Just like Thanksgiving Turkeynizer, Elf Ur Face is a fun, holiday-themed app that lets you spread some good cheer (and humor) to your friends and family. All you have to do is select a picture to use (either one you take with your camera or upload from your library), embellish it with elf stickers and decorations, add greetings, save it to your photo library, and share it on Facebook, Twitter, or e-mail. It’s the perfect app to help you stay connected and send warm thoughts to loved ones from near and far, or to simply make a fool out of yourself in the spirit of the season. Elf Ur Face promises lots of laughter, ample creativity, and of course, hoards of holiday spirit to spread all around.

Note: Elf Ur Face comes in a free, ad-based version, or in a $0.99 version that has no ads and comes with 10 stickers not available in the free app.

Even though the iPhone has been around for years now, the novelty has not worn off. It’s all you can do to keep people from playing with it or lustfully eyeing it. Well, if you’re concerned about someone taking their iPhone envy too far, Motion Alarm is a fun and useful app to invest in. It has motion-detection technology so that once a certain level of motion is reached, a customized alarm will sound (the app offers a wide variety of dog barks, traditional alarms, and explosion effects). There are many ways to control the alarm settings, and even darkening features so that the phone appears off even when it is not. Furthermore, there is GPS tracking so if you really are paranoid about your iPhone walking away without you, you will always know where to find it (note: this could also be practical if you have  tendency to lose things). Whether you’re trying to teach someone a lesson, deter thieves, play a harmless prank, or keep tabs on your phone’s whereabouts, Motion Alarm is one you should make moves towards.

If you have a smartphone, why rely on standard SMS? Pinch iMessenger takes texting to the next level. Not only will it save you on SMS-related fees (even internationally), but it also enables a previously unheard of experience: location-based texting. This means you can communicate with friends while finding out where they are and how to meet up with them, keep track of where you’ve been and how many places you’ve Pinched, all while earning the points and rewards associated with location-based technology (many people have earned iTunes credit and even iPads just by texting through the app!). Furthermore, the app includes hundreds of emoticons and animations to make the experience even more expressive and provides unlimited storage so you can keep your dialogues forever. While the app only works between Pinch users, it enables a whole new form of smartphone-to-smartphone communication; your friends don’t even need to have an iPhone for you to be able to Pinch them! Pinch iMessenger takes all the fun of texting to a more entertaining and rewarding realm.
