Christmas Eve hampers/boxes

[BuntyCollocks]

What do you use to contain all the various accoutrements? A normal scabby cardboard box? Something fancier? Help!

[TheDrugsDontWork]

What about a wicker hamper/box? Then you can arrange everything inside, maybe line it first with material (perhaps red/red check as it's for Christmas?) and you could add a ribbon. I think if you Google you should find some inspiration

[TheDrugsDontWork]

I meant wicker BASKET/box, not hamper!

The elves judt leave a gift bag with the pjs, dvd etc all wrapped up and the guft label reminds them to go to bed early!

I'm putting the my DCs Christmas Eve stuff in a big Christmas gift bag from home bargains. Annual each, chocolate Santa, Christmas socks, reindeer food and a "voucher" for takeaway pizza for tea. Oh and a note from the elves advising them the quicker they go to bed and then to sleep that night the quicker it will be Christmas Day.

Big cardboard box that I wrap in nice Christmas paper. I can't find a big enough box that doesn't cost ££ so I have to do it that way.

I have a somewhat Christmassy storage box that holds decorations most of the yer but is usefully empty over Christmas, so I use that. Just big enough now that there are 3 pairs pjs to include, but dd knows that is from me anyway so no fear of getting caught out.

I've got a Christmas ornament storage box fronm Dunhelm. Cost £3.50 and is decorated with snowmen x

I've bought the gorgeous Christmas boxes from Homesense / TKMaxx the last couple of years. They are strong enough to store things in after.

This year I bought some plastic wicker-look baskets from Dainsburys (50% off) so they can be used as waste paper bins or similar after.

Large roll of cellophane to wrap it up and a ribbon on top

[BuntyCollocks]

Some brilliant ideas! Have bought that basket, raisah, and now hold you responsible for the fact I've just sunk £50 on more presents, too

[BuntyCollocks]

Thank you all!

[raisah]

You are very welcome! I am very glad that a little girl will be happy playing dress up on Christmas day!

[raisah]

Haha just realised that I mixed 2 threads up! Someone else wanted a basket for their dds dressing up box & I mentioned this basket too.

Anyway I hope the basket is appreciated & I hope you got one for yourself to keep.
