If you're struggling to think of funny ideas, we have some of the best ones for you right here.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a toy which is sent by Father Christmas to watch over little children and make sure they're behaving properly over the festive period.

Parents are supposed to move the puppet around the house each day to create the illusion that he is popping up somewhere new and always reporting back to Santa.

Elf on the Shelf has it's own  where elves can be purchased from £29.95 including the accompanying book.

It's not exactly easy to think of a brand new set-up for the elf every single day, but luckily there's plenty of inspiration out there.
