The Keepsakes You’ll Tuck Away for That Perfect Moment

Everything arrives thoughtfully prepared so you can tuck it away until the moment is just right.

For the Secret Giver

The feeling begins with you. You hold the surprise, the story, and the moment. We simply help you share that warmth effortlessly.

Keepsakes You’ll Tuck Away for That Perfect Moment

Thoughtfully Personalized

Each letter is crafted from the details you share, then hand-signed to feel genuinely written for your child. The kind of keepsake they will read more than once and tuck away for years.

Premium Stationery

Printed on elegant linen paper and paired with a Christmas-green envelope trimmed in gold. The letter is delivered unsealed, with a satin ribbon and gold seal provided, giving you the chance to review every detail and seal the envelope by hand before gifting.

A Tradition That Feels Like Yours

Warm, simple, and designed to fit families of every background and belief. No matter how you celebrate the season, this letter meets you right where you are.

Limited Holiday Slots

Each package is crafted deliberately, one at a time. To ensure every child receives the care they deserve, we create only a limited number of letters each season. Once each letter has found its home, the next collection begins the following year.

A Moment Worth Holding Onto

The way her eyes follow each word… the way she smiles… the way time seems to pause just for the two of you.

These are the memories she’ll carry long after the letter is tucked away.

This journey, this story, this feeling, it’s yours as much as hers. And it begins with you.

Crafted With Care

This is a tradition done with love, patience, and unwavering attention to detail.

Why Families Return Each Year

What began as handwritten letters for friends and loved ones has grown through word-of-mouth into a cherished keepsake tradition for families everywhere, and this year we’re extending it to more children who’ve been waiting for a letter of their own.

I'm honored to begin this journey with you. The small, meaningful moments of belief you create for your child this season will one day become part of the stories shared here.

As our season unfolds, this space will fill with reflections from families who've brought these letters into their homes. Thank you for being part of this tradition and for trusting The Secret Scribes with a moment that matters.
Where My Story Begins
I grew up on a Dutch-Caribbean island where we were encouraged to be curious, imaginative, and fully alive. My earliest memories are simple and sensory: muddy feet, sandy weekends, family filling our home with stories and food, and traditions that crossed cultures and generations. My mother and grandmother were at the center of it all, shaping our days with tenderness, strength, and everyday care that taught me what love looks like.
A Childhood Woven with Wonder

Christmas in the Dutch Caribbean carried a kind of magic all its own. We celebrated both Sinterklaas and Santa, which meant welcoming Santa twice. On December 6th, with no chimneys on the island, we left our shoes by the front door, believing Sint Nicholas had a magic key to slip inside and leave our gifts. The night before, we wrote poems and sang Sinterklaas songs aloud, convinced that if he heard us, he wouldn’t forget our house.

Even as children, we baked cakes that appeared only once a year, decorated the tree, opened our doors to neighbors who simply wanted company, and secretly dipped our little hands in paint while the adults refreshed the house for the season after another year had passed.
