Personalisation Guide

The little details make all the difference.

Santa’s letters are most magical when they include the tiny things only your family would know. Use this guide for a little inspiration. There are no wrong answers.

✦ One special thing your child did this year

A little tip from the North Pole it doesn’t need to be a big achievement. The more specific it is to your child, the more magical their letter will feel.

✦ Grew your very first strawberry and have been eating them straight from the garden
✦ Learned to ride your purple bike all by yourself without training wheels
✦ Started school this year and have made a very special friend called Sophie
✦ Lost your first tooth while eating an apple at Grandma’s house
✦ Learned to swim all the way across the pool without your floaties
✦ Have been helping feed your new baby brother every morning before kindy
✦ Learned to write your whole name and proudly write it on everything you can find
✦ Have been taking such good care of your new puppy, Teddy, and helping fill his bowl          every morning
✦ Climbed all the way to the top of the big climbing wall at the playground for the first            time
✦ Planted your own little vegetable garden and have been checking every morning to see      what has grown
✦ Learned to make pancakes with Dad and now insist on flipping them yourself
✦ Performed in your very first dance show and remembered every single step
✦ Started sleeping in your big-kid bed and have been so proud to show everyone                    your new room

✦ A favourite tradition or family moment

Think of the little things your family does together the traditions, adventures and wonderfully ordinary moments they’ll always remember.

✦ Baking gingerbread with Grandma and sneaking a few before they’ve cooled
✦ Driving around in your pyjamas to find the best Christmas lights
✦ Decorating the tree together while your favourite Christmas songs play
✦ Making pancakes with Dad every Sunday morning and always getting the first one
✦ Summer evenings at the beach with fish and chips and sandy toes
✦ Movie nights on the couch with popcorn, blankets and Home Alone
✦ Saturday morning walks to the café for a fluffy and a treat
✦ Camping by the lake every summer and staying up late to look at the stars

✦ A little P.S. from Santa

This is the perfect place for a tiny detail that will make them wonder just how Santa knew...

✦ Give [pet’s name] an extra-big Christmas hug from me
✦ Save one of those famous chocolate-chip cookies for the elves
✦ Tell [favourite teddy/toy] I hope they’ve been behaving too
✦ Keep practising those cartwheels - I hear you’re nearly there!
✦ Give your little brother or sister an extra cuddle from me
✦ I hope [new pet’s name] enjoys their very first Christmas
✦ Keep up those brilliant dance moves - the elves are impressed!
✦ Don’t forget a carrot for Rudolph - he’ll be looking for it!

✦ Their delivery address

Even the address can have a little magic. Keep it simple, or add a detail Santa would surely know.

✦ The little white house with the red door
✦ The house at the end of the long driveway
✦ The home with the big pōhutukawa tree out front
✦ The house where [pet’s name] keeps watch
✦ Upstairs, in the bedroom with the stars on the wall
✦ Or simply use their usual street address - Santa knows exactly where to find them.

And remember don’t overthink it. The smallest, most ordinary details are often the ones that make their letter feel truly theirs.
