Christmas Eve is a special time filled with anticipation and joy. One way to make it even more magical is by creating a Christmas Eve box. This delightful tradition involves filling a box with goodies and treats to enjoy on the night before Christmas. Here are some essential items to include in your perfect Christmas Eve box:
Include custom jigsaw puzzles with a holiday theme. Personalised puzzles featuring a family photo, a memorable holiday scene, or a festive design can provide hours of entertainment and bring the family together for some fun, interactive time.
Include a Christmas-themed book for a lovely bedtime story. Classics like "The Night Before Christmas" or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" are always a hit. For adults, consider a holiday romance or a collection of Christmas short stories.
Fill the box with an assortment of Christmas treats like gingerbread cookies, candy canes, and chocolate truffles. These sweet delights are perfect for munching on while watching a holiday movie or reading a book.
A classic holiday movie is a must. Whether it’s "Elf," "Home Alone," or "A Christmas Carol," a festive film can bring everyone together for some heartwarming entertainment. Include a DVD or a note with streaming instructions.
For families with children, a Christmas craft kit can be a great addition. Include materials and instructions for making ornaments, decorating cookies, or creating holiday cards. Crafting together can create lasting memories.
A Christmas-scented candle can enhance the festive atmosphere. Choose scents like cinnamon, pine, or gingerbread to fill your home with the warm and inviting smells of the season.
Add a personalised note or letter to each family member. Express your love and excitement for the holiday, and maybe even include a clue about a special gift they'll receive the next day.
Create a playlist of your favourite Christmas songs and include a link or a USB drive with the music. Playing these tunes can make the evening even more festive and joyous.
