Christmas Eve box’s

[Floridatilly]

I actually give my children Christmas pj’s on the 1st December so that they can wear them all December (otherwise I feel I have not had much money worth out of them &#129315

So no pj’s in the Christmas eve box. They now have loads of Christmas DVD’s so I am at a loss for what can go in their box this year.
Last year consisted of chocolates & biscuits so not very exciting.
My children are 17 (girl) 14 & 7 (boys)

Any ideas?
What is going in your Christmas Eve box?

Totally agree with the Christmas pjs, I do however put another new none Christmas pair in my DD who will be 20 this year !
Last year I put in a novelty hot water bottle, a reusable water bottle, she uses one of these every day so a good buy.
Also new bed socks , Percy pigs and a little bag of chocs , hope this gives you a few ideas

I like to do a hot chocolate kit and a new mug to go with it. I have also made a hot chocolate spoon too which was delicious! You could maybe add a microwave popcorn pack and some homemade chocolate bark. Nice snuggly socks, a new book and a personalised tree decoration. Ooh I love getting ready for Christmas 🎄

I don’t really do a Christmas Eve box, I do a North Pole breakfast on 1st Dec instead. The elf arrives, advent calendar, Christmas pj’s, bath bomb, book and maybe some Christmassy crafty bits to see us through December. I bought some brilliant goodies from chunkydunkchocs on Instagram - amazing!

My daughter has actually been hinting for a hot water bottle so that’s perfect 👌

I have also just thought of some really funny/cheesy Christmas socks & underwear (washed ready to wear) and insist they wear them in Christmas day 🤣🤣

I do pj's on the 1st too

our xmas eve box usually has
hot choc/milkshake mix(snowman soup) and new cups/mugs
popcorn/snacks for our xmas eve movie (I don't bother with dvd's anymore unless something new is out)
bath bomb or similar
fluffy socks
xmas eve book for youngest (we have one of the santa's on his way to... ones I reuse each year )
xmas crackers - homemade
plate for santa's snacks & reindeer food
cookie/cake making kit - to make for santa
thank you letter kit - old fashioned I know but I feel it means more when they take the time to write it.
treat for the dog so he's not left out

when they were younger I put in things like art/craft sets or a new board game to keep them occupied during the day

They are really easy to make. I use a silicone ice cube tray and wooden spoons - they do lovely printed ones that look really fun. I then melt chocolate, we use Lindt because it melts into the warm milk beautifully you then pour the melted chocolate into the tray, pop in a spoon and you can then top it with marshmallows or crushed candy canes or even chocolate chips! Refrigerate and then pop into a candy bag and tie with a ribbon.

I grabbed these pics from the internet just to add, mine had way more chocolate than the pics below!
