Parents across Liverpool will be celebrating this week when they realise there’s only a few more days left of having to come up with quick Elf on the Shelf ideas.
The pesky elves return each year, capturing the imaginations of grown ups and kids alike, but there’s no doubt for parents it can get repetitive and hard to come up with new ideas.
With grown-ups expected to pose the cheeky elves each night for the kids to discover the next morning, it seems easy - until it’s not.
This year, some parents managed to get around the first two weeks by quarantining their elves, but these last days before Christmas Eve will be the tricky ones.
We’ve taken a look through the ECHO archives to find some of the best - and easiest - Elf on the Shelf inspired ideas that our readers have submitted over the years so you're not scratching your head before bed every night.
