The Elf Project

How It Works

Three simple steps to make a child's Christmas special

📝

1. Sign Up

Register as an elf and tell us how many children you'd like to shop for. No email chaos — everything is right here.

🎁

2. Get Your List

In early November we assign you a wishlist. Log in anytime to see it — lists are always available here, no email required.

🚗

3. Drop Off Gifts

Shop for the child's wishes and drop off wrapped gifts before the deadline. Your dashboard shows all the key dates.

❓ What if I don't get an email?

You don't need email! Log in to this site anytime to see your assigned wishlist. All the information you need is here in your dashboard.

❓ What if I lose my list?

Your wishlist lives here permanently. Log in with the email you signed up with anytime and it will be waiting for you.

❓ How much should I spend?

There's no required amount. Do what you can — even one gift from a wishlist makes a child's holiday special. Every item matters.

❓ Where do I drop off gifts?

Drop-off location and times are shown in your dashboard after you sign in. Check there for the most current information.

❓ Are the lists anonymous?

Yes. Wishlists include only grade, age, gender, clothing/shoe sizes, and wish items — no names or identifying details.

❓ Can I sign up as a group?

Absolutely! When signing up, choose how many children you'd like to shop for and we'll assign that many lists to you.
