Need a holiday elf? Grab one of these.

A cartoon holiday elf sitting on a kitchen counter holding a tiny mug.

The app names a hiding spot from a photo of the room you are standing in. You still need a posable holiday elf to put there. Already have one? Skip the shopping and see how it works. If you do not, pick one, bend the arms, go hide.

Boy elf (12")

A 12" shelf sitter. Smaller, easier to tuck on a toaster or a coffee mug. Bendy arms and legs, just less of him.

Then hide them. Snap this room, get a spot, place the elf. Get the app or see how it works.
