GIFT WITH A STORY · OPENING CHRISTMAS LETTER

Make It a Gift With a Story.

Every Advent collection can begin with a personalized Christmas letter. Tell us who it is for and who it is from, and we will create the story they open before Day Nº 01.

Who should we address the Christmas letter to?

Your name, family name, company name, etc.

Optional — a sentence or two is plenty. We may lightly edit the wording so the finished letter reads naturally.

WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE. Your details are used to create the personalized Opening Christmas Letter included with this Advent collection.
Sending calendars to different people? Add each recipient to your cart separately so every Opening Christmas Letter can be personalized.

SAMPLE STORY CARD
More Than Something Behind a Door

The Candy Comes With a Little History.

The countdown is meant to feel like visiting an old candy counter one day at a time.

The story guide gives the recipient context for the assortment—candy-counter traditions, old-fashioned favorites and the role sweets have played in Christmas stockings and holiday treats.

GIFT WITH A STORYOPEN BEFORE DAY Nº 01

Your Christmas story starts here—

Some gifts are opened once. This one was chosen to give you one more little surprise tomorrow.

SENT WITH A STORY
The Opening Christmas Letter

Why This Countdown Was Chosen for Them.

The Candy Counter guide explains what they are discovering. The opening letter explains why the gift was sent.

When the countdown is purchased as a gift, the Christmas parcel can begin with a personalized letter created around the recipient and the reason for the gift.

Christmas Parcel Department · Information Desk

Before You Order.

The essential details for CAT. 242.

When should I order for the countdown to arrive before December 1?

For 2026, order by November 20 for expected delivery before the December 1 countdown begins. Earlier ordering is recommended because CAT. 242 is produced in limited holiday quantities and may sell out before that date.

Can I pick up the countdown locally?

Yes. Local pickup is planned through November 29 while remaining quantities are available. Limited production means pickup inventory may sell out earlier.

Can I choose the individual candies?

No. Gift With a Story curates the full 24-day candy assortment so the exact daily discovery remains part of the countdown.

Will every day contain the same kind of candy?

No. The collection is designed as a varied trip through the nostalgic candy counter, with different styles of sweets represented across the 24 days.

What else is included besides the candy?

The collection includes a Candy Counter story guide with vintage candy facts, traditions and context for selected daily discoveries.

Can this be sent as a gift?

Yes. Gift orders can include a personalized Opening Christmas Letter so the recipient knows why the countdown was chosen for them.
