Questions parents ask
When does it open?
We plan to open to families on November 5, 2026. Gift guides are available now.
Who creates the account?
Parents only. Your child writes to Santa from inside your account, either on your device or through a private one-time link you send to a tablet in the house.
What information do you collect about my child?
A nickname, an age band, optional interests, and the letter and wishes they write. No voice input. We don't ask for a last name, address, school or photo. See our children's privacy notice.
Is there advertising or tracking in kid mode?
No. There are no ad pixels, retargeting or behavioral tracking in kid mode. Marketing tools run only on pages meant for parents.
What does Santa's Report include?
Your child's wishes ranked by how much they want each one, matched to products with current prices, budget alternatives, age-appropriate swaps, and an interest snapshot with gift ideas beyond the list. Wishes we can't match with confidence are flagged for you to confirm.
Can relatives see the list?
Yes. You invite family by email or private link. They see the list without the gifts you've marked as handled by you, and they can claim gifts so nothing is bought twice. You'll know an item was claimed, but not by whom unless they choose to tell you.
Will Santa promise specific gifts?
Never. Santa's letters are personal and warm, and you approve every letter before your child sees it.
What does it cost?
The digital letter from Santa is free. A handwritten letter mailed in a North Pole envelope will be a paid add-on. Prices will be shown before you order.
How do you make money?
When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a commission from retailers. It doesn't change your price. See the affiliate disclosure.
Are the prices accurate?
Prices come live from the retailer where we can get them, and show the time they were fetched. Prices change, so check the retailer's page before you buy. Some gift guide pages list ideas without prices.
How do I delete my child's data?
You'll be able to review and delete your child's data from your account with one click, or delete your account entirely. You can also email us.
