There’s elves on the loose at Hinkler Central, and we need your help to track them down!
Each week in the lead-up to Christmas, three sneaky elves will pop up in different store windows throughout the Centre.
Keep your eyes peeled as you shop — these cheeky helpers love to hide in the most unexpected places!
Find all nine elves over three weeks (3 each week), then submit your answers for the chance to WIN a $1,000 Hinkler Central Gift Card — the ultimate Christmas shopping spree.
To enter, simply locate each elf, jot down the store names where you found them, and email your answers using our entry template below.
It’s festive, it’s fun, and it’s the perfect Christmas activity for the whole family.
Happy hunting — and may the best elf spotter win!
