As soon as the temperature starts to plummet and the Christmas countdown comes into full view, most kids immediately start inquiring when their Elf on the Shelf is making his or her official debut [1]. And while having to come up with creative ideas for the family's holiday sidekick [2] can be challenging, perhaps buying an Elf on the Shelf Inflatable [3] ($40) from Target will take the pressure off finding the perfect hiding spot on the daily. Made of polyester, all you have to do is hook this little guy up to an electrical outlet and watch him light up your front lawn. Perhaps, just perhaps, this means that your smaller Elf on the Shelf can take a few breaks every now and then, or perhaps go on a Caribbean holiday in mid-December!
