An elf-sized toilet. With its own NEWSPAPER.
That is where we are with Elf on the Shelf accessories, and I need you to look at it with me.
You can get official Elf on the Shelf outfits and prop kits, plus third-party miniature furniture, sports sets, and scene accessories on Amazon. I picked 35 distinct finds, from a 24-day scene kit to a pink cat-ear beanbag chair, because apparently the tiny seasonal employee now needs a wardrobe, a vehicle, and somewhere to put his feet up.
The ones I like most either give you a whole scene or make posing the elf easier. If it takes longer to set up than decorating the actual house, I have questions.

Before you shop: Most of these listings are for accessories; the Scout Elf doll is separate. Official Scout Elf sets and third-party props are labeled below. For third-party pieces, check the doll measurements and age guidance. Miniature props can contain small parts and belong out of reach of young children. These are shopping picks from product details and photos, rather than toys I’ve tested at home. Prices, sellers, and availability can change.

Kits and scene helpers for the nightly assignment
1. 24-Day Ultimate Daily Scene Kit: The kit for outsourcing the idea part
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
70-plus props, 24 idea cards, backdrops, a reversible tree, and a table give you a starting point for the whole run. This is where I would start if the hard part is thinking of something new every night.
A box of tiny props cannot put itself on the counter. But at least the box has a PLAN.
See the 24-Day Ultimate Daily Scene Kit on Amazon
2. Official Elf Ideas Fun & Games Kit: A whole game room, elf-sized
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This official kit has more than 80 props and games, a multi-game table, a 24-day planning calendar, and MagiFreez standing pants. Pick this one if miniature games sound more fun than another night of climbing the curtains.
The elf gets recreational facilities. You get instructions. Seems fair.
See the Official Elf Ideas Fun & Games Kit on Amazon
3. Scout Elves at Play Tools & Tips Kit: Tools for people who like making up their own scenes
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The 60-page guide pairs more than 100 ideas with 15 elf tools. It is a different proposition from the daily-scene boxes: more inspiration and reusable equipment, less following one calendar.
Good for the person who looks at a prop and immediately thinks, “Wait. I could make this weirder.”
See the Scout Elves at Play Tools & Tips Kit on Amazon
4. Official Scout Elf Carrier: A carrier for the tiny travel companion
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This clear carrier is designed to transport a Scout Elf while keeping hands off the doll, in keeping with the tradition. If the elf is coming on a trip, a proper case makes more sense to me than letting him vanish into a tote.
He has luggage now. Of course he does.
See the Official Scout Elf Carrier on Amazon
5. Magical Elf Door Kit: A front door for someone who does not pay rent
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The set includes a door frame, a North Pole scene, and four interchangeable doors. Use it for the elf’s arrival, a little doorstep scene, or a new backdrop later in the month.
I like a prop you can use more than once. Especially when the tenant contributes nothing to the mortgage.
See the Magical Elf Door Kit on Amazon
6. Toasty Roasty Campfire Set: The elf can dress as toast. TOAST.
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This official set comes with a toast costume, miniature campfire, plastic marshmallow on a roasting stick, and a folding sign. The marshmallow is a prop, so this can be a pretend campout without actual food.
The toast outfit is the part that gets me. We could have stopped at a campfire. We did not.
See the Toasty Roasty Campfire Set on Amazon
7. Totally Tubular Snow Tube Set: A snow day without actual snow
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
An inflatable elf snow tube, fleecy earmuffs, and a long scarf make up this three-piece set. Put the scene on a flat surface with a snowy-looking backdrop; the living room does not need a functioning ski slope.
This is a solid winter scene for anyone who has looked outside and found absolutely no winter.
See the Totally Tubular Snow Tube Set on Amazon
The funny little scenes I need you to see
8. Outus Mini Toilet & Newspaper Set: Yes, there is an elf toilet
Third-party accessory
Pajamas, a miniature toilet, newspaper, toilet-paper roll, and a display card give you a ready-made bathroom joke. Keep it on a dry, clean display surface.
He is reading the newspaper. On his little toilet. This is the point where I need you to understand how hard I am trying to be a serious person.
See the Outus Mini Toilet & Newspaper Set on Amazon
9. Striped Hot-Air Balloon Prop: An entrance with a little drama
Third-party accessory
The listing describes an inflatable red-and-white striped hot-air balloon prop. Plan where it will hang before you inflate it, and follow the supplied mounting directions.
For the elf who feels that merely appearing on a shelf is beneath him.
See the Striped Hot-Air Balloon Prop on Amazon
10. E-TING Inflatable Airplane Prop: The elf has booked a flight
Third-party accessory
This E-TING listing is the inflatable airplane-shaped prop. It is a playful travel-scene alternative to a balloon, and it can be deflated for storage.
His carbon footprint is probably fine. His need to make an entrance is another matter.
See the E-TING Inflatable Airplane Prop on Amazon
11. Outus Fishing Accessories: Gone fishing. Please direct questions to Santa.
Third-party accessory
The listing shows fishing-scene pieces including a rod, vest, net, fish, and sign. Use blue paper or fabric for pretend water, then let the elf take a quiet morning off.
Honestly, an elf taking a quiet fishing break might be the most relatable one on this list.
See the Outus Fishing Accessories on Amazon
12. Mini Baking Props & Aprons: A baking scene without the flour explosion
Third-party accessory
The listing includes miniature hats, aprons, and baking props such as a rolling pin, bowl, and trays. The little food items are props. Set the scene beside a real cookie if you want to, without turning the counter into a cleanup assignment.
The elf can LOOK busy baking. Nobody needs to sift flour across the entire kitchen to prove it.
See the Mini Baking Props & Aprons on Amazon
13. Carpenter Apron & Tools Set: Put the elf to work
Third-party accessory
This third-party listing is for a carpenter-style green apron and miniature tool props. Make a pretend repair scene with building blocks or a toy workbench you already own.
The elf has been in the house for weeks. It is reasonable to ask him to fix something.
See the Carpenter Apron & Tools Set on Amazon
14. Pirate Adventure & Inflatable Ship Set: A pirate ship. In December. Naturally.
Third-party accessory
The pirate scene set includes an inflatable ship, hat, treasure chest, and toy sword. This is the big visual pick if you want the reveal to look like an entirely different adventure.
Put a few wrapped candies near the treasure chest and suddenly the elf has a questionable new career.
See the Pirate Adventure & Inflatable Ship Set on Amazon
15. Soccer Scene Outfit Set: A soccer morning for the sports kid
Third-party accessory
This is the soccer-themed elf outfit and scene-accessory listing. Stage a little game with existing toys as the crowd.
The stuffed animals can fill the stands. No one needs to drive them to practice.
See the Soccer Scene Outfit Set on Amazon
16. Basketball Clothes & Scene Kit: The elf made the basketball roster
Third-party accessory
This third-party set is themed around basketball clothing and scene props. It is the sports swap I would choose for a kid who immediately spots a basketball anywhere in the room.
Keep the setup at elf height. We do not need an actual slam dunk off the kitchen cabinets.
See the Basketball Clothes & Scene Kit on Amazon
17. Baseball Outfit & Props: A tiny baseball scene
Third-party accessory
The listing specifies baseball-themed clothing and props for a 12-inch elf display. A row of existing toys can be the team waiting in the dugout.
A paper scoreboard would finish this nicely. The elf is already keeping track of enough things; one more seems manageable.
See the Baseball Outfit & Props on Amazon
18. Gingerbread Elf Hammock: A hammock, because apparently he is exhausted
Third-party accessory
The gingerbread-patterned hammock is listed with metal clasps and green hooks for a lightweight display. Its listed dimensions are about 15.7 by 5.1 inches, so measure your chosen spot first.
He has been sitting down for most of the month. Somehow, he still needs a lie-down.
See the Gingerbread Elf Hammock on Amazon
19. iLAND Mini Beanbag Chair & Footstool: The elf has his own pink cat-ear chair
Third-party accessory
This miniature furniture set includes a pink furry cat-ear chair and matching footstool, sized for 10- to 12-inch dolls. The footstool can also serve as a back pillow.
The elf has a coordinated lounge set. Meanwhile, we are the ones doing the work.
See the iLAND Mini Beanbag Chair & Footstool on Amazon
Outfits for an elf with a very full social calendar
20. Marvel Spider-Man Web Hero Hoodie: For the elf who insists on climbing things
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The Spider-Man hoodie comes with two snowflake-shaped suction cups intended for smooth glass, such as windows and mirrors. That makes it more useful for posing than a costume alone.
Use the surfaces the listing specifies. The elf can have superhero ambitions without taking the paint off your wall.
See the Marvel Spider-Man Web Hero Hoodie on Amazon
21. Marvel Spider-Man Superfan Prop Set: A bigger Spider-Man scene
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This set adds a Spider-Man T-shirt, play mask, suction-cup setup with a candy cane cable and web, plus a window cling. It is the more elaborate scene choice compared with the hoodie above.
A candy cane cable is such an unnecessarily festive solution to superhero transportation. I respect the commitment.
See the Marvel Spider-Man Superfan Prop Set on Amazon
22. Marvel Spider-Man Saves the Day Sleep Set: Even superheroes need pajamas
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
Two-piece Spider-Man pajamas, a sleeping bag, bookbag, laptop, and camera give you an entire off-duty scene. This is my pick for spreading a character theme across several nights instead of buying a costume for one reveal.
One morning he is saving Christmas. The next he is in a sleeping bag with a laptop. Range.
See the Marvel Spider-Man Saves the Day Sleep Set on Amazon
23. Disney Frozen Olaf Warm Hugs Hoodie: Olaf. But make him an elf.
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This is the Olaf character hoodie for a Scout Elf. It is an easy wardrobe swap for a Frozen fan, especially if you already have a winter scene or snowman backdrop.
An elf dressed as a snowman is exactly the kind of tiny nonsense I came here for.
See the Disney Frozen Olaf Warm Hugs Hoodie on Amazon
24. Disney Mickey Mouse Ready to Roll Travel Set: The little Mickey suitcase is doing a lot of work
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The official travel set includes a rolling suitcase, mouse-ear headband, neck pillow, belt bag, and miniature passport. Set up an imaginary airport or a packed-and-ready departure.
A neck pillow AND a belt bag? This elf has watched exactly one travel-influencer video and will now be boarding first.
See the Disney Mickey Mouse Ready to Roll Travel Set on Amazon
25. Harry Potter Hogwarts School Uniform Set: Apparently the elf got into Hogwarts
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
A cloak, sweater, wand, four house scarves, and four house crests let you change the house look. This is the stronger wizarding pick if you want a recognizable costume and options to reuse.
There are four scarves. We can postpone the household argument about sorting for at least a minute.
See the Harry Potter Hogwarts School Uniform Set on Amazon
26. Harry Potter Gryffindor Pajama Set: Gryffindor pajamas with a tiny teddy bear
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The set pairs Gryffindor pajamas with a teddy bear sized for the elf. It makes an obvious bedtime or pretend late-night-reading scene without needing the full school-uniform setup.
A tiny teddy bear for the tiny elf. This is getting out of hand, and yet here I am, looking directly at it.
See the Harry Potter Gryffindor Pajama Set on Amazon
27. Disney Princess 2-in-1 Get Ready Dress Set: A princess transformation with standing gear
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This set includes a MagiFreez standing skirt, princess party dress, tiara, and miniature dressing mirror. The standing component is the practical reason to choose it when you want an upright scene on a flat surface.
The tiara is the emotional reason. Let us be honest about both.
See the Disney Princess 2-in-1 Get Ready Dress Set on Amazon
28. Disney Princess Royal Slumber Party Set: A sleepover for a two-elf household
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
Two pajama sets, a sleeping bag, pillow, sleep mask, and cuddle buddy make this especially useful if you stage two Scout Elves. The dolls are separate.
Two sets of pajamas is a much better detail than discovering one elf gets the cute outfit and the other has to watch.
See the Disney Princess Royal Slumber Party Set on Amazon
29. MagiFreez Dashing Dino Outfit: A dinosaur hoodie that comes with standing pants
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The dinosaur-themed hoodie comes with customizable MagiFreez standing pants and a sticker sheet. The pants are designed to help a Scout Elf stand on a flat surface.
Cute costume. Actual posing help. This is the kind of multitasking I would like from everyone involved in December.
See the MagiFreez Dashing Dino Outfit on Amazon
30. Jolly Jersey Custom Kit: Football gear you can customize
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The kit includes a jersey, elf-sized football, helmet, and sticker sheets with colors, letters, and numbers. Make a game-day scene that resembles your household’s team instead of accepting whatever jersey comes in the box.
The elf can have a football opinion. Just keep him away from the family group chat.
See the Jolly Jersey Custom Kit on Amazon
31. Sleighing as Santa Party Dress: A tiny red velvet party dress
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
This Santa-inspired Scout Elf dress has white faux-fur trim. Choose it for a straightforward festive outfit swap rather than a whole prop-heavy scene.
Not every morning needs a new set and a plot twist. Sometimes the elf just has somewhere to be.
See the Sleighing as Santa Party Dress on Amazon
32. Snowflake Skirt & Scarf: The classic winter outfit
Official The Elf on the Shelf accessory
The Claus Couture set combines a snowflake-patterned fleece skirt with a red polka-dot scarf. It is the traditional red-and-white choice if the character costumes are not your thing.
Simple. Festive. No miniature airport required.
See the Snowflake Skirt & Scarf on Amazon
33. JOYIN Ugly Sweater Outfit Set: The elf has been invited to an ugly-sweater party
Third-party accessory
JOYIN’s four-piece doll-clothing set uses red, green, Santa, and snowman designs. It is the third-party wardrobe pick for an elf-sized ugly-sweater party.
A party scene with existing toys would work here. Somebody has to tell the teddy bear the dress code.
See the JOYIN Ugly Sweater Outfit Set on Amazon
34. E-TING Pink Mermaid Dress: A mermaid tail for the shelf situation
Third-party accessory
This listing is for one pink plush mermaid dress for an elf doll. Place the scene beside a pretend pool or a blue-paper ocean, keeping the doll and fabric dry.
We started with Christmas. We have somehow arrived at an underwater wardrobe. I am listening.
See the E-TING Pink Mermaid Dress on Amazon
35. Get Along Shirt: The tiny get-along shirt is extremely funny
Third-party accessory
This third-party shirt is advertised for most standard-sized elf dolls. It is a scene idea for a household with two elves.
Even the elves are having a sibling moment. Everybody in this house apparently needs a meeting.
See the Get Along Shirt on Amazon
Buy the scene you’ll actually use
If you want the most help with planning, start with one of the idea kits. If you already have a stash of props, one character outfit or a funny little scene might be plenty. You do not need all 35. Please do not give the elf a larger budget than the people.
For more ideas, TTB has easy, low-cost Elf on the Shelf setups, the official arrival and departure dates, and more tiny elf outfits. The brand also keeps its official props and clothes collection online.
I’m still stuck on the toilet with the newspaper.
He has a bathroom break. We have a nightly deadline.
