The Christmas Eve Box Tradition

Christmas Eve is easily hands down my absolute favourite day of the year, so I started a new tradition last year and loved it so much and I am ready to go this year so much that I added it to my shop as one of my first products because I love creating them.

What you need first of all is a Christmas Eve Box, you can get these more or less anywhere these days to suit all budgets. I got a decent set of 3 last year on Party City, one that can be re-used, here are a few options to suit all budgets.....

• Wooden Personalised Christmas Eve Box - Jojo Maman Bebe have a fab one for €22, see the link below https://www.jojomamanbebe.ie/wooden-christmas-eve-box-d9849.html

• The Works also do a pack of 3, they look a bit sturdier than the cardboard ones ar €20 for the 3, these are similar to the ones I got last year but ours where chest shaped https://www.theworks.co.uk/IE/p/gift-bags/santas-workshop-christmas-boxes-pack-of-3/5033601571506.html

• Or for those on a budget Party City also have decent sized ones for €2.99 https://www.partycity.ie/seasonal/christmas-eve.aspx?pmo=ch

Once you have the box dilemma sorted, then its down to the fillings. So what I put into Logan's Christmas Eve Box is:

• Pyjamas

• Vest

• Bubble Bath

• Socks

• Bath Toy

• Goodies i.e. Snax and some Chocolate

• A Christmas Tree decoration

• Slippers

• Housecoat

• Reindeer Food

• Personalized Night before Christmas Book (The Works)

• Santa Plate & Milk Glass

• Teddy

• Festive Cup

• Elf DVD

• Extras: this year I have activity books, crayons etc

My go to for bits like this are a multiple of place, The Works, Party City, Party World and Dealz for cheap but decent fillers for the Christmas Eve Boxes.

We also do adult ones in our house so myself and Glenn get one too, the fillers for these are:

• Pyjamas

• Underwear & socks

• Slippers

• Housecoat

• Bath Bomb

• Facemask

• Wine

• Goodies - Cheeseboard, Popcorn etc

• Christmas Mug

• Candy Cane

• Last year I added a Christmas Apron

Little tip is if you don't have Hamper filling paper, I used the leftover wrapping paper to fill it. Just before the baths on Christmas Eve, out came the Christmas Eve Boxes and the rules was bath, new pjs and cuddle up to watch Elf together and eat our Munchies.

Its a tradition I really just love and will definitely continue to do.

Also if you love the idea but don't know where to start, head over to our shop busybeebabyme.com/shop and purchase our version and why not throw in family personalised pjs (which we also do)!!
