Elf Tradition Ideas & Planning
Watch them run downstairs every morning to see what the elf did last night.
Personalized elf ideas for your kid, your supplies, and the time you have tonight.
Christmas memories don't wait
Give them the Christmas mornings they'll remember forever.
Kids only believe in a mischievous elf for so long. Until they stop, your elf turns up somewhere new every morning: tangled in the toilet paper, riding a dinosaur. Your kid gets proof the impossible is real.
The memory isn't the setup. It's the gasp at the top of the stairs. We do the thinking. You show up for that part.
Tonight's idea is already waiting, made for your kid, with supplies you have. A few minutes of magic becomes the story they tell for the rest of their lives.
What you get
Made for your kid, not for every kid
Their name, age, interests, and what made this year theirs, not a one-size-fits-all list.
A whole season, already planned
One idea a night on a calendar, a supply list with shopping links, and a reminder the evening before.
Forgot to move the elf? We wrote the excuse.
Print a note from the elf explaining what happened: a snow day, an elf nap, a magic recharge, a top-secret mission. Included with the Season Pass.
A keepsake at the end of the season
When the season wraps up, you get a recap: how many nights the elf visited, the ideas you loved, and the ones you saved for next year.
Every night, a little bit of magic
No two elves work quite the same way. Yours will be different too.

Questions parents actually ask
Do I need a specific elf or kit to use this?+
Nope. This works with whatever elf you already have. We’re not selling a doll or a physical kit, just the ideas, the planning, and (if you want it) the supply list.
What if I don’t have craft supplies at home?+
Snap a photo of what’s around and we’ll build ideas from exactly that. Or skip the photo and get a supply list you can shop from directly, with links included. Totally up to you.
Can I change an idea at the last minute?+
Any time. Every idea is tagged by how much setup it needs, so on a rough night you can swap in something that takes two minutes instead of twenty, with no re-planning required.
How far in advance can I plan?+
One click fills your whole season, from the day after Thanksgiving through the day after Christmas, and you can rearrange or regenerate any single day whenever you want.
What ages does this work for?+
Any age. Ideas are tailored using your child’s actual age and interests, whether they’re a toddler or heading into middle school.
How much does it cost?+
Your first quick ask is free. The Season Pass is $17.99 through October 31 (early bird), and the price goes up November 1. It covers the whole season: 50 generations (with up to 3 full-season builds per child) plus the calendar, supply lists and printables. Moving ideas around your calendar, editing child profiles, and browsing supply lists are free and unlimited. Need more? 22 more for $5.99.
Can I gift this to someone else?+
Yes, buy a Season Pass as a gift and we’ll email the recipient a link to redeem it on their own account. It’s a great gift for a friend or family member just starting their own elf tradition.
