Elf On A Shelf

Can I buy one locally? Is Gracie too young for it this year?

Re: Elf On A Shelf

  • We are starting it with DD this year. She will be too young to understand the whole concept, but I know that she will LOVE looking for the elf in the mornings so I figured we would give it a start. Last time I was at Barnes and Noble I saw them.

  • I'm going to start it this year too. I haven't seen any locally but I really haven't looked. When does everyone start the Elf on a Shelf?
  • We did it last year Megan was almost 3 and Ryan was 14 months and it was so fun! Even Ryan was looking for our elf in the mornings, smiling and pointing at him! I can't wait for this year since he's going to really get it too, so it will be even more fun to look for "Buddy" each morning :-)

    B&N carried it last year! 

  • Not sure when to start since Andrew is only 7-months old but I was at the Northwest Hills Pharmacy on 360 yesterday and they had some.

  • I got ours at Hallmark last year. I think I also saw them in a recent PBK catalog so they might have them locally as well.
  • i saw them at gaga (baby store on south lamar) this morning.  the girls are already talking about when 'snoovey' is coming back!
  • I remember seeing them at Hallmark last year as well. Hoping they have them too because we plan to start this year. Smile So excited, I even made a pinterest board to keep ideas.

  • We started it last year when DD was just over 2 and she loved it. She named him "Dodi" and still talks about him all the time.  She is excited that he'll be coming back from the North Pole soon.  Ditto PPs, B&N and Hallmark have had it in the past. 

    Oh, and fwiw, don't start it TOO early (like this month) b/c you will quickly run out of fun hiding places.  We started too early last year and Dodi would stay in one hiding place for a few days sometimes b/c I would forget or could not think of another "Safe" place for him.

    It's so much fun!

    Awww, thanks! It was great to meet you as well! Glad Gracie didn't scare you off with the epic tantrum throwing Wink

    haha...oh trust me, E has the redheaded temper. I have seen my fair share of temper tantrums. It's always so much cuter when it's someone else's child. And makes me breath a sigh of relief that mine isn't the only one.
