Santa will be available for children to share with him their holiday wishes. Each child will receive a holiday greeting for Santa to sign plus they can purchase their own jumbo sticker and activity book for the jolly old elf to sign.

Exclusive to the gift shop at Robert Mills is Santa’s Magic Key, and Santa’s holiday letter kit and reindeer food, all available for the little ones to enjoy the traditions of the holidays in a special way.

Parents may take pictures of their little ones with Santa, and on our vintage snow sled as well.

Children may view the Historic Basement of Robert Mills where they can see the elves hard at work, gingerbread cookies and goodies baked by Mrs. Claus, the brightly wrapped packages that are ready for giving and the stockings ready to be filled by the fireplace.

Sign their own name and their holiday wish on Santa’s GOOD LIST of little boys and girls.
