How it works

You take the photo and record the message. We put the character in the picture, print the card and mail it.

1

Upload a photo

Any vertical photo works — a phone snap in low light is what most parents send. Leave a little room for the character.

2

Put them in the picture

Choose a pose and they are composited into your actual photo, lit to match the room.

3

Record the message

Say it in your own voice or type it. Either way it comes back in Santa's or the Tooth Fairy's voice.

4

We mail the card

Free shipping. A real printed keepsake with a rechargeable speaker built in.

The inside of a Talking Santa card — the child's photo on the left page, Santa's letter on the right

Open it up

Three things, in one card.

Not a print-out and not an app. A real folded card on heavy, heirloom cardstock, with the electronics built into the board.

  1. 1

    Their photo, with the character in it

    The left page is the picture you sent, with Santa or the Tooth Fairy composited into the scene.

  2. 2

    A letter in their own hand

    The right page carries the message, set in script, with your child's name in it.

  3. 3

    A speaker you press

    A rechargeable speaker sits in the card. Press the button and the message plays. USB-C cable in the box — no batteries to replace, and you can record a new message every year.

Never know what to say?

77 messages, written for this.

Blanking on the words is the hardest part, so we wrote them. 44 for Santa and 33 for the Tooth Fairy — Christmas Eve, a first Christmas, the nice list, a first tooth, a nervous child, a lost tooth that went missing. Print them out and read from paper while you record.

“Ho ho ho, [Name]. I'm looking at the map right now and your house is one of my very favorite stops. The reindeer already know the way.”

Santa · Christmas Eve

“[Name], the elves took a vote this year and it was unanimous. Kind to your family, brave when things were hard, generous with your friends.”

Santa · Nice list

“I heard you might be a little worried about a stranger coming down the chimney. I am the friendliest, quietest visitor you will ever have.”

Santa · For a nervous child

“Your very first tooth, [Name]. I have been doing this a long time and the first one is still my favourite part of the job.”

Tooth Fairy · First tooth

Our story

We make the keepsakes we wish we'd had.

Children keep strange things — a ticket stub, a drawing, a note somebody left on the counter. A photograph shows a child what they looked like; a voice tells them how they were spoken to. So we build cards that hold one, made to still be in a drawer in fifteen years and still work.
