In past blog posts, I’ve described how the Elfery™ began, I’ve explored the lives of the “little people,” and I’ve talked about the products that we offer at Whimsmoore.com. It occurred to me today that I haven’t sufficiently told you how the Elf Toy of the Month got started and how valuable it can be for children and their families.
For those of you new to this blog, you need to know that the Elfery is a playhouse under the stairs where the elves come from their world into ours. My niece Rachel loved visiting my Elfery, but because she lived almost a thousand miles away, was rarely able to do so.
I loved sharing the Elfery and the imagination that came with it with her. Wanting to nurture our relationship, I created an Elf Toy of the Month. Sometimes I bought things that seemed elfish and other times I made the gifts myself. Each month for a year I sent them off on behalf of the elves.

And so was born the idea of the Elf Toy of the Month. In my next posts, I explain how it blossomed into its present form, what’s so special about each month’s package, and why it can be such a wonderful tool to help young and older family members connect.
