Muse Reviews » Have a little Elfin fun this Christmas!

Last year, a couple of weeks before Christmas, we were visited by a sweet little elf. Cocoa had lots of fun with us as the holiday drew near. She also caused a little bit of chaos as she stayed up past our bedtime to have a little elfish fun of her own around the house!

Cocoa heralds from Elfing Around, a creative elf-in-the-mail program thought up and run by Lisa Huckemeyer. Elfing Around is no ordinary “Santa’s spy” elf kit. No, sir. This is one of the most ingenuous, well-thought-out, planned, and all-encompassing elf kits I’ve found!

When you order an Elfing Around kit, you receive not only a cute, stuffed, poseable-armed elf ready for fun and adventure with your family (that you can name and write your child’s name on the bottom of his/her shoe), you’ll also get a Parent Adventure Guide Book, which lays out every single “elf antic” for you and shows you what do to to “set the scene” each night, including cut-out notes from the elf to read to your child the next morning. A letter from Herbie the Elf is also tucked inside, already postmarked from the North Pole, so you can send a notice to your child that an elf will be visiting soon. An introduction letter is included to read the day of the elf’s appearing, and 2 fun elf tattoos add one more surprise!

Your family’s elf will create the most unforgettable scenes, projects, and….well, messes….that will keep your children anticipating each new morning. Also included are several blank pages for you to come up with your own crafty scenarios, unique to your own child’s interests or family traditions!

(“I wonder where we’ll find Cocoa tomorrow?” my children excitedly asked each evening!)

For $29.99 each, you can choose either a boy elf or a girl elf to visit your home this Christmas season. Be sure to order soon in order to guarantee delivery in time….December 1st is when all of the fun will start happening around your place, and you want to be ready!

Hey! There’s more!

To keep the magic going, Lisa at Elfing Around offers a Year 2 Adventure Guide Book with accessories, which she graciously sent us this year to use! The elf “doings” are just as cute and clever as last year’s….and more neat things are added, such as North Pole currency and Bible verses that can be opened as “gifts” and shared with your children day by day.

Add a bit more mystery….and memories….to your Christmas season this year by getting an Elfing Around kit to share with your family. (These make great surprise gifts from friends, grandparents, and other relatives, too!)

Win it! Lisa of Elfing Around is graciously offering one Elfing Around package to one of my readers! To enter to win, tell me in a comment below which you’d pick: A boy elf or a girl elf, and what you or your child would name him/her….OR tell me something you especially like about the Elfing Around experience. I’ll close the contest next Monday, November 23rd, 2009 at 11pm EST. Sorry; US entries only. Good luck!

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

Congratulations to commenter #20, EOS Mom, the winner of the Elfing Around kit!

I’d get the girl, and we’d probably name her Troll… or Candy.

We would chose a boy and probably name him something silly like Jo-Jo or Frosty! (4 year old boys a very, very silly!)

we’d go with the boy elf who might be named “Charlie” – that seems to be the name of choice for Walker these days LOL

We’d probably get an elf boy and my daughter would probably name it Boots (from the show Dora.)

Would like the boy elf and name it Andy.

we’d most definetly get the boy elf and name him skilly after my sons pet cat that recently “left us”. It would make his xmas to have one of santas special helpers with us all year long!

We have two girls, so I think they would get a kick out of a girl elf! We would name her Merry! Cheesy, I know!

I’d choose the boy elf and I don’t know what the kids would name him, but I’d call him Buddy from the movie ‘Elf’.

i would get the girl, she would probably call her rose. she names everything after herself.

I’d like a boy elf…I suspect my family would name him Elfie, which sounds a lot like Evie, whichh is what my 3 yo calls our baby named Evan.

I think the girl elf is so cute so I think that’s who we’d go with and I have no idea what we’d name her. I do love how this adds a bit more magic to Christmas =)

We would pick the girl elf and probably name her Ginger. Thanks!

We’d have to get a girl elf and name her Stella — don’t ask!

We would love the boy elf, and my son would probably name him Elvis. That was the name given to the secret elf who visited last year, though he never actually got to see him. Thanks for the giveaway!

Tough decision here because even if I win one, I’m gonna need two…one for my little boy & girl. For a boy, I love the name Elvin the Elf & for a girl – Edith the Elf My kids would love these so much – they just love elves & have me read them every elf story I can find

We’d choose the BOY & name him ELF PELF …cause every Elf needs a last name !!!!

We’d want a boy Elf and I bet my son would name him Santa because he is pretty obsessed with the big guy this year!

We’d get the girl elf & I don’t really know what we’d name her. I love that this adds just a bit more adventure & magic to Christmas. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I think this is the coolest idea for a Christmas tradition!

We’d choose the girl elf…and name her, hm… maybe Jingle.

Thanks for the chance!

That sounds like so much fun–I’m sure my 4-year-old would LOVE it! I’d get the boy elf and let my son name him (he’ll probably choose a name from a tv show or movie, maybe “Woody” like from Toy Story).

Oh, my girls would LOVE this! I think I would get the boy elf and name him Eddie.

A girl Elf – who my 4 year old would likely call ‘Elfie’

I would pick the girl and name her Elfina

I’d pick the girl’s elf and name her Chloe’.
