A santa sack is a decorative bag, typically made from fabric, used to hold Christmas presents. Traditionally associated with Santa Claus, it is placed under the Christmas tree or delivered to children as a festive surprise. In simple terms, it’s a large, often personalised or festive‑themed bag that brings both function and charm to Christmas celebrations. The main reason Australians love santa sacks is that they combine practicality and style — storing gifts while adding a nostalgic, decorative touch to the home during the holiday season.
Santa sacks come in a variety of materials, sizes, and designs, allowing you to match them to your Christmas décor and gifting style.
