All I want for Christmas

With just weeks to go until Christmas, the Royal Mail elves can reveal this year’s top 10 most requested presents that children have asked for their letters in to Santa.

We’ve managed the Christmas mailbag for 60 years and every year carry out the most authoritative survey of children’s wishes this Christmas, based on their letters. Unlike most toy surveys in the run up to Christmas, our findings come directly from the children themselves.

The 2023 list is a mix of new entries with reoccurring favourites:

1. Magic Flyers
2. Nintendo Switch Console
3. Lego
4. Barbie Doll
5. Nerf Gun
6. Pokémon Battle Academy
7. Robotic Kit
8. Star Wars Character Figure (Mandalorian)
9. Furby
10. Playmobil

Gerry Teggart, Chief Elf (aka Head of Stamp Operations), said ‘For 60 years Royal Mail has played a special part at Christmas working with Santa and his elves. We are proud that children across the UK trust us with delivering their treasured letters to Santa, so they can receive the gifts they really want!’
