Send a letter from Santa to a child

Opening the mailbox to find an envelope with their name on it, all the way from the North Pole: for a child, that's a moment to remember. You write the letter, we handle the rest — even if you're far away.

A letter that really comes by mail

The letter is printed in colour and mailed to the child's address, like any other mail. Nothing on the letter says it was ordered online: it's your words and your layout.

It's also a lovely idea for a grandparent, godparent or relative who lives far away, or abroad.

Ideas to make it magical

Use the child's first name and mention their year: a new sibling, starting school, a sport, a pet. Mention one or two wishes from their list, without promising everything.

Add a “Santa's Workshop, North Pole” header, a reindeer or snowflake image, and a signature. Choose the flat envelope so the letter arrives without a crease.

No, you write it: nobody knows the child better than you. We print and mail.
