    When my son was small he was into Hot Wheels cars. One Christmas I bought a Hot Wheels yo-yo, wrapped it, and hid it in the linen closet with all the other gifts. Christmas came, no yo-yo. Tore the closet apart, no yo-yo. Over the years we've cleaned out that closet, painted it, put in new shelving--many times taken out everything and put it back. Two years ago at Christmas I was looking for a Christmas table cloth, pulled it out and a small package dropped at my feet: The Hot Wheels yo-yo!!!! I think the house fairies were playing with it. Oh, BTW, my son is 40 and now the proud owner of a Hot Wheels yo-yo.

    I have a friendly spirit named Emily. She hides things and tugs the sheets at night.

    For Christmas I received "Stick n Find" Find Your Stuff Stickers. They are stickers to be put on anything that gets misplaced, (keys, phones, remotes) and are sound activated from Ipads, Iphones.

    A gift I will use a lot from a thoughtful daughter.

    Sigh ..I just have a cat who loves to move things .. OH wait I do have gremlins: rotten things they are. Move my stuff around and the cat puts it back**. Then all the sudden something that was lost appears on the cat scratching tower. Hmmm.. Wonder who is trying to frame who ? hmmm .. a mystery is afoot Watson ! <Grin>

    **Addendum to this post: Unless its my scissors, crochet hooks, paper, glue, and many other misc things that the cat doesn't put back ! LOL

    Oh yes. We call them "Brownies". They're mischievous little things but they don't mean harm, they're just curious and like to play with interesting little things!

    When I can't find something I just ask for it back. "Okay guys, can I have my car keys back, please??" Sometimes it helps to offer a neat trinket in exchange (like the earring that's the mate to the one they already have anyway).

    Silly, but it seems to work. Traditionally you're supposed to set out a saucer of cream for the local Brownies every now and then, but the cats and dogs would just drink it and poop everywhere so I don't do that and they seem to forgive me for it. I like to think they raid the bird feeders instead.

    I have a house fairy and when I start screaming like a banshee, she starts putting things back where I left them in the first place.
