1. Water Cooler Catch-Up
Your elf’s making small talk—and they’re parched! Set up your elf next to the office water cooler with a mini tumbler or cup and a sign that says:
“Just here for the cooler gossip!” or “Can someone give me a refill?”

5. Team Meeting Hijinks
If your office has shared spaces or daily huddles, sneak your elf into the meeting room! Pose them “presenting” on a whiteboard with a mini pie chart or show them working on that naughty and nice list. Have fun adding your coworkers name.
6. Secret Elf Gift Exchange
Hosting a secret Santa? Have your elf deliver clues or mini notes to each participant in the days leading up to the big reveal.
7. Two Elves, Double Trouble
Got more than one elf in the office? Let them team up! Have one elf write a “report” while the other is goofing off in the breakroom. Or set them up in a prank war—one wrapped in tape, the other holding scissors.
