### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute idea, only requires one day of work
*by A***E on February 3, 2016*

I had no idea this existed. My 9 year old kept saying she wanted to invite her elves (yes, we have two- a girl and a boy) to her birthday party. Sure enough I found this product on Amazon. The price was good so I ordered it and it arrived 2 days later with Prime shipping. We read the book together to figure out what we needed to do to invite the elves and what to expect when they arrived for her birthday. I was able to go to the Elf on the Shelf website and send an invitation to the elves for Santa to approve. I was so relieved to just do it online.The elf (elves in my case) only come for one day, just the birthday, but they arrived on a chair which they decorate. I went to the dollar store and bought a balloon and some other decorations for the chair (see my picture). I split the little cupcake outfit between the two elves, but I know it would be super cute on just one elf. My daughter was so happy to see the elves (and I was happy to put them away after the one day!)I would recommend especially for the kiddos that still believe!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elf on the Shelf Birthday Tradition and Birthday Chair Tradition
*by S***W on November 8, 2013*

I thought this was a great addition to our Elf on the Shelf Tradition. The story instructs the child to send an invitation to their elf so that he can get permission from Santa to spend the child's birthday with them. On the night before the birthday the child sets out the elf's special birthday outfit. Santa blows his magic birthday dust on the elf so he can attend and show up the next morning. Since Elves are so tiny, they can't bring a gift so they do a North Pole tradition. The elf will pick a special chair and decorate it, whether it be using things in the house, making a scene with a giraffe or putting candy in a balloon. Then when the day is done he flies back to Santa (or I'm guessing stays if it's in December).The book and tradition was really cute and my 3 year old son loved it!!! We look forward to our elf Bernard visiting every birthday!

### ⭐ False advertisement

False advertisement.. this DID NOT included costume as stated. Now I don't have time to order another one elsewhere to get it in time.
