙ Kettle Corn ∙ Bacon Cheddar ∙ Buffalo Wing ∙ Ranch ∙ White Cheddar ∙ Caramel Corn ∙ Cheesy Jalapeno ∙ Cheesy Caramel Corn ∙ Sour Cream & Onion ∙ Dill Pickle ∙ Garlic Parmesan ∙ Chocolate Caramel ∙ Nacho Cheddar ∙ Popcorn Salt.

Get creative with this Elf Portrait Printable. Fill them in photo gallery wall picture frames or cover the refrigerator. New creative, funny, and original Elf on the Shelf Ideas daily.

I took a photo of my Elf and added a beautiful winterscape backdrop to create a Elf Portrait Printable for you all! Of course, this portrait must be his new school photo he wanted us to see!

Elf on the Shelf Ideas

As a reminder, we are bringing on the latest Elf on the Shelf Ideas. We have new ideas every day in the month of November and December, just for you! Don’t forget, for six years we have brought you new elf ideas. You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of ideas including every idea we have ever done.

For many of these Elf on the Shelf ideas, make sure you have an elf that can bend. You can do that easily with our Bendable Elf on the Shelf tutorial. This particular idea, doesn’t need a bendable Elf, but having a kit is important for future ideas.

Elf Portrait Printable

For this Elf on the Shelf Idea, we printed off self portraits of Elf on the Shelf and plastered them all over our refrigerator. It was quite comical to look at in the kitchen all day. It was a reminder that our Elf is always watching.

Step up this Elf on the Shelf Idea by replacing family photos with Elf. This idea is perfect for a family photo gallery wall. If you have family photos, replace your photos with our Elf Portrait Printable.

I would suggest you carefully place your Elf in a watchful position. Clearly, putting Elf on the refrigerator handle (as we did for this photo) can cause some hungry tummies all day. If your placement wasn’t perfect and your Elf does happen to fall, don’t forget our Elf on the Shelf Magic Grippers (so no magic is lost) when you move Elf to his proper place for the day.

Elf on the Shelf Portrait Supplies

As always, we bring you unique ideas with very little Elf on the Shelf supplies. Use your Elf and portrait printable we will provide. If you decide to put your Elf in a Photo Gallery Wall, you will also need picture frames.

The Elf on the Shelf

Elf on the Shelf Letter to Older Kids

Are your older kids involved in Elf on the Shelf. As the kids got older and still wanted visits from Elf, ideas became complicated. For one, sometimes I was in bed before the kids. That meant, either Elf did not move, or he/she moved when they were at school.

This letter fully explains why Elf might move at different times of the day.

Maybe you knew it, or maybe not,
But I have been back awhile and watching you a lot.
Now that you’re older and staying up late,
Some of my trips to Santa, may have to wait.
I may travel at night, when you’re snuggled in tight.
I may travel when you’re in school, and out of my sight.
So please be patient when you’re looking for me,
Here or there we will have lots of Elf fun, you will see!

‘Tis the season for giving. These Free Printable Gift Tags for Christmas will step-up your present game. Adorable personalized gift tags, gift tags for kids and adults!

Free Printable Gift Tags for Christmas

Truthfully, this round-up was a little bit difficult. Maybe people are not using gift tags anymore on presents (are you?) Whether people are using labels or not, the internet didn’t have as many “Pinterest Worthy” gift tags as I would have assumed.

I have to admit, I don’t use gift tags often. In fact, the way I label the kids presents from Santa is with photo stickers I pick up from Shutterfly. I just add a photo of them this year, choose a different color frame for each child, and then write their name on the label. This is how they identify which gift is for them on Christmas morning.

These Shutterfly photo stickers come in a back of 24, which is always enough to get me through Santa’s gifts. They are $6.99 but often go on sale for much less.

Witness this Christmas with the Legend of Candy Cane Poem. This free printable gift tag reminds your receiver of Jesus, the Shepherd, and His blood shed for our sins. It’s a cute gift for church, Sunday School, Awana and more!

Candy Cane Poem Printable

Does your family have any Christmas Traditions? We have two traditions we have been pretty consistent about. First, we have done Elf on the Shelf from the time the kids were very young. This of course if very fun and a good way to enforce good behavior over the excitement of the Christmas season. We also try to reign it home with the reason for the season – Jesus. This can be done via Advent Calendars or Birthday Cakes for Jesus (coming soon!) We also love to share the message of these season with our Candy Cane Poem Printable.

Candy Cane Poem Gift

When you are apart of a bible study or Sunday school group, gifting to the entire group can feel rather daunting. Your group is likely quite important to you and you want to show a little thought but spending money on everyone isn’t very friendly on the wallet. For those of us who have the love language of giving gifts, this frugal friendly Candy Cane Poem is for you!

Look at the candy cane, what do you see?
Stripes that are red, like the blood shed for me.
White is for my Savior, who’s sinless and pure!
J is for Jesus, my Lord,
That’s for sure!
Turn it around and a staff you will see;
Jesus, my shepherd, was born for me!

The poem is a cute way to witness over the Christmas season. It’s also a gift that can be re-gifted to witness to unbelievers too! Simply print your PDF (see below) and cut the Gift Tags out. Cut a hole and tie to a candy cane with a Christmas Ribbon.

Also check this out! I also gave this adorable punny paper towel gift tag to my group of bible study ladies last year.

Staples Online Printing – How to print documents including how to upload printables to Staples Printing Services: have them shipped to your home or pick them up in the store. Directions to print B&W or color documents, in portrait or landscape orientation, print on card stock and coverstock for durability.

Staples Online Printing

Staples printing services is my first choice for all my printable needs on Frugal Coupon Living. There are many reasons, but these are my top three.

First, Staples Online Printing offers amazing quality. The printables I give you on Frugal Coupon Living often need to be printed on coverstock with bright colors (after all, we aren’t dull.) I find that the quality of prints is great and very vibrant.

Second, Staples printing department is great. The employees are friendly. They actually love when I use their services and look forward to the different documents I am going to submit for printing (different from the typical business projects they receive!) They now know me by name and by brand.

Third, I save. After all, this is Frugal Coupon Living. I save money on both printer ink and card stock and I do not feel like am during my print cartridges with high res images. I leave the supplies (the ink and paper) to the Staple pros to supply. It keeps me sane and not always be in a place of needing to order new printer ink! (It was all the time before I was using Staples print services.)

How to Print Documents from Staples

We offer you many printables on Frugal Coupon Living. There are few places to find these prints.

It will take you less than five minutes to upload your first document to Staples.

Staples Printing Cost

Printing to Staples is extremely affordable. I print often and have a lot of content I want to have amazing color quality. I find Staples Printing Costs to be far lower than the card stock and printer ink it costs me to keep up with my demand at home.

A break down of pricing…

While you can get as low as $0.13 for a color copy, I am never printing more than 50 pages. I typically spend $0.53 for a color copy. Typically, I am purchasing no more than 10 at a time. I also choose a 67 lb card/cover stock media, so this adds around $0.10 per print. Typically my order cost is around $0.60 to $5.00.

Get free shipping to your local store for pick-up. This is typically what I choose unless I have an extra large order and just want to be lazy and not visit the store. Shipping starts at $9.99.

Staples Printing Coupon

There are a few ways to get Staples Printing Coupons.

First, be a loyal costumer. You can sign up for Staples Rewards here.

Staples Rewards

Benefits of Staples Rewards include $25 off Print & Marketing Services in store each year! Additional reward benefits include free next-day delivery on orders over $49.99. My favorite perk is earning $2 back in rewards per recycled ink cartridge (up to 20 per month.) That means you could earn up to $40 a month in recycled ink cartridges – Sign me up!

Second, pay attention to your receipts. Often during in-store pick-up for a document, I am given a coupon for my next Staples printing need. I just stack those receipt coupons in my car for next time.

Third, look online. You can look for Staples coupon codes and promo discounts on Savings.com.

I look forward to hearing about your experience with online printing services and if you too have adopted Staples Printing Services as your number one place to print your documents!

Printable Scavenger Hunts for Kids

Some of my most favorite memories are via scavenger hunts. First, it got me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to meet other people. Second, I love a good challenge and a good gift so I will work hard to be a winner. They are great ice breakers for large groups or fun ways to shower someone with love when creating an individual hunt.

What is a Scavenger Hunt?

Scavenger Hunt is an engaging game played by children (and adults alike). Organize the game in advance by creating a list of objects to find and clues to help the players locate the items. To play the game, divide the players into at least 2 teams, and give them the first clue.

What are the Scavenger Hunt Rules?

Scavenger hunts can be played individually or in groups (who finishes firsts). There are two types of hunts. Hunts can be consecutive where a team (individual) is given the first clue which leads to the second, third, and fourth… or hunts can be done using a checklist where the full list of “must dos” are provided at the beginning.

Individual Scavenger Hunts

Individual scavenger hunts are a great way to busy a child or give them individual gifts. At each stopping point, before the next clue is given, gift your child a piece of their larger present. You can do this on birthday or even collecting their Back to School Supplies. Who said back to school supplies are boring? To begin, supply the player with the first clue. The first clue will lead them to the second. The second will lead them to the third clue and so on until the scavenger hunt is over. You also can have a scavenger hunt checklist where the entire list must be completed before a prize is given.

Group Scavenger Hunts

Group scavenger hunts are perfect sleepovers, lock-ins, class parties, and more. Even adults can find their inner youth and can have fun challenging each other in outdoor venues likes parks and concerts, or perhaps at the mall or in a cityHUNT challenge around town.

Either supply your groups with clue #1 or provide them a list of things to get on a piece of paper. This list is their checklist and must be completed in order to declare a winner. A checklist Scavenger Hunt is typically easier for large groups.
