Christmas Magic: Elf Ideas

Christmas Magic is a planner for parents and carers who keep a Christmas elf visiting each December. It gives you an idea for every night, reminds you in the evening, and prints letters from the elf and from Father Christmas with your child's name and news.

IDEAS FOR EVERY NIGHT
• 169 original elf ideas, written for busy grown ups
• Sorted by effort (quick, easy or bigger), by mess and by the props you need
• Search and filter: "no props", "no mess", funny, kind, creative, cosy, cheeky or festive
• Arrival night, last day and goodbye ideas, plus a short note from the elf for each one

A PLAN FROM ARRIVAL TO CHRISTMAS EVE
• Pick the morning your elf arrives and the app fills every night up to Christmas Eve
• Easy school nights: quick, tidy ideas from Sunday to Thursday, bigger ones at weekends
• Swap or choose any night, and see a "get ready" list of what you need this week
• Forgot to move the elf? Ten morning rescue notes are ready to print

A NIGHTLY REMINDER
• One reminder each evening at the time you choose
• Secret mode shows only "Evening reminder", so little eyes cannot read the plan on the lock screen
• After 7pm the app dims to Candlelight, a calm midnight theme that never lights up the room

LETTERS TO PRINT
• Elf arrival letter and goodbye letter
• A reply from Father Christmas (or Santa, if that is what your family says) that mentions your child's name, age, something they did well, a kind thing they did and what they asked for
• A page of eight cut out elf notes for the week ahead
• Print on any home printer through Android's print screen, or save and share a PDF
• Optional: print little notes on a 58mm or 80mm Bluetooth receipt printer

MEMORIES AND THE COUNTDOWN
• Mark each night done and keep a photo and a line about how it went
• A countdown to Christmas Day in sleeps, with a small family activity behind each door, and no door opens early

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your phone: plans, names, letters and photos. There is no account, no sign in and no analytics, and the app sends nothing to us.

PRO, ONE PAYMENT
The free version includes 36 ideas, the planner, reminders, memories, the countdown, receipt printing and the classic letters. Christmas Magic Pro is a one-time unlock, not a subscription. It adds:
• The full idea library, all 169 nights
• All 7 letter designs, from North Pole Post to Gingerbread
• The Nice List certificate
• Letters for up to 8 children, each with their own details
• Write your own letter words
