25 Elf on the Shelf Ideas

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving filled with family, friends, yummy food and great wine. Today is Black Friday, meaning lots of sales- and I’ll be sharing some of my picks over on my Instagram stories throughout the weekend.

It also means it’s the return of the Elf on the Shelf in the Matkovic household. We went back and forth as to whether to welcome him back on December first or the day after Thanksgiving- and based on the current state of threedom we’ve been experiencing, we went with the latter.

Last year was our first with our elf, whom we named Elvis. It didn’t take long to realize that Phil was much more creative when it came to posing him throughout the house each night. And after a few weeks it became tricky to come up with novel, and easy, ideas for Elvis- even with the two of us brainstorming. So this year I scoured the internet to come up with different scenarios for our little guy.

Here are some easy Elf on the Shelf ideas- comment below with some of your own, we’ll need a few more than 25 over here:
