Where to Buy Elf on the Shelf

As you prepare for celebrating your own unique family traditions, you may be wondering about this little elf that keeps showing up in peoples homes.  If you are new to the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon, then check out our posts listed below.  I recommend starting with our 50 Elf on the Shelf Ideas for Busy Moms.  It’s a great place to find ideas that are simple and fast to complete.

Look at your local Christmas shop. 

One of the first places to look is your own local Christmas shops.  If you have holiday stores, check for great deals there for your Elf on the Shelf purchase.

Retail Stores:

 Another answer to the question about where to buy Elf on the Shelf is to just go look in the holiday department of stores like Meijer, Walmart, Target, HomeGoods, or KMart.  While the prices may be a bit higher there, you’ll likely find them easily early in the season.

Shop on Amazon for your Elf on the Shelf. 

My favorite place, of course, is to simply go to Amazon to buy my Elf on the Shelf.  My reason for preferring this is because there is so much variety, and it is much easier to keep hidden.  Having Amazon boxes show up at the house is nothing new, so kids are less likely to be curious about “what’s in that bag” when you get home from shopping.

Another benefit to finding your Elf on the Shelf on Amazon is that you have tons of variety.  You can choose a red-haired, blonde haired, or brunette elf.  You can also find ones with different eye colors.  If your budget is small, you can pick up an off-brand elf to satisfy your need without spending the higher price point of the original. Be sure to check Elf on the Shelf accessories you may need!

Buy Elf on the Shelf at your local bookstore. 

Ultimately, the classic location for where to buy Elf on the Shelf is at your local bookstore.  Barnes & Noble always has a large display of the book as well as the Elf during the holiday season.  You may also find independent bookstores that have displays of the Elf on the Shelf.  As the trend began with a fun book, you may want more than just the Elf, but also to purchase the book to read with your child.

If you are asking the question of where to buy Elf on the Shelf this year, then we’ve given you some great ideas.  This year, you can start a wonderful new family tradition that will help your children enjoy the spirit of the holiday even more!
