Gallery
Is there a better time of year than Christmas?
Christmas Eve, in particular, is one of the most magical moments of the year for children: full of promise, sprinkled with sparkle and humming with good tidings. Plus, let's not forget the most important event of the evening: the visit from Father Christmas himself.
We've searched far and wide, with a little help from Santa's elf friends and maybe a reindeer or two, to find the best letters from Santa that we could, and we are confident these will deliver festive joy and Christmas feeling in abundance.
If you're looking for more inspiration for gifting, we've also selected the best Christmas gifts under £10 to help you make your choice, and we've chosen the best Christmas gifts for dads, too. Happy gifting!

You fill in the four 'clue' cards and hand write your own clue in the provided box, before covering it with a sticker.
Leave the cards around the house as your kids find each clue, which leads them to presents from Santa (perhaps a chocolate or some reindeer food for Rudolph). This is a unique way of getting the family working together for some festive fun.
