Hi there - it’s Leslie here!  

I'm a mom of two from Rockford, Michigan, and the creator of Elfin Around Kits.  Like so many parents, I loved watching my boys search for their elf every morning...

I just didn't love staying up late every night trying to think of something clever.

That's why I created Elfin Around Kits—to help parents enjoy the magic instead of stressing over it.

Christmas is our favorite season, but you'll usually find us camping by the lake in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and making memories together all year long.

Why I Started Elfin Around Kits

Like so many parents, I couldn't wait for our elf to arrive each Christmas. Watching my boys race through the house every morning, laughing as they searched for Ralphie, quickly became one of my favorite holiday traditions.

But after the excitement of the first few days, reality set in.

Every night, after a long day of work, dinner, homework, sports, and bedtime routines, I still had one more thing waiting for me—figuring out what our elf was going to do next.

I'd scroll Pinterest for ideas, dig through craft supplies, and hope inspiration would strike before I was ready to crawl into bed. Some nights I honestly thought, "Only 21 more nights to go..."

The magic my kids experienced each morning was wonderful, but behind the scenes, I was exhausted.

That's when I had an idea.

What if parents could have all of the magic...without all of the stress?

So I began creating ready-to-go elf adventures that were simple, creative, and fun. Everything is planned, organized, and packed for you—so instead of spending your evenings searching for ideas, you can spend them making memories with your family.

Today, every Elf Activity Kit is created with one goal in mind:

To help parents enjoy the magic of Christmas just as much as their children do.

Because those mornings when little feet come running down the hallway, eyes wide with excitement, don't last forever.

If I can make those moments easier for your family to create, then I've accomplished exactly what I set out to do.

From Our Little Christmas Shoppe

Nestled in the heart of downtown Rockford, Michigan is our little red Christmas shoppe.

It's where every Elf Activity Kit begins.

This is where new elf adventures are imagined, scenes are tested, instructions are written, and every detail is carefully perfected before it ever reaches your home.

While everyone else is enjoying summer...we're already thinking about Christmas.

Because we believe magical mornings don't happen by accident.

They happen because someone stayed up planning them long before December arrived.

Every kit that leaves our little shop is packed with the hope of making Christmas just a little easier—and a lot more magical—for families like yours.
