Christmas Eve Box Ideas

Do you plan on doing a Christmas Eve box this year? We have some lovely little inexpensive Christmas Eve box ideas to hopefully give you some inspiration.

Books are a great addition to a Christmas Eve box, just like *Wild Symphony by Dan Brown published by Penguin.
Travel through the trees and across the seas with Maestro Mouse and his musical friends! Young readers will meet a big blue whale and speedy cheetahs, tiny beetles and graceful swans. Each has a special secret to share. Children and adults can enjoy this timeless picture book as a traditional read along, or can choose to listen to original musical compositions as they read using a free interactive smartphone app.

Another fab book for older kids is *The Danger Gang by Tom Fletcher. Franky can’t wait to move to his new town – although he wishes he didn’t have to leave his best friend Dani behind. But everything changes after the storm, when strange green lightning and powerful thunder crash down on the town. From that night on, the kids who live on Franky’s street start to change. One by one, they become a little odd. A little unusual. A little… magical.

Orchard Toys have the most lovely children’s games and puzzles. They not only make fun activities, they are educational too and that’s why we love them. This gorgeous Orchard Toys Christmas Eve box will get the kids into the festive spirit. The box features a Christmas stocking style shopping list game and a 20-piece jigsaw puzzle.

The *UKick from Wicked is a fun Keepie uppie type of toy for ages 6+ years. Fusing elements of badminton and street football, the aim is to keep Wicked UKick off the ground for as long as you can. Available in three colour themes – Patriot, Hero and Mad Dog.

For some yoyo fun there is the *Duncan Pulse Professional Light Up YoYo. The whole family can have fun learning new tricks with the ultra fast ball-bearing axle, whilst giving off a pretty display of colours and patterns with the built in light technology. Suitable for 6+years.

I always include some colouring in goodies in my boys boxes. I think it’s a nice calming activity for them to do on the run up to the big day. These *Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 are great for little hands to hold. They can be used as they are to colour in or add water to transform them into paints. You can even decorate the windows as it easily wipes off afterwards, perhaps leave a message for Santa!

Last but not least, some snuggly Christmas Eve pyjamas. I always include some pj’s in my boys Christmas Eve boxes. I got these adorable Santa print pyjamas from Next. I do get a lot of the boys clothes from there as they are always good quality and wash and wear really well.

I also make up a hot chocolate mix along with some marshmallows so the kids can have a nice hot drink whilst watching some Christmas movies on Christmas Eve. They make great gifts too!

Do you have Christmas Eve boxes in your house? Or perhaps you think stocking fillers are ample.
