I know, I know – it’s only September. But with 3 kids to buy for, as well as a large extended family, I start to plan for the festive season nice and early – that way I avoid the mad mid December rush and heaving crowds. So when Mrs Claus herself got in touch recently to chat about personalised letters from Santa, I wasn’t phased by the time of year, and I couldn’t wait to order Max his very first letter from the big man.
My Letter from Santa Claus aims to ignite the magic of Christmas with a very personal letter from Santa. I have had ‘personalised’ letters before, but in all honestly, the only ‘personal’ part is that the childs name has been added. I was pleased to see that My Letter from Santa Claus is very different. If you choose the Premium letter option (priced at £5.69), you are prompted to enter a lot of information about the child, such as a present they have asked for, name of a brother/sister/friend/pet, age and a special event from the last 12 months. This is all translated into your letter, and so makes it a very personal option – which is exactly what a child would expect from Santa!
The letter arrives in a handwritten envelope with North Pole postmarks and a wax seal – exactly what you imagine a letter from Santa to look like to be honest! Inside, you get so much more than just a letter – you get a whole North Pole experience. As well as the gorgeous letter, detailing all the information you requested in a way that children can read, understand and enjoy, you also get a personalised Nice List certificate and a Santa Stop Here poster to colour in.
I love all the little details that have been added from the information I gave. Santa speaks of how he saw the elves in the workshop making a present for Jacob, and congratulates Max on learning to walk, asking about his favourite pair of shoes. It’s so personal, so beautifully written and such a special thing for children to treasure. It is by far the most wonderful personalised Santa letter I have come across, and I will definitely be ordering 2 more for Gemma and Jacob closer to Christmas.
Ordering from the website is so easy – you just add your details and address, the childs name, gender and personal info you want included, and hit order. It takes 5 minutes, and arrives really quickly too. As well as the premium option, there are other options available – A standard letter from Santa (3.99), an e-letter (£2.69) which can be ordered right up until Christmas Eve, and even the option to write your own letter (£5.99).
Have you ordered letters from Santa before? What do you think of them, and is it something you will be doing this year?
Oooooh I would LOVE a letter from Santa! This is from the real one, right? 😉 #triedtested
It’s far far too soon… but I’ve just done my first Xmas post and it’s about a letter from santa service too – This looks great, I can’t wait to get Ethan’s, the site is great and has loads of options so I’m hoping for good things!

This looks so good! Last year we ordered Santa letters from the NSPCC and it was very similar, allowing you to enter a couple of details to make them unique but this looks like it goes a step further. Will have to remember this when it gets closer to the C time! #TriedTested
i love Santa letters, will consider this for the future when L will be ready

I love this, what a fantastic idea. My little man might be a bit young for it this year, but I’d love to see his face when he gets a letter from Santa! x

This looks really sweet and I love the certificate design. You could even put that up on their bedroom wall until Christmas is over.
