A Little Elf for THE Shelf – 11½" Unpainted Ceramic Christmas Elf
PAINT HIM ONCE. BRING HIM OUT EVERY CHRISTMAS. ❤️
There's something magical about a little Christmas elf showing up around the house every December.
So we thought...
Why not make one that's actually yours?
Our Little Elf for THE Shelf is an approximately 11½" tall ceramic Christmas elf that arrives completely unpainted — ready for you to turn him into a one-of-a-kind part of your family's Christmas.
Paint him in the classic Christmas look with a bright red suit, rosy cheeks and all the little details that make a Christmas elf come to life.
Then give him a place of his own.
Sit him on your child's dresser. Put him on a bookshelf in their bedroom. Let him watch over the presents from the mantel. Give each grandchild their own.
And when Christmas is over, carefully pack him away with the decorations.
Next December, he comes back.
And the December after that.
And the one after that.
Until one day, that little ceramic elf isn't just something you painted.
He's part of Christmas. ❤️
EVEN BETTER? PAINT HIM TOGETHER.
Grandmas, this is where this little guy gets really special.
Order one for each grandchild — and one for yourself.
Put on the Christmas music. Make the cocoa. Cover the table in newspaper and get out the paints.
Everybody gets an elf.
They don't have to match. They don't have to be perfect. In fact, we hope they're not.
When you're finished, write everyone's name and the year on the bottom.
Years from now, nobody is going to care whether the red stayed inside the lines.
They're going to remember who was sitting around that table.
And someday your grandchild may be putting that same little elf on a dresser in their own home at Christmas.
Maybe with Grandma's elf sitting right beside it.
That's the kind of Christmas decoration we love.
