What Is a Personalized Santa Sack?
A personalized Santa sack is a large fabric gift bag that carries a child or grown-up's name across the front and sits under the tree ready to be filled on Christmas morning. It holds a proper armful of gifts, boxes, books, and soft toys that a hanging stocking never could. The name is what turns it into a tradition. Once a child has claimed the sack with their name on it, it comes back out of the closet every December, year after year.
Every sack in this collection is printed to order in the USA at 19.7 by 26 inches on a 95 percent polyester and 5 percent cotton drawstring sack. The designs, from the North Pole Express train to the flying reindeer and the classic vintage Santa, are drawn in house by Tammy, who has been designing for 36 years. Over 7,000 custom pieces have gone out the door since 2020.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Santa sack?
A Santa sack is a large fabric gift bag used to deliver Christmas gifts, usually personalized with a name across the front. It sits under the tree rather than hanging like a stocking, and it holds gifts a stocking cannot. Most households that start using them keep the same sacks year after year, which is the whole point of putting a name on one.
What size is a Santa sack?
Every sack in this collection is 19.7 by 26 inches (50 by 66 cm), one size, about a standard bed pillow stood on end. It takes a proper armful of gifts and stands up on its own once there is something in it.
How big should a Santa sack be?
Big enough to hold real gifts rather than one sweater and a card. At 19.7 by 26 inches these sacks fit wrapped boxes, books, pajamas, and soft toys, which is what makes them worth keeping instead of a paper bag.
What do you put in a Santa sack?
Wrapped gifts, books, new pajamas, and soft toys all work. For babies and toddlers think board books and plush; for older kids and grown-ups think the bigger boxed gifts that never fit in a stocking. Because the sack sits under the tree, it becomes the main event on Christmas morning.
Where can I buy personalized Santa sacks?
Right here. Every design in this collection is printed to order with any name you choose and shipped to you. Tailor Made Rooms designs each sack in Michigan and prints it in the USA.
Which are the best personalized Santa sacks for kids?
It depends on the child. The baby reindeer design suits babies and toddlers, the North Pole Express train and the flying reindeer suit younger kids who love the story, and the vintage Santa Claus design is a classic that grows with them. Every one is personalized with the child's name.
What is the difference between a Santa sack and a stocking?
A stocking hangs and holds small things. A sack sits under the tree and holds a proper armful, including boxes and soft toys that would never fit in a stocking. Sacks are also more often personalized, because they are large enough to carry a name at a size a child can spot from across the room.
Are personalized Santa sacks worth it?
Yes, because they get kept. The gift inside is forgotten by February, but the sack with the name on it comes back out every December and turns into a family tradition without anyone deciding it should. That is the difference between a fabric Santa sack and a paper gift bag.
Can you get a Santa sack personalized same day?
No. Each sack is printed to order with your name on it. Production takes 2 to 4 business days, then shipping is 3 to 5 days. Our Christmas order cutoff is December 5. Orders placed after that are still made, we just cannot promise they land before the 25th.
What material are Santa sacks made from?
These Santa sacks are 95 percent polyester and 5 percent cotton with a polyester drawstring closure. They are a fabric gift bag made to be kept and reused, not a paper bag that goes in the recycling on the 26th.
Are these Santa sacks personalized after I order?
Yes. Each sack is printed to order with the exact name you type into the personalization box. If you want several, add one to your cart with the first name, then come back and add the next; each one is printed separately with its own name.
What are some Christmas gift bag ideas for kids with names?
A named Santa sack per child is the simplest one: everyone knows which is theirs before they can even read, by where the name sits. Fill each with wrapped gifts, a book, and new pajamas, and reuse the same named sacks every year so they become part of the family's Christmas morning.
