Open. Place. Done.
Elf magic without the midnight panic.
The elf tradition should be fun, not another job on your to-do list. ElfSOS is designed to take the thinking and preparation out of those late-night setups.
Choose tonight's rescue
Look at the illustrated activity guide inside the lid. Pick the next numbered idea or jump to an emergency backup if you're short of time.
Grab the ready-made prop
Find the labelled accessory in your box. No cutting, gluing, folding or last-minute shopping for the main activities.
Position the elf
Put the elf in place, add the prop, and head to bed. Your children wake up to another little surprise.
What makes an ElfSOS idea different?
We focus on quick visual jokes and playful surprises that can be set up with minimal fuss. Some are cheeky, some are magical, and some are simply an excuse for the elf to have a rest. We aim for most setups to take around 30 seconds to two minutes, although actual times vary.
What if you forget?
That's exactly why there are six extra emergency ideas in the planned main box. The Members Club also has quick printable signs and a rescue idea tool for those nights when you're already halfway up the stairs.
What happens next year?
Store the box with your Christmas decorations and choose a new refill edition when you're ready. The idea is to reuse what you can and keep the fun fresh.
