harsh vessel
This tradition has become quite popular in Europe, but my wife was getting stressed out every evening trying to figure out what to do put in place for our kids for the next morning. She's not the only one.
I have been working on this project since end of November (minus one week in Vegas), now it's finally getting there. With only one day left for 2025 Christmas it is ready to rock for 2026, with updated LLMs and even more creative content.
Language support: English, Spanish and Norwegian.
Fully serverless, frontend hosted on Amplify with Cloudfront on top, orchestrated with AWS Step Functions and Amazon Bedrock Agent + Knowledge Base (S3 Vector). Ideas are generated with Claude Sonnet 4.5, images with Amazon Nova Canvas and video clips with Amazon Nova Reel. Data stored in S3 and DynamoDB. Family friendly content is assured with Bedrock Guardrails.
The challenge
*As a parent, you feel expectations for creating magical Christmas elf surprises for your kids, but coming up with fresh, creative ideas every day can be challenging. You might not know where to look for inspiration, what's age-appropriate for your children, or how to work with the materials and spaces you have available at home. You end up spending long evenings scrolling through Instagram and searching through groups on Facebook.
That's where we come in. Naughty Elf Ideas is an independent platform designed to solve this exact problem. We provide AI-powered idea generation and a curated collection of family-friendly activities tailored to your kids' age, the rooms in your home, and the materials you have on hand.
Our mission is to support parents in creating memorable experiences for their children by offering fresh, creative ideas that are easy to implement with common household items—so you can focus on the magic, not the planning.*
