Elf Mates - EotS friends

Santa Claus has a host of friends who help him each Christmas. This year, along with The Elf on the Shelf® and the Elf Pets®, comes a new set of heroes who must actively inspire kids and not just watch from afar! When Santa Claus gets word that people are going against the true spirit of Christmas, he recruits some extra help to actively raise Christmas cheer. Some very special elves, who have been living in the arctic forest all along, team up with Santa to help spread kindness. Introducing Elf Mates™! Elf Mates™ are adoptable elves who partner with children to give Santa Claus a helping hand by bringing back the true spirit of Christmas. Armed with a magical golden heart and a special mission from St. Nick, each Elf Mate proves they are Santa’s truest pals by reminding us all why it is better to give than to receive. Encourage kindness and whimsy this Christmas season with the Elf Mates™ Cobbler, Chef, and Toy Maker by your side. Pick up a copy of The Story of Elf Mates , sold separately, and be reminded why it’s always cool to be kind, especially at Christmastime! Each huggable, lovable mate comes with a poem that explains how they inspire kindness, in the hopes that kids will be inspired, too! Choose from: The Chef: “Since I use food as the way to the heart, I’ll cook up kind acts to set me apart. I’ll remind kids who have a very full tummy to give something to those who need something yummy.” – Chef Always cooking up a dose of good cheer, the Elf Mates™ Chef knows the true way to the heart is through the stomach. That’s why this spirited, sweet-loving pixie enjoys spending time in and around the kitchen; but you better watch out! They are known to have a sweet tooth and might sneak a nibble from every sweet in your house! But their true sweetness comes from their sweet spirit that shows us how to bolster the true spirit of Christmas through the kitchen! Whether by reducing food waste, lending a helping hand in the kitchen, or donating to a local food bank, the Elf Mates™ Chef inspires you to share a little more bounty with those who might need it. The Toy Maker “Since I’m handy and playful, I use whimsy and charm to bring fun at Christmas and never do harm. I’ll remind all the good little girls and boys to give something away when they get a new toy.” – Toy Maker What could be sprightlier than an elf who makes toys? Maybe one who gives them away! The Elf Mates™ Toy Maker is the court jester of the North Pole and a clever, crafty inventor. After all, their job is to play all day! But behind all their fun-loving antics is a lighthearted passion for the power of play to do good in the world. They are dedicated to helping others first, which in turns helps Santa Claus. This Elf Mate’s message is that Christmas is not just about receiving, it is about giving! The Elf Mates™ Toy Maker encourages you to make a toy or gift for someone less fortunate, or perhaps to donate unused toys to a charity where they can bring a smile to another child. The Elf Mates™ Toy Maker inspires you and those you love to share a little more laughter and fun this Christmas, and to never keep the gift of play all to yourself! The Cobbler “Since I love shoes and the clothes that match with it, I’ll bring warmth to each home with flair and wit. I’ll remind kids who have more than enough to give something away before they grab up more stuff.” – Cobbler With a heart bigger than Santa’s boots, these elves made shoes in the past, but now they’ve mastered the art of all kinds of essential items. They’ll liven up the dullest Christmas because they can “cobble” almost anything together with their whimsical creativity and charm! They adore a good game of dress up and the silly cheer of goofy Christmas clothing. This Elf Mate asks us to put ourselves in others’ shoes and recognize their struggles while also being grateful for what we have. The Elf Mates™ Cobbler will inspire you and those you love to share a little more warmth with others this Christmas by donating shoes, clothing and other essential items to those in need.
