Read all about the magical, mixed-up world of 7 North Pole Elves – Marty, Lyra, Lily, J.D., Stan, Brain and Dave The Stitch all borrow Father Christmas' computer to write letters directly to your children full of secrets and snippets from the North Pole. For a sneaky peek at the stories they tell this Christmas 2023 …
Marty
... is a Christmas Elf who is always up to something (usually pranks or grabbing as many sweets as he can!), and he’ll do ANYTHING to avoid hard work. As usual, his latest invention – a GENIUS Gadget to make everything taste like candy – causes total chaos for everyone in the North Pole, including a serious lack of pyjama elastic!
Lyra
... is a super cool Elf and the North Pole’s computer whizz. After installing a brand new remote-control network of Night-Lights in Cranberry Cabin (as well as a “One-At-A-Time” Switch for safety), she designs a Special Sweet and Savoury Separating System to organise the North Pole Foodstores. She calls it the “Track All Snacks for a Terrific Yuletide”, or TASTY for short!
Lily
... is the most organised Elf in the North Pole. She makes sure the Elves get everything done in time for Christmas Eve. This year, her “Important List” includes instructions for the annual group photo for the Festive Christmas Card; many congratulations to the Elves who’ve been promoted to Assistant Reindeer Keeper, Sticky Situations Officer and Sparkle Captain; the recipe for an extra-powerful Magic Dust; and the rules for the next Snoring Competition.
J.D.
... is the North Pole’s Emergency Elf. She comes to the rescue whenever her Pocket Alarm-Tracker goes off (which is often!). This Christmas, she untangles Percy the mouse from Father Christmas’ beard (for the 896th time!), treats a headache by holding a warm Brussel sprout on an Elf’s ear for 15¾ minutes, and solves the problem of a worrying Magic Dust leakage … all with an Extra-Strong Christmas-tree-shaped Plaster and some Raspberry Ripple Elf-Reviving Remedy!
Stan
... is the Chief Miner in the Cinnamon Mine below Christmas Cabin. This year, he and his team of Mining Elves find themselves activating Operation Cinnamon Rescue – a rather scatterbrained Trainee Cinnamon Miner has gone missing along Passage #3 (for Scout Elves Only) and has been zapped into the Magical Gateway that leads to the human world! Thankfully Stan knows exactly what to do to save her.
Brain
... is asked to help with this year’s Christmas Cake. But, as usual, he gets in a terrible muddle and even thinks about adding dried Reindeer poop into the mix! Mother Christmas steps in to suggest he just helps with the decorating but the final result gets covered in crowns, Tarzan characters, a tatty old stocking and mini fire extinguishers! Luckily, everyone loves him so much, they always end up enjoying his interesting creations.
Dave The Stitch
... spends his days in Pine Needle Lodge, designing Father Christmas' brand new Christmas Eve uniform! Each year he also adds important extras to The Sleigh to make sure The Big Delivery goes as smoothly as possible. This Christmas, among other gadgets, he installs an Automatic Jingle-Bell polisher, a Reindeer Paarp Detector (with in-built face mask and fan), an Invisible Parking Badge (for busy areas where Father Christmas mustn't be seen) and a small pond (with frogs and a mini waterfall)!
For a story-based letter bundle, please see our multi-award winning, ORIGINAL Christmas Elf Letters - Magical Advent Calendar Series 2023 which includes all the above letters.
✨ *Only one North Pole News Series needed per family - include as many names as you can squeeze on, including your Elf if you have one. (Please note that they can't be signed from your Elf for very important Christmas Magic reasons!)
✨ Choose between a bundle of magical personalised envelopes, or lengths of soft cotton candy cane twine to roll your letters into mysterious scrolls
✨ Please ensure your package is addressed to an adult to keep everything Top Secret!
✨ Once you receive your order, keep all your magical letters safe until it’s time to deliver them on behalf of the Elves …
✨ Any day before the 1st December, deliver the Certificate and the Map (either flat or scrolled with the chunky cord)
✨ Then, on any day from the 30th November evening onwards, choose a letter to deliver, and hide it where your children will discover it the next day … by their toothbrush or in their shoes, on the door mat or in their school bag, or any other mysterious place!
✨ As these magical Elf letters are undated, they can be read and delivered in any order - either every day throughout the week before Christmas, or spread out through December to sprinkle The Magic right up to the Big Delivery on Christmas Eve!
✨ If your children write to the Elves hoping for a reply, you can deliver the Emergency letter from Mother Christmas with the next delivery
✨ A truly magical Christmas tradition and family keepsake.
✨ IMPORTANT NOTE: all the letters in this bundle are also included in our Elfie's Christmas Advent Calendar Letter Bundle
The perfect keepsake for 0-99 year olds!

Paula W. –
Order arrived quickly and they definitely don’t disappoint. My children love receiving them each year and look forward to the little brown envelopes. Both of my children are on the verge of not believing anymore but these letters help keep the Christmas magic alive. 100% recommend.

Children loved these colourful letters.
Melissa W. –
The letters, certificate and map are truly excellent quality! The stories are fabulous and really give that spirit of magic at Christmas. Our daughter loves receiving the letters. We’re really very pleased with these and would completely recommend them to all parents. The magic of Christmas, simply perfect!
Stephanie E. –
These delightful, funny and magical little letters have been popping up around our house during December for several years now and they are an essential part of the Christmas magic for my boys. They remember the elves from previous years and adore the stories each elf tells. A wonderful addition to our family’s traditions at this time of year and will continue to be for quite a few years to come.
Many thanks.
Rebecca –
An amazingly fun and exciting way to add some extra magic to those few weeks before Christmas! We can’t wait to hear from the Elves and find out what they’re getting up to as Christmas Day gets closer!
Ramona G. –
Amazing service. Letters arrive promptly and they are lovely, sweet and entertaining.
Marie Stephenson –
Lovely pack of letters with lots of new stories as always. My daughter associates most with ‘Elfie’, the name of the Elf who sent her first letter years ago. She will be a bit perturbed that there is no Elfie letter in the bundle this time . We’ll have to assume she’s been promoted .
Tanya –
Absolutely beautifully created. I first purchased letters last year when looking for something extra special that we could keep and look back on in years to come. My daughter’s face was unforgettable, just sheer joy and wonder. This year she was asking about the letters from the Elves, hoping she would be selected to receive some again. Well the Elves have delivered! So happy with the service and the delivery was prompt.

Gorgeous letters from the Elves, can’t wait for Christmas to leave them around for my Daughter to find and read, it will make Christmas more magical than usual.
Sarah –
Beautiful quality fun letters. I can’t wait for the children to receive them.
Tracy P. –
These letters are truly magical! Our 7 Yr old granddaughter had them last year & absolutely loved them….. As did I. She pored over the map & even loved how it felt “look Nanny, you can feel the magic”!!
It made the build up to Christmas even more exciting than usual. She has already wondered if she’ll be getting them again this year!

Unfortunately our letters haven’t arrived yet. We understand the post is unreliable at the moment, but lots of other letters and small parcels have made it in much less time. Fingers crossed they arrive in time for the 25th…

Jennie –
Awesome letters that have made Christmas a little more magical this year!
Samantha Leppard –
These are just magical, so impressed with everything from you.
Valerie –
As always a magical time when the letters arrive, from the teens to the tweens to the younger age kids, they all love the magic.
Thank you so much.
Kirsty T. –
Wow, the certificate was just magical, the elf on the shelf bought it to my daughter, who’s face was a picture! The letter are so much fun, and are talked about for days! The little stories are so fun, they spark imagination and the paper feels so special. There’s even a little note from Mrs clause for leaving a gift for the elf!
Anonymous –
Such wonderful letters, really add to the magical build up to Christmas! My children search high and low every morning for a letter, this is the second year we’ve had these letters. So much thought goes into each letter and illustration! Highly recommend!
Danielle R. –
Brilliant- only thing I would change is the option to sign off the letters in different elf names. Other then that these letters are fantastic. My kids have loved receiving them.
Elfie –
Thank you so much for your review – we really do appreciate it. The letters are actually from 8 different Elves in total. You can have you letters addressed to your children and your Elf, but not from your Elf … there are a few important Christmas magic related reasons why I don’t offer it!
One of the reasons is that … each Elf writes in its own style, with its own style of drawing – just like in a book. To have the letters all from the same Elf(ves) would be confusing.
Also – the signatures are done by hand, not computer generated, and are part of the artwork. To hand sign so many letters would be impossible, plus I would make a bungle and not get them consistent year after year, and the kids would get suspicious!
Also, children receiving the same letters as their friends or cousins but see they’re signed off from different Elves, would find that very suspicious! Many families have their letters addressed to their children and Elf too (if they have one). Children love that their Elf friends in the North Pole are writing to them too!
BUT, as you can add a few lines of text on the envelopes, you could say (from a friend of [your Elf’s name]) on the last line!
I hope that helps to explain – my letters aren’t like any others on the market and by focussing on high quality imaginative stories I hope we bring a little bit of magic to each and every child who opens one!

Great set, would suggest an even number and under 10s found the letters difficult to understand/read with all the deliberate errors. Would suggest the cert advise the kids to look for the letters around the house.
Elfie –
Hi – thank you so much for your review – would you mind sending me a photos of the deliberate errors that you’re referring to? We haven’t intentionally included any and I’m wondering if y=it might be a print issue.

Arrived quickly, well presented and beautifully made. Looks very authentic, daughter loved her first letter on December 1st, she’s very excited for the next one to arrive. Thank you x
Michele Johnson –
Absolutely wonderful. Arrived quickly and we’ll packaged. Adds extra magic to the run up to Christmas. Love it and would definitely order again.
Vicki –
Love the letters. They are so beautiful. Thank you so much x
Rebecca –
These letters are so magical! I can’t wait to give them to the children! I gave their certificate this morning and they were so giddy!
Natasha –
Lovely letters – a hit every time!

Amazing and more detailed review left on Instagram.
Jeni Davis –
I just received this years order -it looks as magical and beautiful as last years order.
Carol –
Quick delivery. Nice oldie worldie look of recycled paper. I haven’t read all the letters yet as they will be enjoyed together but the first one was good. I like the certificate idea – that they are nominated to receive the letters this year meaning it is a choice if it’s yearly or not and there won’t be disappointment if it doesn’t happen every year.
Jane Woollam –
Fabulous, love the illustrations. My only problem was that I would have liked to be able to receive the letters individually as I have 2 families of grandchildren and it was difficult to choose which letters went to which family. I especially liked Marty’s letter and would have liked 1 for each family.

My beautiful elf letters that have arrived from “International Elf Service”. I’m absolutely over the moon with them, there is so much detail in the illustrations, the quality is just perfect. You can really see how much love must go into them!
I’ve followed “International Elf Service” for a few years but really wanted to wait to order the letters until my children were a little bit older and could really appreciate them, and I decided this year was the year!
I ordered the “Christmas Elf Letters NEWS Bundle (7-Letters 2021)” and “Christmas Elf Letter For Christmas Eve 2021 “ and Ive also ordered the Father Christmas letter too!
FYI , the letters are printed on 100% recycled eco friendly paper , which is such a bonus!
Lucy –
My letters arrived today! They are awesome my children are going to love them. Thank you for helping to keep the magic alive ❤️
Natasha s –
Beautiful letters with updates from the Elves that kept my son entranced and added to the Christmas magic.
Tina –
Our elf letters arrived today! I can not explain how happy I am, they are amazing!!! The quality is superb and the stories are brilliant! My son is going to love it so much!
I can not thank you enough. One very happy mum x
Carol –
It’s just not Christmas without the International Elf Service!
Our daughter finds these letters every December from the Elves and is completely thrilled every single time.
She has slept with your covid letter under her pillow since March too.
Thank you, highly recommend x
Jacqueline Manning –
Brought these for my grandchildren aged 8 and 10 to bring a little Christmas magic into what has been a confusing year so far.
The letters are brilliant , I chose to colour in their certificate mainly to stop arguments over who could do it . Very impressed with the quality of the paper, contents and delivery service. Will recommend to friends and family
Liz –
I’ve just bought a whole load of letters – Christmas, tooth fairy, dummy fairy, such a wonderful idea and incredible messages for healthy growth and inspiration of young minds thank you
Helen Leak –
What I’ve received is lovely but I don’t call 7 letters daily for Advent when Advent is 24days long. My own fault for not reading the ‘what you receive’ but the description is very misleading I feel.
Elfie –
Hi Helen,
I’m so sorry you feel disappointed – I haven’t had this feedback before, so I do appreciate you contacting me. As you say, it does explain in the product description – the mini Advent bundle includes 7 personalised Elf letters (plus Certificate and Map), which you can either deliver daily for a week right up to Christmas Eve … or spread the magic out through December. Emily x
Clare –
Received our Candy Cane Letter Bundle. Love the letters! Can’t wait to leave them out for my boys this December. Our elf is called Elfie, so think they will enjoy getting a letter from him.
Meriel –
The bundle of letters arrived yesterday, my kids will love them. They are really great quality, glad I decided to get them!
Helen –
Fabulous! The kids love getting the letters and it will hopefully prolong the magic of Christmas in our house for at least a few more years.
Rosslyn Edwards –
These are so lovely, I bought them for my 7 year old granddaughter, she already has an elf, but getting all these letters from other elves is making it so much more magical. She cannot wait to show me them when I see her.
Claudia –
I would like to thank you for making Christmas even more magical in our home! I bought the advent calendar letters for my daughter last year. She loved finding her letters every morning and read each of them over and over again. Despite all her excitement with them, I had decided that it was enough to do it once and I wouldn’t buy them again. I thought that she would probably forget them anyway. Then first of December arrived and the elf letters was all she would talk about. I explained to her that the elves were very busy and couldn’t write to every child every year, so they probably picked different children this year. She was disappointed, but accepted it. Then a few days later, I heard laughter when she was supposed to be in bed sleeping. I went up to find her reading all her elf letters, which she had kept neatly in their envelopes and stored in a box. This was when I decided to buy a mini bundle. The letters arrived quickly and I put out the congratulations letter and map first. When she found them she ran around the house squealing and laughing in excitement, and straight away prepared letters and little gifts to all the elves that had writen to her last year, and to Mother and Father Christmas (those Mother Christmas letters are indeed an essential part of the kit). I still had more days than letters to Christmas eve, so I put then out on random days, which made it even more exciting for her when she found one. Her only disappointment was that there was no letter from Elfie, who she considers to be her personal elf friend (a suggestion for next year?). Next Christmas my daughter will be 8 years old, but as long as she believes, she will get elf letters! I wish you success for 2019 and thanks again!
Anne-Marie –
I got the smaller bundle of elf letters for my 2 boys (aged 5&6) at Christmas, they loved finding them every few days either in their bedroom or through the letterbox.. The excitement of random letters coming to them really added to our Christmas preparation…..and reminded them that the elves were around watching them too! I’m looking forward to getting them again for Christmas this year.
Yana Kennedy –
My grandchildren loved these letters and it added such a sense of anticipation in the run up to Christmas.
Definitely ordering more next year! Thank you for such a wonderful and well executed idea. Merry Christmas x
Joanna –
Absolutely beautiful! Magical tales, extremely luxurious paper… they’re just so authentically North-Poley!! Love them and my boys do too 😀 xx

Received the mini letters last week.
Very speedy delivery.
My children are 7.5 and 9 and they love these letters. They are well written and beautifully illustrated. They certainly add an extra bit of magic to our Christmas!
Carly –
These are a great way to enhance the magic of Christmas and it’s unique too. My daughter is 9 and enjoys finding the letters. We went to Lapland when she was 5 and use the map to talk about the memories we made there. Love the recycled paper and the elves’ sketches and splodges! They look totally authentic. I have read that the letters are different each year too. Well done International Elf Service!
