If Elf on the Shelf [1] is the type of thing that takes over your free time every December, we don't necessarily have a way for you to get out of the commitment — you have to move Buddy! — but we did just find something that might take some of the pressure off you to get super creative: an advent calendar [2] dedicated to the guy himself!

The Elf on the Shelf® Orna-POP! Advent Countdown [3] ($15) comes with 27 mini mylar ornaments with fun prompts and jokes written on them for the kids, plus they can pop each one open for a surprise! It's truly fun for the whole family [4] this holiday season.
