    • Cute idea, only requires one day of work
Review Image by Ann-Marie Ann-Marie
I had no idea this existed. My 9 year old kept saying she wanted to invite her elves (yes, we have two- a girl and a boy) to her birthday party. Sure enough I found this product on Amazon. The price was good so I ordered it and it arrived 2 days later with Prime shipping. We read the book together to figure out what we needed to do to invite the elves and what to expect when they arrived for her birthday. I was able to go to the Elf on the Shelf website and send an invitation to the elves for Santa to approve. I was so relieved to just do it online. The elf (elves in my case) only come for one day, just the birthday, but they arrived on a chair which they decorate. I went to the dollar store and bought a balloon and some other decorations for the chair (see my picture). I split the little cupcake outfit between the two elves, but I know it would be super cute on just one elf. My daughter was so happy to see the elves (and I was happy to put them away after the one day!) I would recommend especially for the kiddos that still believe! ... show more

    • Misleading and missing parts!

Misleading product! The book was drawn all over and all through and there was no outfit, even though the description clearly states there is one. Will definitely return for a refund!

    • A new tradition
My 3 year old daughter missed her elf, Snowflake after Christmas so when I saw this I knew her day would be made! I gave her the book a few days before her birthday and she loved the story. She was so excited for Snowflake to visit. I really love the idea of the "birthday chair", it's a tradition we will keep that made my daughter feel extra special. The cupcake outfit for the elf is very cute and festive. I felt like the story didn't have the same rhyming flow as the The Christmas tradition book, but my daughter loves it so I still give it 5 stars. I would recommend this to anyone who's kids love their Christmas Elf on the Shelf. ... show more

    • Elf on the Shelf Birthday Tradition and Birthday Chair Tradition
Review Image by Stef W Stef W
Review Image by Stef W Stef W
I thought this was a great addition to our Elf on the Shelf Tradition. The story instructs the child to send an invitation to their elf so that he can get permission from Santa to spend the child's birthday with them. On the night before the birthday the child sets out the elf's special birthday outfit. Santa blows his magic birthday dust on the elf so he can attend and show up the next morning. Since Elves are so tiny, they can't bring a gift so they do a North Pole tradition. The elf will pick a special chair and decorate it, whether it be using things in the house, making a scene with a giraffe or putting candy in a balloon. Then when the day is done he flies back to Santa (or I'm guessing stays if it's in December). The book and tradition was really cute and my 3 year old son loved it!!! We look forward to our elf Bernard visiting every birthday! ... show more

    • Read before gifting
I am happy that elf on the shelf can visit my son on his birthday and there is a book explaining to him why he gets to visit. After reading the book, I decided to give it to him a day before his bday bc it tells us to leave the little cupcake outfit out for him to put on when he gets to your house. Also it says he will decorate a chair for him on his bday. With that being said, it is wise for the book to be read the day before the birthday. ... show more
