Local Crafty Holiday Helpers!

We found a couple of creative East Valley locals who sell complete kits to help Santa and make it easy for your elf to entertain your family! (Keep in mind that elves are not included).  

Ms Elf Helper

Hannah Kowitz has been helping Santa for four years and is a mom of two. She is a preschool teacher motivated by a love for the magic of Christmas! Each day requires 30-60 seconds to set up, so no more late night freak-outs! 

Kits include 24 days of elf moves and ideas for $65. All supplies include set-up pictures, props, welcome and goodbye letters, and two sets of daily report cards for the kids. Optional add-ons are available for purchase. MsElfHelper.com

Elfin Made Easy

This is Jackie Mirrione’s seventh year creating all kinds of elf shenanigans for families. For this mom of two with a special needs daughter and a full-time job with Gilbert Public Schools, it’s a fun side job to help provide extra money for the holidays.

Kits include 25 days of fun for your elf for $75. Supplies include a calendar of events, set-up instructions, props, personalized notes, STEM activities for the kids to do with the elf, and QR codes for more online fun. Kits can be ordered through Facebook @elfinmadeeasy or Instagram @elfinmade.
