Perhaps there is no better way to combine getting all bundled up in a festive sweater, coming together with family and friends, and spreading some holiday cheer than with a seasonal, novelty knit from Tipsy Elves.
The holiday company specializes in crafting deliberately ugly Christmas sweaters (that are actually more hip than they are ugly) that play it up for laughs and put even the most cynical Scrooges in the best of sprits.
Sexy elves and Santa designs return with slim, modern fits that will definitely have everyone’s eyes on you at the staff Christmas party this year. There are also plenty of new designs from which to choose. A Santa peeing a season’s greeting in the snow or a Fair Isle pullover with a pattern of reindeer getting intimate are good choices for upping the shock value at a holiday brunch. Tipsy Elves even has some updated re-editions of past, classic designs from the label.
But these so-called ugly Christmas sweaters are more than just in good fun, they also celebrate what the holidays are truly about … the spirit of giving. That’s because, according to the site, with the purchase of any Tipsy Elves sweater, the retailer will give back a new sweater and additional apparel to help keep children in need stay warm throughout the winter.
