Loop your toy
The Good Christmas Tree is Loopyty's Christmas campaign: children's Christmas wishes are posted on the tree, and others give them pre-loved toys for Christmas. Here, strangers become each other's Santa, and under the tree wait toys looking for a new home. Perhaps the toy your family has outgrown, or one that was never played with, travels from Bodø and becomes someone's Christmas present in Kristiansand this year.
The tree opens on 1 November. Then children can post their wishes, and you can grant a wish or place a gift under the tree.
Whoever gives wraps the gift and pays the shipping.
A wish shows only its picture and its words. Up to three wishes per child.
What the tree can look like with wishes and gifts
You can give in two ways, and you can write your own Christmas wish. Every gift is a toy that has belonged to someone before.
Find a wish on the tree and see what the child is dreaming of. Have you got a toy that fits, or something along the same lines? Tap ‘I have this’, choose the toy and pay the shipping. The family is told the wish has been granted, and you find the Helthjem code under Orders.
Got a toy you've outgrown that still has adventures in it? Choose the toy, put it under the tree and pay the shipping. When someone chooses the gift, you find the Helthjem code under Orders and send it wrapped. If nobody chooses it by 23 December, you get the shipping back (minus the payment fee).
Is your child wishing for something, and are you happy for it to have been loved before? Write the wish, and it stays on the tree until someone finds it. If someone has the toy, they can grant the wish, and you are told when it has been granted. You can write up to three wishes for each child, but sadly we can't promise every wish will be granted.
A gift must be in the condition Never played, Flawless or Pre-loved.
