Day1
30-second setup

Right. Who's your elf?

Just the basics. You can make it personal later, when you've had a cuppa.

Say cheese, elf 📸

Snap your elf's head once, against a plain wall if you can. It stays on this phone. Every night we'll show you exactly what to do, with your elf in the picture. No reading required.

Tonight's pep talk

Where's your elf off to tonight?

Snap the spot. We'll do the thinking.

🔒 We never save photos of your home. They're only used to dream up tonight's idea.

Plan ahead

Want a showstopper?

Pick a night. We'll tell you what to get this week, nudge you to prep, then remind you on the night.

      Psst.

      This is the nudge you'll get each night

      Floppy elf? Give it a skeleton 🦴

      Slide pipe cleaners up the arms and legs under the clothes. No pipe cleaners? Bag ties from the freezer drawer work too, or the wires your elf came packed in. Fold the ends over so there are no sharp bits.

      Optional · 1 minute

      Make it personal

      Add the kids, the pets and the grown-ups. Your elf will mention them by name, tease Daddy's slippers and drag the dog into it.

        How alive are you?

        Pick one and your elf gets thinking.

        No photo? No problem.

        Pick a room and we'll think of something. (Ideas are better with a photo, because we can use what's actually there.)

        The plain list

        Every idea we've got, no photo needed. Tap one to see it.
