Get ready to create the most adorable Christmas Elf Gnome! He’s a good little helper, but be careful he’s also been known to stir up a bit of mischief and sneak his hand into the cookie jar a time or two. All the same, he is sure to bring extra holiday cheer into your home or workspace. Watch others squeal with delight as he spreads extra holiday cheer wherever he goes.

Whether you plan to use him as a holiday decoration, as a special gift, or for play, he’s sure to add that extra touch of joy to each occasion.
