Fans showed their support to Chris and Elise Cirri for making Santa's Enchanted Mailbox even though the product failed to close the deal

With the holiday season just around the corner, parents are finding ways to surprise their children in a unique way that would be remembered for a very long time. There are a lot of products in the market that can be bought to make your child happy. However, whenever Christmas arrives, all little children want to do is to send a letter to Santa Claus and tell him what they want for the occasion this year. Although, it’s impossible to do so, wouldn’t that be nice if something this innovative could be sold just to make your children happy?

Whenever we talk about innovation, ‘Shark Tank’ is the name that pops up in our hands and the show did not disappoint as one of the entrepreneurs on the show came out with a pitch that would make children really joyful. If you're looking to make the festive season a little more special for your family, then Santa's Enchanted Mailbox will help you do just that! The product has a specific mechanism that hides the letters and surprises the children, making them believe that their letter went straight to Santa.

Founded by Chris and Elisa Cirri, the couple started by showing a video of how the product has made so many children happy over the years. They were requesting the Sharks to invest $150,000 in their business for a 30% stake. Their licensing deal came to an end and this was the first time they were on their own. They also get a $1.7 million deal. However, in 2020, it became hard for them as they faced a lot of obstacles.

Shockingly, they were paying a markup for their own product to utilize the manufacturer, which means they were the facility, but the manufacturer wasn’t paying for the molds, it was Chris and Elisa who were paying for everything.

They spend $17.25 on the product and they sell it for $49.99 on their website. Initially, it sounded interesting to all the sharks, but it seems the “seasonal” thing came in between. So, none of the sharks decided to invest in the business. However, social media was behind the couple and hailed the idea of having something so magical for their children.

One of the users said, “The magic mailbox is really cute though.” Another user noted, “I could see hallmark selling these and they could help licensing music and snoopy wig them.”

“This magic mailbox is a fun idea for kids,” said one of the fans of the show. “Santa’s Enchanted mailbox, like this idea,” wrote another one. “Santa’s Enchanted Mailbox looks like fun!” wrote one user.

One excited user shared her excitement by saying, “I LOVE it! I’m SO in!!!”
