Christmas eve boxes

[CottlestonPie]

I know some people do a December box and some don't do this at all... but I did a Christmas eve box last year and it went down so well I want to do it again this year.

What do you put in yours?

So far I've got (for 3 kiddos)...
Activity books
Bath fizzers
Pjs
DVD (not sure which yet)
Popcorn
Hot chocolate and marshmallows
2x bedtime books (a silly one and The Night Before Christmas)
Santa's plate and reindeer food

We've never done the magic key thing for some reason otherwise that'd be in there.

Im debating putting their stockings at the bottom of the box for them to hang up... but also I like to have them hanging up before then. We'll see!

Hey Cottles! Fancy seeing you in here! :wave:

On December 1st, the boys will get their advent calendars (DS1 has Lego Star Wars & DS2 has Playmobil 123), plus some Christmas jammies & then I dig out the Christmas bedding, plates, cups etc.

On Christmas Eve, they will have (although, I haven't bought any of this yet!):
Christmas activity book of some sort (stickers etc.) each
Christmas story book each
Christmas themed toy each (last year was Happyland & Playmobil but not decided yet for this year)
Chocolate treat each (got the cute Kinder houses last year)
Christmas themed snack for watching a film (got Christmas animal biscuits last year)
Christmas cookie cutters (same ones each year, to make our biscuits)
Bath bomb for special bath (usually a Lush Christmas one)
Large hot choclate cone for before bed
New Christmas jammies

Think that's it!

I fill a box with :

Christmas Jammie's
Lush bath bomb (usually one with tons of glitter!!)
Reindeer food

Torch each for when we go outside to do reindeer food
DVD to watch as a family
Christmas themed gingerbread man

I get the elves (my mum and dad) to deliver ours, they shake jingle bells outside all the windows then 'run' away, then when we open the door its magically been left there by the elves xx

We do Christmas Eve boxes for each of us (hubby and I do each other's) the limit has to be £25 per box. There's usually jammies, bath bomb, snowman soup, reindeer food, an activity and some chocolate. We have Amazon prime, Netflix and sky cinema so I refuse to buy dvds!

 

[fionagrace]

We do a Christmas week box.
We bought a big christmas crate and each year put in all of our christmas DVDs and books, Santa's magic key and all of the kids Christmas teddies.
Then every year we add some new bits.
This year were adding new books, a Christmas annual and
Christmas sticker book for our eldest. Hot chocolate, marshmallows, biscuits, popcorn etc for them to eat when we watch the DVDs and Christmas PJ's for all 3 kids. Probably some other bits too.

I dont usually do one. I normally just give the boys new pj's on Christmas Eve, but I'm thinking that this year I may do a family box. With a dvd, a game, some snacks, some Christmassy bubble bath and their pj's
