Elfing Around Makes Counting down to Christmas Fun

Elfing Around: A New Fun Tradition Review & Giveaway (11/26)

This giveaway is now closed winner will be announced soon Edited on 11/26 at 9:07 pm central time

I was contacted by Lisa from Elfing Around and asked if I would like to review and giveaway their product. Â As I went to the site before responding to see if this was an opportunity I would be interested in, I knew right off this was going to be something perfect and fun for my family. Â Elfing Around is simply to make the countdown to Christmas a little more fun and interesting for the kids. Â I can speak for mine as the days draw closer to Christmas my kids get anxious and this is going to be the answer to that “passing the time” quest.

When I opened the box I immediately saw the adorable little elves, one for each of my children. Â I was introduced to Sparkle (Bella’s Elf), Dodger (Gabriel’s Elf), and Jingle (Aidan’s Elf). Â I noticed right away these were very well made, sturdy and a good size. Â Not too big but not a small little toy either. Â Along with them came a letter specially written to each child from Herbie (the head elf).

The letter specifies what the elf is there for and how they have to be still like a doll during the day but at night using their elf magic they will do things around the house (more on that to come). Â Letting the children know what their elves “specialty” is at the North Pole and sharing that their elf has been asking all year to vacation with the child(ren). Â Below is a picture of the envelopes the letters arrive in:

After the kids open the letters and “get to know” their elves they can play with them during the day’s when they are “frozen” and then at night is when the real fun begins and your children can wake up to find out what adventure their elves have been on while they were sleeping. Â Along with the letter from Herbie each elf comes with several other items to make this a tradition your kids will look forward to every year.

elfingaround1 The I’m Here, I’m Here packet is an arrival note from the elf, you will want to place it along with the tattoo included in a place your child will see it when they wake. Â Telling the child to pick one spot that the elf will sleep in every night, so that they child always knows where to look for their elf when they wake and when he/she is not there to go looking for the elf. Â There is also a tattoo of the elf that your child can apply, a wishlist for your child to write their Christmas wishes on, an envelope addressed to Santa to put the wish list in and a See You Next year letter. Â It truly is going to be magical, I myself can’t wait to see the looks on my children’s faces when they see what the elves have been up to while they sleep.

elfingaround The thing that is going to make all the mischief/magic happen is the Elfing Around Parent Adventure Guide. Â This guide has 12 nightly suggested Elf Adventures as well as 4 blank postcards that you can use to create your own adventure and replace one of the 12 suggested with it. Â Here are a few sneek peaks at some of the adventures:

A Scavenger hunt with clues leading to whatever you want, it can be a treat, an early present, anything.
The Elf Decorates your tree with pieces of your kids clothing (that crazy little elf)
Elves Love Movies: Put a Christmas DVD in and forward to the middle of the movie. Â Prop elves up with a bowl of popcorn and the remote

The adventures the elf goes on is sure to bring a smile to your child’s face and have them waiting to see what the next adventure the elf goes on during the countdown to Christmas. Â Elfing Around is sure to make this Christmas countdown more exciting and fun for your little ones and even you, I know I am excited to do it this year. Â There is also a year 2 and 3 available for the coming years.

I will try to update you on the adventures as they happen once the countdown has started. Â This year instead of the same old “How much longer til Christmas” whining my kids usually have, we will be busy seeing what their elves have been up to and I for one can’t wait to see their reactions.
