Parents Share Their Best 'Elf On The Shelf' Creations (And We're Impressed)

The elf on the shelf tradition is likely to sweep family households this year, which sees parents creating new scenarios for their elves to pop up each morning.

The elf in question is a character from a children's book, which tells the story of how Santa sent an elf to every home to spy on children and report back whether they had been 'naughty' or 'nice'.

We asked the HuffPost UK Parents community to share their best 'elf on the shelf' creations they've come up with in the past.

Browse through the tweets and click through the slideshow below to give you a bit of inspiration.
