A printable letter from Santa, written for your child
A letter from Santa is believable when it could only have been written for one child. That means their name, where they live, something kind they really did this year, and a gentle hint about the present they’re hoping for. You type those in, we set them into a keepsake letter, and you print it at home.
What makes a letter from Santa believable
Children notice the details. A letter that mentions helping their little brother learn to ride his bike lands very differently from one that simply says they’ve been good.
A few ideas when you fill it in
Pick one specific kind thing
“Shared your sweets with Grandad” beats “been kind to others”.
Write their age as a word
“You are now seven” sounds like Santa. “You are now 7” sounds like a form.
Hint at the present, don’t promise it
The letter says a reindeer mentioned it, which leaves room for surprises.
Use the town they’d say
If they call it Ilfracombe rather than North Devon, use that.

Everything in the kit
Alongside the letter you get five matching pieces, all in the same design.
Printing it at home
- Paper size
- Every kit includes A4 for UK printers and US Letter for relatives in America.
- Paper
- Ordinary 80 to 100gsm paper works. White or cream card between 160 and 250gsm, if your printer takes it, gives the letter a proper keepsake feel.
- Settings
- Choose “Actual size” or 100%, portrait, and your printer’s best quality.
- Margins
- The border sits comfortably inside the page, so home printers won’t cut it off.
- The door hanger
- Cut along the dashed line and punch out the hole.

Your child’s details stay private
We only ask for a first name and a town, never a surname or an address. Those details are used to make the kit and nothing else, never for marketing. You can delete the kit, and every PDF made from it, with one button in the editor. Our privacy policy has the full details.
