You have to adopt an elf on the shelf if you want one to come to your house. You can purchase an elf on the shelf at major retailers like Target and Barnes and Noble. After you name your elf, that is when he gains his magic, and he will come back to your house each year at Christmas time.
You can get an elf on the shelf to come to your house by leaving out some treats for it. I cannot guarantee that it will be royalty. I hope that I helped answer your question! :) ;)

You can't "get" an elf snowflake for the Elf on the Shelf as it is a fictional character and item. The Elf on the Shelf tradition involves placing the elf in different spots around the house and telling children that the elf reports back to Santa about their behavior.

Your elf on the shelf will come back Thanksgiving night when everyone is asleep, however, if you are being bad, the elf still sees you in school, at home, and everywhere else you go when he has left your house on Christmas. If you do not believe in Santa, hen your elf will not come back. And remember, do not touch your elf, it will leave your house, I touched mine and it left, but then it came back 2 days later, I got another chance with him! :)
You can purchase an Elf on the Shelf kit, which includes a book and an elf doll. The tradition is that the elf arrives in your home around the holiday season to watch over the children and report back to Santa Claus each night. Simply read the book with your child to introduce the elf and its special role in your home.
The Elf can come back anytime of the year.
If your elf on the shelf does not move and you didn't touch it, you can simply explain to the children that sometimes the elf stays in the same spot to keep an eye on things. You can also come up with a creative reason for why the elf stayed put that day, such as needing to rest or having a busy night watching over the house. Remember, the magic of the elf on the shelf is in the fun and creativity you bring to the tradition!
The Elf on the Shelf traditionally moves around the house at night when everyone is asleep, typically between midnight and dawn. It's up to you to decide when you want to have fun moving the elf and creating surprises for your family.
