That little elf doll costs $30? Wtf
Times must be tough. Yeah, it is only $30 and comes with a book that she reads damn near every day. People who have daughters can tell you that a $30 doll isn't anything crazy.

He usually comes out right after Thanksgiving so that's about a month of her having fun with it. $1 a day is a small price to pay. Much less actually when you use it multiple years.

I was about to say the same thing. And these parents pay that?? For a small stuffed elf?


I've paid $30 for far less entertaining things...like socks. I paid $30 for socks yesterday.

We do not do the Elf on A Shelf, but I get why others do, and if it brings their family some joy and entertainment, then good for them.

We don't do the elf thing either, but I'm starting to think we need a Grinch board around this time of year.

If it comes with a nice hardcover book I guess $30 is reasonable.

I'm not against the concept.....I just am seriously creeped out by the elf.

You joke, but this place thrives on its disdain for popular things while simultaneously hating hipsters. It is quite a conundrum.

I hate that fricking thing. I am going to have my kid ruin it for other kids/parents.
