Free You’ve Been Elfed Printables (Christmas Gift Game)
These You’ve Been Elfed Christmas gift basket printables is one of the things we look forward to in the month of December! And we’ve got free printables and a list of You’ve Been Elfed box ideas for you to put together a small surprise for a Christmas gift game!
We copied this game after some other similar gift games here on this site or over on our sister site.
The You’ve Been Elfed Christmas gift basket game is simple: you choose a recipient, put together a small gift bag or box of books, snacks, games, and other goodies, and leave it on his/her doorstep anonymously. Along with the items, you include a note explaining the game. (This is where our cute printable You’ve Been Elfed gift basket printables below come in handy!)
It is up to the recipient to decide if he/she wants to pay it forward. And if so, they can reuse the printables – or you can print a second copy of printables for them to pass on to their recipient – to help the game continue on.
Presentation of a You’ve Been Elfed Gift Basket
These gifts do not need to be large. In fact, they probably should not be large. Just a small little surprise is all that is needed! We just use little red or green plastic baskets or bins from Dollar Tree or Dollar General. Also, you can simply bundle some things together and tie them together. No bin necessary.
What to Put In a Christmas Gift Basket for Families with Kids
If you are gifting this Christmas gift to a child or a family with children, you will want to include some kid-friendly items. Add some kid-friendly snacks: Christmas-themed lollipops, children’s holiday books, popcorn and movie-style boxes of candy for Christmas movie nights, etc. If you are in a baking mood, you can also add some homemade Christmas treats!
While we were packing our school Christmas party bags, we realized we had plenty of extra treats, so we saved some to put in some You’ve Been Elfed baskets for some neighborhood friends
See our gift ideas list included in the printables for a ton of ideas of what to add to your basket!
What to Put in a You’ve Been Elfed Gift for Adults
For adults, you can focus on toiletries such as holiday-flavored lip gloss, Christmas candles, Christmas home decor items, etc. You can also add sodas, packets of cocoa, your favorite holiday novels that you are ready to pass along, Christmas themed puzzles, etc.
We like to put in anything red and green!
Print Our Free Printables for Christmas Gift Baskets
Don’t forget to print your free You’ve Been Elfed printables for the holidays below. I’m attaching them in color or in a low-scale gray and white which can be printed in grayscale or in black-and-white (for those without the option to print in color). Our color printer is ALWAYS running out of color ink – despite us refilling the cartridges. Therefore, I just print my PDFs in grayscale.
