You geeks with small kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews: Order them a nice letter from the Santa Claus!
As everyone knows, Santa comes from Lapland in Finland, beyond the Arctic Circle. The
Finnish National Postal Service (Posti as it's called in Finnish) has teamed up with Santa and delivers personal original letters to kids allover the world. Unfortunately the world economical situation affects Santa's business, too, and there's a small fee for this service. This year the letter costs €7.90 ($8.40, £5.60, CAD11.20, AUD11.50).
The letters can be ordered in following languages: Finnish, Swedish, English, German, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Polish.
You can order the letters here:

For some reason the final payment dialog is not translated in English. I have reported this to Posti, the company, maybe it will be fixed next year. It's self-explanatory but in case you need help, here's a screenshot of that Finnish dialog with translations:
