The 11 Craziest Places People Have Put Their Elf on the Shelf


The 11 Craziest Places People Have Put Their Elf on the Shelf

Elf on a Shelf

Instagram

If you’ve ever owned, seen, or been subjected to an Elf on the Shelf, you know that this little dude almost never hangs out on a shelf. As the legend (and book) goes, it’s this doll’s job to spy on the children of a household and observe whether they’re being naughty or nice. Each night, the elf jets to the North Pole to report to Santa, and each morning he returns—and kids are tasked with finding out exactly where he is. Is he hiding on top of the kitchen cabinets or safely camouflaged amid a pile of wrapped gifts?

For parents, the challenge is coming up with clever ways to pose the elf each day, which many then share on Instagram. In fact, nearly 2 million Elf on the Shelf photos have been uploaded. Because if you don’t post your Elf on the Shelf’s move on Instagram, did it even happen?

In case you need some inspiration for where this elf can go, check out these offbeat ideas below (some may not be appropriate for kids, but adults are allowed to have fun with Mr. Elf, too).

Didn’t you know? Elves are very skilled with wrapping paper.

I guess it could be worse. #elfontheshelf

On a disco ball

Because after a long day of wrapping everything from SUVs to Hatchimals, elves really love to kick back with a whole fifth of Jack Daniels.

In an intense game of beer pong

Because buddy Jack Daniels always leads to this.

At the spa

Because after all that boozing, elves do need to detox.

Ice fishing on the john

Because elves love to go ice fishing—and will settle for whatever body of water is on hand.

In a block of ice

These elves must have said something that Queen Elsa couldn’t let go.

Namaste, little elf.

On a printer/scanner

Because who hasn’t scanned their rear end at some point? Maybe that miniature version of rapper Drake made him do it.

In a police lineup

Because elves, like children, can be naughty or nice.

Guess who's on the naughty list this year? #elfontheshelf #twelfdaysofchristmas #elf #elvesofinstagram #elfonashelf

In Minecraft

Because these elves can really go anywhere—even into a game world.
