Each letter can be personalised with the child’s name, age, gender, best friend or family member’s name, favourite activity and achievements – they will be amazed that Santa knows them so well!
In addition to these personalisation options, this year, you’ll also be able to choose whether the letter is signed ‘Santa’ or ‘Father Christmas’.
You’ll be able to choose from seven different beautifully illustrated styles for children, making them the ideal gift for families with more than one child as each can receive a truly unique letter, tailored to their age.
Santa has even written a special poem to celebrate Baby’s First Christmas – a keepsake to treasure for years to come.
And this year we even have a special letter for grown-ups – you’re never too old for a Letter from Santa!
Santa will make sure that children at the same address are sent different designs (as long as they are ordered together), so they get a letter that’s unique to them.
The letters are beautifully illustrated and arrive via Rudolph Mail to make the experience truly unforgettable.
