Move over, Elf on the Shelf! North Pole Gnomes are Santa’s newest helpers at the North Pole. Mischievous at times and managers of the naughty meter, these plush toys are the perfect Christmas tradition meant to be hugged for the holidays. At the end of the night, they sleep in your child’s Christmas stocking to report back to Santa. Each North Pole Gnomes kit includes a hardcover copy of the adorable children's book, The North Pole Gnomes. The story shares the magic and fun of these characters as they play tricks on Santa and the elves. A code to download and use the “naughty meter” on the app is included in the kit. North Pole Gnomes was created by North Pole Letters, the company that sends your kids (or pets!) real letters from the North Pole. The North Pole Gnome retails for $34.99 on www. amazon.com/.
