{"title":"Christmas - An Alternative Elf Tradition","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLove the idea of a Christmas elf tradition, but fancy something a little less ordinary and a lot more whimsical? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCurious Elves are original, vintage-inspired designs drawing on the old folklore of woodland spirits and household guardians. Each one has a personality of its own, and they’re made in small batches, so you won’t find them in every other house on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOur tradition focuses on gentle magic for the whole family. Leave out a little treat as a midwinter offering, notice the first frost, collect holly and pinecones together. These are for anyone starting a tradition for the first time or looking for a quirky alternative friend for the classic shelf elf, whichever you are you’ll find an elf here who’s up for cosy nature-inspired adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eChoose your favourite and order by \u003cstrong\u003e15th December\u003c\/strong\u003e for delivery before Christmas.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"christmas-or-yule-elf","title":"Alternative Christmas or Yule Elf","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Tis the season to meet our most merry seasonal sprites! 🎄\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by vintage mid-century knee-hugger elves (but designed and reimagined by me!), these little characters come dressed for the occasion in plush velvet - in a Classic Christmas red and green pairing, the other in a Yule-themed green and gold. Bell-trimmed hats and ruffled collars finish the look, and wired arms mean you can pose them however you like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can perch them on a shelf, tuck them onto a mantelpiece or... If you're the parent of small children*, perhaps our elves take on a little extra magic overnight and turn up in unusual spots around the house each morning? We won't say which shelf-based elf they might be taking notes from - but we'll leave that particular tradition up to you. Goodness knows there's enough life admin to manage already this time of year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox 36cm\/14ins from tip of hat to toe, or about 23cm\/9in high when posed seated.
