Here at Tipsy Elves, we pride ourselves on being different.  Which brings us to the question...how exactly are we different? Tipsy Elves Christmas Sweaters are some of the most unique Christmas sweaters on the planet. Each Christmas sweater is designed in house by the Tipsy Elves design-team.  Also, a design can only be posted for sale on the Tipsy Elves website if it passes a majority vote by an impartial panel of elves. Eggnog is served at all panel meetings to slightly impair the judgment of our little elven helpers. Last year, Pipsy the Elf suffered from alcohol poisoning and was rushed to the hospital.  He went through a rigorous 4-month alcohol detox program, and is no longer invited to panel meetings.

Tipsy Elves Christmas sweaters bring life back to the once thriving Christmas sweater tradition. Tipsy Elves has established itself as the number one Christmas sweater company in the world, and during the holidays, Tipsy Elves sweaters can be seen on talk shows, at ugly Christmas sweater parties, and under the Christmas tree. They also make for great winter threads that can be worn on the ski slopes or at the local pub on a cold winder day. We have sold sweaters to over 20 countries and are receiving positive feedback from all over the world.

The quality of Tipsy Elves sweaters is unparalleled. Reading any of our reviews on Amazon.com will reinforce this. Our sweaters are made with double thickness 100% premium acrylic fabric and each sweater undergoes a quality control process before it is made available to our lovely customers. The sweaters are packaged in thick branded plastic zip polybags.  

Lastly, Tipsy Elves gives back. With our Sweaters 4 Sweaters program, a portion of the proceeds from each sweater order goes towards donating brand new sweaters to children in need and the organizations that serve them. Last year, we donated thousands of dollars worth of Christmas sweaters to a San Francisco based organization. We also have a "$1 for 1 Like" program where we will donate $1 of kid-friendly merchandise for each Like we get on our Facebook page.

So that, my friends, is why we are different.  Now go get tipsy!

Several of our loyal fans have commented that perhaps our humping reindeer sweaters such as the Reindeer Menage A Trois Christmas Sweater or our Reindeer Double Date Ski Cardigan are featuring packs of male-only reindeer.  Could these sweaters really be depicting no-girl-allowed “reindeer games” or is it possible that these sweaters are also including some females in the fun?  Only male reindeer like our boy Bucktooth Rudolph grow antlers, right?  Wrong!

Let it be known that in fact, it is very common for female reindeer to grow antlers.  Reindeer and caribou are the only deer species, or Cervidae (yes, we are getting scientific), where both the males and females produce antlers.  Even the baby calves grow themselves a sweet set of head-spikes.  Sometimes, the horns on the female antlers are slightly smaller in comparison to their male counterparts. And just like the male reindeer, females also shed their antlers.  The shedding process happens later in the year for females and calves than it does for the big bad males.

So there you have it. Your mind has been boggled. Tune in next time when Tipsy Elves investigates whether Rudolph was actually a female crossdresser.  

It’s that time of year again.  What time you might ask?  Ugly Christmas sweater time.  The holiday season is fast approaching, and it is time to start planning for Ugly Christmas sweater parties as well as National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day on Friday, December 21, 2012.

Tipsy Elves is making it that much easier for its Facebook fans to snag their favorite ugly Christmas sweater through its Sweater-A-Day Giveaway campaign.  The Sweater-A-Day Giveaway is simple. Facebook fans can click on the Sweater Giveaway tab on Tipsy Elves’ Facebook page or can click here.  Fill out the quick form and click submit.  Tipsy Elves will then select a winner at random each day and announce this winner on Facebook.   The winner will also be able to select their favorite style and size, assuming it is still in stock.   Check it out and enter for your chance to win a Tipsy Elves Christmas sweater.

We take great pride in our Tipsy Elves Christmas sweater designs.  In fact, our elves are kept in windowless factories all season and forced to come up with designs for the following year.  Elves with poor design skills are sent to Santa’s elf encampments where they are forced to wrap presents for twenty hours a day…hard work for an uncreative elf. 

To aid in our design initiative, we have called on our loyal Tipsy Elves fans to participate in the design on our 2013 Christmas sweaters as part of our Christmas Sweater Design-A-Thon.  From now until December 15, 2012, we will be accepting designs from our faithful fans.  Designs can be in the form of sketches, depictions, or some other form of art that can be emailed to contest@tispyelves.com.   

Our Tipsy Elves staff will select our favorite designs on December 15, 2012 and will post these designs on our Tipsy Elves Facebook page for our Facebook fans to vote on.  The designer that receives the most votes by Christmas will be rewarded $200 cash as well as a free Tipsy Elves Christmas sweater.  Also, don't forget to check out our other contests, like our Sweater-A-Day Giveaway.  Now it's officially time to bust out your Crayolas and start drawing!
