Every Black Friday Barnes & Noble returns with a coupon code. This is a great time to shop for Elf on the Shelf!

Elf on the Shelf Barnes and Noble Coupon

Head over to Barnes & Noble for 30% off with coupon code 30BFRIDAY (this discount can not be used on Nook Products.) Code ends 11/29/15.

I added The Elf on The Shelf to my cart for $29.95. Using the code the item was reduced to $20.96. For comparison, this is Elf on the Shelf Ideas!

Elf on the Shelf Doll Savings

Because this Black Friday Coupon Code only comes during select times, it’s important to get creative when finding an Elf on the Shelf Doll Savings.

When buying, first, realize if you are buying and elf that is any color other than red, it is a knock-off. Second, make sure your Elf on the Shelf comes with a book and box. Other elves are not the Original Scout Elf.

If you can’t wait on a Barnes and Noble Coupon, shop Amazon. Grab a Free Trial of Amazon Prime and get Free 2-day Shipping. This ensures your Elf arrives on time. Having it on time is almost worth not waiting for that $10 savings. Amazon Prime shipping will be the best gift you give yourself this Christmas season. It’s like your very own North Pole Gift from Santa.

You can check on your Facebook Marketplace for Elf on the Shelf dolls that are being sold. Also check discount places like Thrift Stores and Goodwill.

When your very own Scout Elf Arrives, follow the I’m Back Ideas for Elf. Perhaps he comes and goes with an Elf Door. Also, be sure to take a look at all the Good-Bye Elf on the Shelf ideas for Elf’s Last Night.

Overview

The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition™ is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children’s book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.

Each Tradition-in-a-Box™ comes with its very own scout elf, a hardbound children’s book and a keepsake box for easy storage. In addition, each shipment is marked for “Special Delivery” from Santa’s workshop.

Note: Before the code, shipping was free. After the code Shipping increased to $3.99. You can try to ship to the store for FREE.

Head to Barnes & Noble to grab yours! Don’t forget our daily Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

It’s that time of year! Get this set of Elf on The Shelf Boy & Girl Dolls (no longer available) to start the season off! Is anyone else ready for this Christmas Tradition?

Also, check out our 2019 Elf on the Shelf Ideas, a new idea every day in November and December! You can view our Elf on the Shelf Master List for a full list of 2019 Elf ideas including every idea we have ever done.

When shopping for your Scout Elf, it’s important to know that the Original Elf on the Shelf comes with a book and box. Any sets sold just with dolls or colors other tan the white and red pattern we have come to know and love, are knock-offs. That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun Elf antics with an imposter or impersonator!

The Original Elf on the Shelf company sells a Elf on the Shelf Boy and Girl Doll Plushee Set. This is great for younger kids. Sometimes these stuffed-animal like elves sit easier on shelves too!

There are similar traditional Elf dolls on Amazon, like this Red and White Stripe Elf and this soft Plushee Elf on the shelf boy and girl Elf – isn’t he a cute Santa’s helper?! This year we even got a Baby Elf to go with our Elf on the Shelf.

Follow the star, just like DaySpring has done with their similar Christian holiday tradition. Their Christmas Tradition is The Shepherd On the Search. This set comes with a shepherd boy doll and book.

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

Batteries Not Included – Practical Battery Gift Tag for Christmas

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

July 5, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Batteries not Included. Download this free Battery Gift Tag and become a child’s superhero this Christmas season with this practical gift idea! Or encourage someone with well wishes of ENERGY through the holiday break.

Battery Gift Tag for Christmas

On Frugal Coupon Living, it’s the year of the practical gift. In year’s past, we shared with you our Fleece Navidad Blanket (that was a hit) and our M&M Mason Jar Poem. This year we brought you the Gift Wrap Printable and our latest one, a Battery Gift Tag. Both are found in our list of Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Neighbors.

Okay, so it seems like a silly gift but how many times has Christmas morning arrived and you lack a battery for a toy? I cannot tell you the numerous times this happened to us. I am lucky enough that I stock up on Amazon Basic Batteries with our monthly Subscribe & Save, so luckily we have a battery box I can always run too, but others might not be as organized as you when it comes to remaining on top of your Amazon Prime needs (wink!)

Battery Gift Tag

If you want to be a super hero this holiday season, gift batteries. The kids will thank you when they can enjoy their new toys on Christmas morning. You can gift this to neighbors, co-workers, friends, teachers and more! It can be a small part of a larger gift if you just feel silly handing over batteries. Maybe you gift it with a child’s toy too!

Battery Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this craft. I actually used curling ribbon I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Seriously my favorite part of wrapping a gift is sliding the blade of my scissors along the back of the curling ribbon and Voilà – there it is, an adorable curl!

You obviously need batteries. Like I said, we have a stockpile of Amazon Basic Batteries but they don’t gift as well (unless you wrap with gift wrap.) They come in a cardboard box which could make a pretty wrapped present. I picked up these batteries at my local grocery store – just a quick add to my shopping cart!

Battery Gift Tag Directions

I print my gift tags at Staples Copy Center, more on that below. We order our four gift tags for under $1! In your free download, are gift tags for those that celebrate Christmas and those that use more of a generic term like holidays… you can gift this for all!

Use ribbon you have on hand and tie your Battery Gift Tag to your batteries without wrapping or you can wrap in a small cardboard box ( the Amazon Basic Batteries will come in an easy to wrap box).

½ teaspoon nutmeg
Additional Materials:
Mason-style jars with lids

Wrapped Up Printable Wrapping Paper Gift

July 5, 2019 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Christmas, Crafts, DIY, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Looking for the most perfect, practical gift for the holiday season? Look no more as we have a free Wrapped Up Printable tag for a Wrapping Paper Gift idea for teachers, neighbors, co-workers and more!

Wrapped Up Printable Wrapping Paper Gift

I plan ahead. I normally like to know what I am going to buy before Black Friday hits. Well let’s tell the truth. I normally like to know months in advance… like six months, that’s not too embarrassing, right? So upon entering the Christmas season, I began to consider Gift Ideas for Our Neighbors. I wanted to do something practical. In other years, Id id some really cute gifts like the Fleece Navidad blankets and also the M&M Christmas Tags.

This year I wanted to do something practical, something they could use rather than sit on the self… along came the the idea of the Gift Wrap Tag. With this free printable you attach it to a roll of wrapping paper (or gift bags) and gift a roll of wrapping paper. Seems a little silly, but I would love if someone gave me gift wrap that was nice!.. especially if it was a double-sided Hallmark brand!

Wrapped Up Gift Tag Supplies

Not many supplies are needed for this gift. In fact, I was able to go into our gift closet and find these rolls of Christmas gift wrap. I had bought them in January after the Christmas season – might I add that is the best time to buy Christmas wrapping paper. My favorite rolls are the Hallmark rolls that are lined on the back ensuring a straight cut!

I used bows and curling ribbon I keep in my gift wrapping drawers. Seriously my favorite part of wrapping a gift is sliding the blade of my scissors along the back of the curling ribbon and Voilà – there it is, an adorable curl!

You will also need our free printable. I give the link to that printable below as well as how to order your printable online so it is printed in the store – save on ink and paper. We got our gift tags for under $1.
