The team behind the success of cheesy christmasjumper.co.uk launches elfbox.com to provide the UK's most comprehensive online shop for quirky and unusual gifts and gadgets - for Christmas and all the year round.

PRESS DISPENSARY - Tuesday, Aug 17, 2010 - If you're seeking quirky and unusual gifts and gadgets for your friends and loved ones this Christmas but are fed up with browsing endless retail websites to bag the best items, look no further than the newly launched Elfbox (http://www.elfbox.com ), a treasure trove of present possibilities from Santa's little helpers. On 10 August, 2010, the lid is lifting on this new fancy dress, gift and gadget site from the successful team behind Christmas Jumper (http://www.christmasjumper.co.uk ), the popular purveyor of cheesy festive pullovers and tank tops knitted by 'granny'.

After experiencing unprecedented success with the woolly-pullies of your dreams (or nightmares?), the intrepid Christmas Jumper team decided to expand the repertoire with the creation of Elfbox, which not only has the UK's largest collection of fancy dress outfits (all 6,000 of them!) but also offers the same crazy, wacky and exclusive gifts, gadgets and experiences that can be found on many retail websites, but it centralises them conveniently in one place. The ideal destination for all your Christmas shopping, as well as catering for the rest of the year too, Elfbox stocks products from around the world and has many exclusive items.

Unusual choices sourced by the Elfbox team, and that won't be found on any other gift site, include ethical didgeridoos imported from Bali, complete with instructions on 'how to play the didgeridoo'; a modern take on a cuckoo clock featuring several different animals such as the 'Moo-Cow' (it moos instead of cuckoos!); and handmade nostalgic watches constructed from original half-crown and sixpence coins. The site also offers a full range of life-sized cardboard celebrities to brighten up your Christmas party and provide a much-needed diversion when you're fed up with your relatives banging on about family business.

Those looking for a frugal Yule will find that Elfbox offers many recession-beating yet somehow irresistible presents to impress their special person. Gifts for her costing under GBP 20 include pampering sets such as Hot Rocks spa rocks, fun gifts such as the Chocolate Calculator, and stylish stuff including handy mirror-and-key gift sets to keep everything tidy on that festive night out. Meanwhile, various wigs from Flapper to glamour are ideal for sneaking into a Christmas soiree in a cunning disguise!

For a memorable Christmas surprise, he might like to discover a Beer Burglar Alarm or a Singing Elvis Bottle Opener in his stocking. And, speaking of stockings, Elfbox sells an enticing selection of ladies' leg-wear ranging from Bijou to sexy red and white festive stripes to vamp up Christmas Day.

For those who want to dress to impress at this year's seasonal events, festive fancy dress options range from the traditional to the saucy, the sublime and the humorous (we won't say ridiculous!). Elfbox stocks an extensive range of angels, Santas, Marys, shepherds, three kings, reindeer, snowmen, Christmas puddings as well as... you've guessed it... elves! There are also contemporary costumes such as Miss Saucy Santa and Miss Saucy Bah Humbug for a slight twist on the theme. Costume sizes range from baby to adult so the whole family can sport something suitably ironic and cheesy, without it costing more than the turkey and trimmings. Prices start at GBP 6.99 for a fetching Xmas Tree costume which - unlike the real thing - won't drop pine needles on your floor for you to find in summer.

Also in the Christmas section, shoppers can source decorations, such as hand carved wooden tree ornaments, a huge range of lighting, stockings, luxury hand-made baubles and as many crazy illuminated reindeer and inflatable Santas that you can fit in your garden!

Oh and you haven't escaped from that natty festive knit as Elfbox will be offering full range of Christmas jumpers from www.christmasjumper.co.uk .

Rafael Fernandez, co-founder of Elfbox and Christmas Jumper, says: "We've spent the last 12 months sourcing many, many items from around the world that offer our customers 'the same as other retail sites plus tonnes more'. We see ourselves as being an unrivalled gift/gadget/toy/experience/fancy dress online megastore - if you can say that in one breath!"

He adds: "Trying to choose a quirky, thoughtful and amusing gift can be a real strain - especially at Christmas time where people feel the pressure of the need to make a good choice... or any choice at all! Following in the same cheeky and cheesy vein as our successful Christmas Jumper site, Elfbox caters for all those thousands of people who want to introduce some much-needed dry humour to their present shopping while also bagging a bargain."

About Elfbox

Christmas Jumper launched in September 2008 to sell its cheeky range of seasonal garments which subsequently proved popular with everyone from members of the public to celebrities and TV producers. Showing that a natty jumper is for life, not just for Christmas, the company was soon experiencing downturn-defying levels of custom all year round. The success of Christmas Jumper led the proprietors to launch their new venture, Elfbox, to sell complementary gifts, gadgets and fancy dress outfits. The company is based in Oldham, Lancashire and is a family-run business.
