The Elves of 2013-2014


Here at our Santa Workshop, deep in Saki Naka, Andheri E, we are extremely proud of the Shopping and Foodie Elves that join our Secret Santa project to help spread joy and cheer all over in India (& now UAE).

How to be an Elf?
We are kind of done with elves this year as allocation emails have been sent and it wouldnt be worthwhile to join in this late. However, please join in next year. You can contact us via Twitter or Email.

How much does it cost to be an Elf?
Zero. This is the Christmas of giving.We dont charge any of the companies mentioned here a single Rupee. All we ask if they be generous and show a tiny bit of Christmas spirit.
