A gift that lasts longer than Christmas morning

Lots of toys get played with for a day. Then they end up in the pile.

This one keeps coming. It's real paper, in the real mailbox, with your child's name on it.

Every week there's something new to open, solve, and keep. No screens needed.

How it works

1
You order. Tell us your child's name and address.
2
The letters arrive. One envelope a week for 6 weeks.
3
You become the Trusted Keeper. We email you a simple guide. You hide a small gift and print a Secret Note. It takes about 10 minutes.
4
Your child finds the treasure. The final letter sends them to you for the Captain's Secret Note.
