Ready for Some Christmas Elf Chaos?
So, you've decided to invite a mischievous little elf into your home for December. Brave. We had one get loose in our Hamilton store last year and he got up to all sorts of nonsense.
If you're already wondering how you're supposed to come up with a new idea every single night until Christmas, don't panic. We've put together a collection of easy Christmas elf ideas to keep the little troublemaker busy. From simple hiding spots to full-blown household chaos.
And because nobody has time to spend three hours constructing an elaborate elf scene at midnight, we've included plenty of ideas that take almost no effort at all.
All of these photos come from a pair of real-life Christmas elves causing mischief at home. A huge thank you to Stacey for letting us share her photos!

Just two sweet elves, not up to anything naughty - honest!

A little shave, a little mischief, a lot of mess.

Someone’s been practicing their aim… with a very questionable choice of ammo.

Hide and Seek!

And that's a wrap!
