He’s just so darn cute!

This is the perfect Christmas gift for any knee-hugger or Krampus fan; or replace your naughty children’s “Elf on a Shelf” with a little extra incentive to behave this year with a “Krampus on a Shelf“!  After all, Krampus is known to give switches to the parents of naughty children to punish them with… and the really bad ones he takes away in a basket on his back to bring them to Hell where he throws them in hell fire for being truly rotten children (I am not making this up.  How about that for some behavioral incentive!)  Whatever your motives for owning a Krampus knee-hugger, just buy ‘em please!
