20 Fun Elf on the Shelf Ideas for your Elf this season. We are going on year three of welcoming our Elf on the Shelf (aka Mistletoe) into our home from Thanksgiving through Christmas. The boys absolutely love Misteltoe and I am so happy we started the tradition. I must admit though – Mistletoe is a lazy elf and sometimes stays in the same spots for a few days in a row (oops)! This year we are lighting a fire under that little mischievous Elf’s butt to get a move on. With both boys in school and on a bedtime schedule I think it will make it a lot easier for Mistletoe to find new spots.
I have rounded up 20 awesome and fun elf on the shelf ideas to give your elf a little inspiration too! Who wants a boring ole’ elf anyways?

love these ideas, especially the on where he's stuck on the wall , surrounded by the soldiers
My daughter gets them from Starbucks all of the time for her American Girl dolls. Ask anyone at Starbucks for a sample cup with lid and straw – if you tell them it is for your kids (or elf) they will be more than happy to give you a few.
Where did you find that adorable Starbucks glass? I need one!!
