From the description:
Pilots willing to help Sandra’s Workshop can collect festive gifts from the Frost Dock outpost in the Njambalba system. The outpost can only provide landing pads for small- and medium-sized vessels. A beacon outside Frost Dock holds delivery information which can be acquired via scan.

All that's left is to find delivery locations

Thank you for that info! I would have overlooked it.

What I found out and to be alittle bit more precise than GalNet:
Fly to Frost Dock Outpost in Njambalba, stock up with festive gifts from the local commodity market, undock and scan the data beacon just outside the outpost.
You'll receive a list of children's letters to Sandra (messages) and then you will have to figure out where the child is.
Next fly there, dock at the outpost, station etc. and sell one festive gift to the local market.
I only made one delivery, yet. For this I received a Diamond Back Explorer Cracker and a festive launcher in green.
Hope I can figure out where all the other children are...

Jesus, those are some pretty ambiguous hints, heh.

I having trouble with the 5/6.

The composer of Blue Danube is Johann Strauss, so I've looked up a planet named "Strauss". I've found one in system "Fomalhaut" and tried the station next to it "Dickensport" No reward there

What am I missing

They're all pretty logical.

Well, sort of. I figured them all out but this was definitely something you needed 3rd party tools for. Ironic after the thread earlier this week. I can't imagine anyone knowing all of those offhand. That's what I meant by ambiguous. I was hoping for hints that would have allowed me to figure it out 100% in game.

Personally, I would have made them so you have more information about where to go but still need to work out the final detail from the letters. By which I mean, you either have the system name or the station's name and the letter hints at the missing detail. Otherwise the bubble's just too big to track down stations without any other hints.

Was still a lot of fun though, and got to chat with others along the journey and help a few folks who don't speak English as their first language that were stumped by some of the hints.
