In Partnership with Mattel
Or is this just me? Every year I have the best of intentions to be organised and shop early for Christmas. I like to imagine that I'll be one of those wonderful gift-givers who breezes calmly through the aisles of my department store barely working up a sweat. I envision that I am one of those people who pays particular attention to what the recipient wants, needs or likes and buys appropriate gifts which will be loved and cherished.
Admittedly, the reality is never quite what I imagine. I usually run out of time and impulse buy or stock up on gift cards. This year, it will be different... well the kids shopping at least...
Mattel's new Letter To Santa website, means that kids can be involved in a little Santa magic this season and ensure they get their wish list to him this Christmas.
Letter to Santa is the perfect Christmas companion helping children select their Santa wish list online and in return, receive a message from Santa himself.
Letter to Santa is a handy tool for relatives and friends wanting gift inspiration or help this season. The lists are emailed to the parent, who can then forward this list on to grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends etc. Plus, the email includes links to where you can source the toys in your local area. What a great idea!
After dinner this evening, my two sat down and chose their preferred toys : Monster High, Hot Wheels, Barbie, Batman etc. This part took a little while as there was much to look at, decide and choose. It's tough being a kid, isn't it?
When they'd made their decisions, they clicked on to the next screen and wrote their letter to Santa. My little man was straight to the point whereas my little lady was a little more flowery with her writing and even added a few x's at the end for Santa.
We clicked on the next screen and I added my basic details (name, email etc) and had the option of entering the draw to win 1 of 500 toys. We entered of course and then when we clicked to the end, the end, the children were treated to a little personalised video from Santa himself.
Once they'd finished, I checked my email and wouldn't you know it, one of them had won a toy and the other hadn't. We don't know who it was, so they both went to bed excited with the knowledge that a toy would be arriving in our mail box in the next few weeks.
Do you have a little person who would like to choose some toys and write a letter to Santa?

Thank you for sharing. Wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing we just won too!! now excited to see what arrives.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for the 'quiet' ones; the kids that keep their secret Christmas gift wants to themselves knowing that they don't have to tell their parents because Santa will know exactly what to bring them!
