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).
