Finding the right present for your child’s teacher can be tricky. As parents, we often approach the end of the school year with exhaustion. Having the mental energy to make decisions about what to get for whom can feel overwhelming, let alone finding time to get to the shops kid-free.
This Christmas, children are welcomed to the Myer Centre to post their very own letters to Father Christmas! We’ve created a Santa’s Express Post Office with a station for kids to write or draw a postcard to pop in a post box heading for the North Pole. Alternatively, they may like to write their own letters at home to bring in to send off. Santa Claus will be bombarded with letters and drawings this year! We want to spread the Christmas cheer at Myer Centre and encourage children to get creative and excited. What’s more, children can visit the big man himself at Santaland. Let your children experience the magic of Christmas and jump aboard the Santaland Express for the ultimate adventure. Santaland is a magical, winter wonderland filled with activities and things to explore. Bookings are essential this year, visit here for more information. We’ve also teamed up again with the Salvation Army to offer a gift wrapping service for a gold coin donation. While Christmas is happy and joyful for most, this year especially, there are many doing it tough. Your generous donations can be made on Ground Level of the Myer Centre – right in front of MYER from 12 December right through until Christmas Eve. Your donation means that The Salvation Army can offer: Shelter for people with nowhere to sleep Gifts for kids who would otherwise get none Hampers for people struggling to afford basic meals Support for those struck by disaster. Through your generosity, the Salvation Army can truly give hope where it’s needed most. Experience the joy and excitement of Christmas through your children’s eyes this year. Visit the Myer Centre from Friday 2 December until Monday 9 January to enjoy the magic of Christmas.
Children can visit the Myer Centre this Christmas and post their very own letters to Santa, via the Myer Centre Express Post Office!

Do you remember writing a letter to Santa as a child? You’d make a list of the presents you were after, in the hope that you’d managed to crack the Nice List. You’d add an altruistic one on the end, like world peace, to get you over the line because you’d recently had a fight with your sister over a Barbie which may have pushed you into Naughty List territory.
