Santa’s Not-So-Secret Mission

He’s making a list and checking it twice. But this year, he’s gonna find out who’s KIND and nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town along with an interactive ornament that does good in the world. And he’s looking for lots and lots of helpers.

For 25 years, Kansas City-based DEMDACO has been on a mission to “Lift the Spirit” through creating meaningful gifts that celebrate life’s precious moments. Now, they’re partnering with Santa himself to spread that mission in an innovative way that’s capturing hearts across the country.

Santa’s Kindness Ornament is a gift that keeps on giving…kindness.

“DEMDACO has always believed in creating products that resonate with people’s lives
and values,” says Demi Lloyd, CEO of DEMDACO. “The Santa’s Kindness Ornament is a perfect example of how we can inspire kids to spread kindness and focus on what truly matters during the holidays.”

From December 1 through 26th, this ornament helps families count down to Christmas with videos, messages, and activities from the jolly old elf himself.

Santa’s message to kids? Help me spread a little kindness every day.

Not only does Santa’s Kindness Ornament makes a beautiful statement on your Christmas tree, but it also does much more. After you hang the ornament on the tree:

  • Scan the Santa Link on the ornament.
  • Register your safe scan PIN.
  • Scan the ornament several times a day, starting December 1st, and you’ll receive video messages from Santa asking children for help sharing acts of kindness and caring for others.
  • Plus, Santa will ask kids to write, draw, and play games in the Kindness Journal that is included with each ornament – creating a meaningful keepsake for families. Extra journals (so each child can have one) are sold separately.

 

Ho. Ho. Ho. Santa Says. . .

Santa might suggest baking cookies to share with friends and neighbors. Or simply giving someone in your family a hug or telling them what you like about them. He might hint that helping with a household task spreads kindness, too. And he definitely gets Mrs. Claus and the Elves involved.

“We’re excited about this new addition that we launched last year,” says Demi Lloyd, CEO of DEMDACO. “Our Santa’s Kindness Ornament has resonated deeply with families.
Our research found that 86% of parents reported that their kids showcased kindness and that families spent more time together as a result of experiencing the ornament.”

Founded in 1997 by Lloyd and Dave Kiersznowski, DEMDACO is a Kansas City-based company that creates products that lift the spirit and help celebrate life’s most cherished moments. With over 10,000 retailers that sell their products, chances are you have seen DEMDACO gifts that emphasize friendship, love, comfort, and delight.

“This isn’t just about selling products,” Lloyd explains. “It’s about creating meaningful experiences that resonate with our core values. Just as we’ve spent decades nurturing a workplace culture of kindness and community involvement here in Kansas City, Santa’s Kindness Ornament helps families create their own culture of caring.”

Like Elf on a Shelf or Advent calendars, the Santa’s Kindness Ornament puts the emphasis on sharing goodness instead of receiving stuff. It can usher in a new and welcome holiday tradition.

In addition to santaskindness.com and Amazon, you can find Santa’s Kindness Ornament at retailers around town—and around the country. A store locator at the bottom of the website will help you find a participating retailer near you.

“We hope you’ll join us in a fun and heartwarming way to spread kindness in Kansas City,” says Lloyd.
