An Elf for Christmas is a great way to make the run up to Christmas special for children by using the elf as an incentive to get them behave but also creating lots of fun by getting up to mischief overnight for the children to find in the morning.
The Elf for Christmas Magical Reward Kit contains everything you need on the run up to Christmas. The actual Elf is a really lovely quality and comes beautifully dressed. You can get it in either girl or boy variants, we received the boy who comes in his lovely green cord dungarees. Also inside the box you will find an array of items you can leave with the Elf each day to encourage your child to behave on the run up to Santa’s arrival and add to the fun that the Elf brings each day!

The Elf’s First Adventure book is a lovely story full of coloured pages to really engage with little ones. I think this is an ideal gift for the Elf to leave out one day and is a nice story to read at bedtimes.
One of my favourite items from the Elf for Christmas range has to be this Magical Elf Door. It’s well made and has some lovely detail on it and is perfect to stand against a wall inside your house. You can use your imagination however you want for this but it’s great to suggest this is the door the elves go through to get back to the North Pole and get busy wrapping presents.
The best feature about this door is that it also lights up. Batteries are included so it’s just a case of putting them in the battery holder on the underside and switch it on. How pretty is this?
I think the Elf for Christmas range is totally magical for little ones and really helps bring the Christmas countdown in December alive and fun. There are numerous products available in the range to help you our so they are well worth checking out. Everything has been carefully thought about and well made.
So if you haven’t got an elf yet or want to add one to your collection (we here have a couple of little mischievous little visitors each night!) then take a look at Elf for Christmas.
What will your elf be getting up to tonight? Ours has cheekily jumped aboard the boy’s homemade fire engine!
All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions. We are not paid for reviews although we do receive the product to try out and enable us to write the review.
I then added various berries, herbs and filtered water to my ice cube trays and tried to choose trays with appropriate shapes for the festive season such as stars and long oblong shapes that would sit prettily in glasses. What I love about these is that they are so versatile and you can use them in plain water, lemonade or cocktails. The choice is yours. I added a drop of orange juice to some of the star cubes for added flavour but love that all the ingredients add both flavour, texture and a really attractive addition to your Christmas drink!
Using water is so simple but adds an interesting touch to drinks at Christmas and is something that all your guests will love. With the water being filtered you know it has a better flavour and your ice cubes will melt perfectly into the drink.
Eager to start making decorations the children have been busy creating, loving every minute of putting these simple to use kits together. The scratch art caught both their eyes and they were engrossed in scratching the black overlay to reveal rainbow colours underneath.
The Santa and Elf foam sticky packs are really simple to assemble and kept the children occupied for ages creating all different combinations of glasses, hats, gloves etc. on the character templates. Again they look fabulous and I can’t wait to string them along my front room to add to the festive feel!
We were provided with a polystyrene wreath and the relevant colour Duck Tapes and couldn’t wait to get started. We had to cut just over sixty 6 inch strips of green tape which we folded and fringed with the scissors. This was Miss M’s job whilst I stuck the strips around the wreath. We used a whole roll of green tape up but fortunately I had a little green left on a roll in the garage so we were able to continue. 
The array of goodies on the shelves as you enter the shop keep your eyes wandering in excitement whilst the aroma hits you and instantly makes your feel relaxed. I love looking at all the Christmas gifts wrapped in pretty boxes or super cute tins. They have a great choice to fit everyones tastes and price points.
Then is was time to check out the Christmas ranges and there were so many fun things, even my children would be spoilt for choice by some of the cute bath pieces. The Christmas Penguin bubble bar looks too cute to break up but it’s worth it for the mountain of bubbles it produces. Santasaurus would sit just perfectly in my little boys stocking this year, a reusable bubble bar meaning he could have several baths swishing it around creating bubbles whilst relaxing and playing in an aroma of orange and bergamot oils. 
For me I was tempted with the Golden Wonder bath bomb. It looks rather grand as it’s shaped like a huge present box and covered in a gold shimmer. It has one of my favourite fragrances, lime oil in it and as it melts away in the water is a secret surprise inside. Why not try one out for yourself for a long relaxing treat?
I’ve never really used any of Lush’s face and body products so decided to go out of my comfy bath bomb box and try something new, not just for myself but to share with you, my readers. I tried Bûche De Noël, a facial cleanser, a totally fresh, natural cleansing product packed full of ground almonds, kaolin, fresh mandarin, dried cranberries and cocoa butter. It does have a very festive touch to it but how would it work?
