Most items bought are to make life easier and if that's your thought too, this is not the product for you. This item will cause undue stress on a daily basis thoughout the Christmas season. You will spend a fair amount of time on Google and Pinterest every single day. You will then reject the majority of "ideas" for your new family member as either way too time consuming or because you do not own a craft store located within your house. On Christmas Eve, your kids will cry because Elfie leaves. You've been warned.
