When does your elf make an appearance? Chances are he/she is going to be stopping in very soon, if they haven't already! I asked my friends and family to share their creative ways they staged their Elf On A Shelf throughout the years, for my own inspiration, and most importantly, so that I can share with all of you! I personally struggle with this every year. Between lack of creative (and easy) ideas, and remembering to actually move them every night, it has become more of a chore than it is any fun. I am going to change that up this year! These great staging ideas have me motivated to make our elves, Fred & Sprinkles, put on their best show yet! The best advice I received was to set a reminder on my phone to move the elves about 30 minutes before my usual bedtime. Genius! Next best advice, take a look at these AWESOME ideas shown below and find your elfspiration! You got this!
