With the festive period fast approaching, Elf on the Shelf season is back!
It's a craze that has been integrated into many people's Christmas routines in the past few years, but it's not always easy to come up with ideas of where to put the elf.
The basis of the game is that the elf is Santa's helper who comes to check that children are being good in the run up to Christmas.
Parents put the elf in a different place every night to be found by the kids when they wake up in the morning.
Having gone viral in America and slowly seeping into UK culture, it can be difficult to come up with inventive places to place the elf every day.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
