If you do the Elf on the Shelf or something similar, this would be a really cool and A Fun Way For Your Elf To Arrive From The North Pole to your home.
Use our North Pole mailing label on a box and put your elf inside. You could even put the box in the freezer for a bit for the “North Pole effect”.
You can easily purchase our North Pole mailing labels in either brown and/or white below!

You can purchase this fantastic and inexpensive white and brown paper for your elf packages. Both are perfect for attaching to any package to look as if it’s just been delivered from the North Pole.
Both parents and grandparents would have so much fun with this idea! This cute label placed on a package makes it look as if the package has been sent from Santa Claus himself – complete with canceled postage and an elf stamp to boot!
If you don’t do the “Elf“, do you have a special gift you would like to give your child or grandchild *before* Christmas?
These fun printables (that you can print on your home printer) have an “OPEN NOW” sign right on the label. There is no waiting til Christmas for this fun package!
This is also the perfect Christmas Eve Box!
The idea isn’t about getting more gifts. It’s about a special tradition that your family does and receiving the items in a very FUN way – either on Christmas Eve or before Christmas!
Now, you know Santa gets a lot of credit for Christmas. Personally – I would tell my kids or grandkids that I have an “in” with Santa and he is going to deliver something special before Christmas. Maybe Christmas PJ’s or a Christmas book that you want to have your kids enjoy *before* Christmas.
TIP:
Now you know Santa gets a lot of credit for Christmas. Personally, I would tell my kids or grandkids that I have an “in” with Santa and he is going to deliver something special that you’ve picked out (items you wanted your kids to have before Christmas).
This isn’t about getting more gifts. It’s about a special tradition and creating memories that your family does and getting those items to your home a very FUN and unique way!
Items to place inside the package…
- a Christmas book – a book you would like to read to your kids throughout the Christmas season
- pajama’s – we always got our Christmas PJ’s on Christmas Eve. I like the idea of getting them sooner and wearing them all through December.
- cookie mix (for an afternoon of baking cookies)
- hot cocoa mix (check back soon for an awesome North Pole hot cocoa label)
- Polar Express Bell
– for those who believe!
- Christmas ornaments – can you imagine how special these ornaments will be to your kids knowing they came from Santa or his elves?
- Christmas craft kit
– spend time with your kids making Christmas crafts
- tickets to a Christmas play or performance
