What To Put In A Christmas Eve Box

Christmas Eve Boxes have become incredibly popular in the last couple of years.  They’ve become a bit of a tradition with parents and partners up and down the country lovingly filling boxes with small gifts to get the big day started early. 

To make pulling together a Christmas Eve Box a little easier, we’ve curated a list of things to put in it. We’ve got everything from cute crafts to classic Christmas books -  so whether you’re making it for your kids, partners or parents, there’ll be something for everyone.

Cute, small and cheap - this small friendship bracelet is a great gift to include in your kid's Christmas Eve Box. The bracelet comes complete with colourful charms on a woven thread. If you want to make it extra special, you can add a little note from one of the elves or Santa asking them to be their friend. Or you can get matching sets so they can give them out to friends, or if you’re really lucky, they might give it to you.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the perfect gift for a Star Wars fan. Especially if you’re not that into it yourself. So why not take a little bit of the pressure off by getting this Bitty Pop! Star Wars Mystery Mini Figure. The pack contains a teeny tiny version of one of their favourite characters for them to display. The only problem is that you and they don’t know which one, which adds a layer of excitement to opening it and also removes the pressure of getting the right one.
