For parents who are already knackered

Your elf ideas,
sorted. Every night.

Snap a room. Say how alive you are. See exactly what to do with your elf, in a picture, in seconds. Then go to bed.

The best 99p you'll spend all December.

First, a moment for you

The elf was a lovely tradition right up until you realised you are the elf.

99pAll December
How it works

Three taps. Zero thinking.

Built for 10pm brains. No scrolling Pinterest, no planning, no reading paragraphs while the kettle boils.

1

Snap a room

Point your phone at wherever your elf's going tonight. The app spots what's already there to play with.

2

How alive are you?

Pick your energy level and get an idea that matches it, from 2 minutes to full showstopper.

๐ŸงŸ Barely Aliveโ˜• Running on Fumes๐ŸŽ„ Quite Festiveโœจ Main Character
3

Copy the picture

See your elf, with its face, posed in your room, exactly where it goes. Copy it, then go to bed.

What you get

Small app. Big December energy.

Everything a tired grown-up needs to keep the magic going, and nothing they don't.

๐Ÿ“ธ

Your elf, in the picture

Snap your elf once. Every idea shows your actual elf in the pose, placed in your room. Pictures, not paragraphs.

๐Ÿ””

Reminders from your elf

A nightly nudge at the time you choose, from your elf, by name. Kids never forget. Nor do elves. Parents forget their keys daily.

๐Ÿ“…

Plan a big night

Pick a night for a showstopper. Choose free (use what's in the house) or feeling flush. We'll remind you to prep.

โœ๏ธ

Notes in elf script

Optional notes from your elf to the kids, by name. Print them in proper elf handwriting.

Dear Ava and Max, I was framed. Mostly. Please send biscuits. Love, Jingles x

๐Ÿ˜‚

A laugh for you, every night

Every idea opens with a pep talk for the grown-up. Because you're the one doing this at 10pm.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง

Made personal, when you're ready

Add the kids' names and ages, the pets and the grown-ups. Your elf will tease Daddy's slippers and drag the dog into it.

Floppy elf?

Elf surgery. 15 minutes. No NHS waiting list.

A floppy elf can only flop. Give yours a skeleton and it can wave, climb, hang and hug. We tested it on our own elf, Snowflake, before breakfast.

A kebab skewer4 twisty tiesScissorsA table, no kids

No twisty ties? The little wires your elf came packed in are about arm length. Already in the box.

โ€œNow I'm the elf surgeon. Not sure she's on the NHS though.โ€

Snowflake's surgeon, 8am on a Saturday
  1. Measure firstHold a tie against each limb. It needs to reach past the elbow or knee. Trim to fit and pick your entry point to match. Once it's in, it's not coming out.
  2. Arms: in at the underarmPoke the skewer in at the underarm seam and push down the arm. Wiggle past the elbow stitching, without coming out through the top of the arm.
  3. Thread the tieSame hole. Straighten it as you go, squish it along from the outside, and bend the arm to help it slide until it's hidden.
  4. Legs: in at the back of the thighMid-thigh if your ties are short. Down past the knee. It doesn't need to reach the feet.
  5. Repeat ร—4The holes hide in the seams. Your elf knows nothing. Kids don't touch elves anyway, so nobody will ever find out.

Questions

You asked. Well, you will.

Will my kids see the app?

Not unless you show them. The pictures are for your eyes only: a quick look at what to do, then you set up the real thing.

Does it work with any elf?

Yes. Any elf, any brand, any number of elves. Snap yours once and the app uses its face in every idea.

Do I need to buy stuff?

No. Most ideas use what's already in your house. If you're feeling flush, the plan-ahead mode can suggest a prop or two for the big nights.

How much is it?

99p for the whole of December. No subscription, no adverts.

Is this official elf stuff?

No. We're a very tired parent, a kebab skewer and an elf called Snowflake. We're not connected to any elf brand. Your elf, whoever made it, is welcome here.

Ready for December
