The Elf on the Shelf collectables

The pack contains 24 Christmas-card-rate MyStamps, which feature delightful Elf on the Shelf graphics inside the star-shaped designs. The PNC includes the wreath and stocking 65c Christmas stamps, as well as a festive Christmas wreath coloured coin from The Perth Mint.

A limited-edition Elf on the Shelf PNC is also available through our Impressions range, while stocks last.
