The Cheeriest Finds From the New 'Elf' Collection at Pottery Barn
These fun finds from Pottery Barn pay homage to everyone's favorite Christmas movie, Elf, on its 20th anniversary.
Everyone has their favorite holiday movies that they want to play on repeat once November 1st hits, but one of the most universally beloved has to be Elf. It tells the story of Buddy the Elf — a human that accidentally ended up in the North Pole when he was a baby, just to be raised by elves — as he travels to New York City to find his father. It's as heartwarming as it is funny and as enjoyable for kids to watch as it is for adults. After all, there are so many great moments, like his very quick tenure as a mailroom sorter, an infamous dinner of spaghetti and maple syrup and his first date by the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. It's easy to watch again and again!
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film (yes, that will make some of us feel a little old — me included), Pottery Barn, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, has released a collection paying homage to the movie. There's a fun Buddy the Elf pillow, beautiful stoneware plates and bowls, monogrammed stockings and even bed linens. The detailing is so fun and will be sure to get your guests quoting their favorite lines from the film, which will inevitably lead to your fifth rewatch this season alone. Of course, that's the best part of the holiday season: spending time with those you love and spreading Christmas Cheer wherever you go.
This might be the cutest item in the collection, and it's sure to be a centerpiece on a bed or a couch. After all, it's a pillow that looks just like your favorite elf in the North Pole! The teddy faux fur is made of incredibly rich yarn-dyed fiber that won't fade no matter how many hugs and cuddles it gets by the people in your household. And, of course, it's sure to spread some serious Christmas Cheer.
If making your own advent calendar sounds like a fun holiday tradition to you, try it out with this gorgeous, reusable option that features 55 LED lights. Each door is designed with fun, Elf-themed pictures and the whole image itself tells a story: Follow it as it travels through the Candy Cane Forest, past the Sea of Swirly Twirly Gumdrops, and right through the Lincoln Tunnel. Fill it with fun trinkets and candy, and it'll soon be a tradition your family will look forward to every year.
These glass and resin ornaments are such fun homages to the movie Elf, but look elegant and classic on a Christmas tree, too. There are four in the pack, including some friends from the North Pole (Leon the Snowman and Mr. Narwhal seen at the beginning of the film), a plate of delicious spaghetti with maple syrup and a glass ball that looks just like Buddy the Elf's costume.
This velvet, 100% cotton stocking has such nice detailing — the top has a gold embroidered design and Buddy's signature belt buckle, and the bottom shapes into a point just like his shoes. It's the perfect gift for the Elf fanatic, and for $15 more you can even get it monogrammed.
This collage of all the best moments in Elf makes such a fun pillow for Christmas: You'll never get tired of spotting new favorites, like the cab going through the Lincoln Tunnel or Buddy's favorite furry friends (raccoons, of course) in the city. It's digitally printed but has some embroidered candy canes on it for added detail, and you can buy the cover alone or the cover and the insert.
Whether you're leaving cookies out for Santa ("I know him!") or having some friends over for one of the four main food groups for elves (candy, of course), this set of four glazed stoneware plates will be a perfect addition to your holiday tableware. The details on this are so fun: It's dotted with peppermint swirls, peppermint sticks and a big maple syrup bottle.

The holiday experts at HGTV.com share easy instructions on how to make an oversized cross-stitch sign using pegboard and yarn.
This bright red doormat features one of the more recognizable "insults" of Buddy the Elf — "cotton-headed ninny-muggins" — but we promise that won't deter friendly guests. It's also dotted with snowflakes and features Buddy the Elf's hat. It's good to use indoors or outdoors, and it won't fade over time, either.
These slippers would make the perfect Secret Santa or White Elephant gift: They're soft, they're cozy and they look just like Buddy the Elf's signature outfit. They come in three sizes and the detailing is just so adorable, especially the little yarn Christmas hat near the top.
This stoneware bowl will have so many uses during the holiday season: Put Christmas cookies out for a gathering, keep candy ready for any elves who stop by, or even use it as a punch bowl. It features a hand-painted gold buckle, and the pointy shoes at the bottom are the cutest touch.
Turn a regular hostess gift into one they won't soon forget with this adorable knit beverage jacket. There's Buddy the Elf's hat with its signature feather for the top, and his full jacket (complete with faux fur collar) for the body. So cute.
These Elf-themed sheets are perfect for a guest room, although we wouldn't blame you for wanting them for every bed in the house, too. They're dotted with so many different images from the movie, like Buddy himself, Santa's Sleigh and a sign for the World's Best Coffee. The sheets themselves are luxurious; they're 100% percale cotton and come with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. It's available in five sizes, too.
This sweet apron has a peppermint trim and lists out the four food groups for elves (candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup for those keeping track). It's great for gifting, either to a hostess or as a Secret Santa gift, and it's also made from 100% cotton.
