There are few Christmas traditions quite as endearing as the Elf on the Shelf, so it's easy to understand why so many families invite these mischief-makers into their homes each year. But failing to provide your little houseguest with a full wardrobe of apparel options is a big mistake. After all, how can your Elf be expected to wake up every morning and tackle an exciting new prank without dressing the part?
When Elf on the Shelf starts in December, shop our curated list of the best Elf on the Shelf clothes. These teeny-tiny outfit ideas include cozy parkas, fluffy vets, plaid dresses, and even full-fledged costumes. Heck, you might just decide to dress up your Elf as Buddy the Elf himself. Pick out a creative Elf on the Shelf name for your Scout Elf, then brainstorm some cute Elf on the Shelf return ideas for his grand entrance. You could dress your Elf up as a coffee-loving employee of "Elfbucks," for instance, or simply ask him to don a chocolate chip cookie costume in honor of your latest batch of Christmas cookies. Or maybe you'd like to really think outside the box this year and have your Elf dress as a cowboy or mermaid. Truthfully, as with our favorite Elf on the Shelf ideas, there's no limit to how creative you can get with these outfits and Elf on the Shelf accessories.
