What is in your DC December 1st box?

[TinyPhotoFrames]

I've got DD:
Christmas bedspread
Julia Donaldson book advent
Wooden keepsake advent
Elf on the shelf activities book
Little Miss Christmas book
Reindeer headband
Christmas PJs

Baby DS has got a white chocolate calender, a wooden keepsake advent and PJs.

We have a 1st December 'launch' of Xmas but it's generally just getting out the stuff we already have:

Xmas duvets on
Xmas cushions out
Xmas tablecloth
Bowls, plates and mugs

This year they both have new elf slippers as theirs are too small and it's cold! I've also got a couple of Xmas onesies from Vinted.

They get these on 1st Dec so they get more wear out of them!

Oh yes.. that’s what we did last year for our baby’s first Christmas

this year it’s Bentleys. One for every day or December

what a load of shite! Who the F does a Christmas 1st box, got to be a wind up.

They are enjoying it, I would say the people sat refusing to talk or listen to others talk excitedly about their experience seem more like they're not enjoying it.

Ooh yes, do a Se7en inspired one - "what's in the boxxx??"

Thank god for all the “you what” responses 😂

I much prefer it as it then means they get lots of wear out of the PJ's through December

As opposed to receiving PJ’s for Christmas that they can wear throughout the year you mean?? 🤔

They get Christmas PJ's and my husband will only let them wear them in December 😂

Ah.. ok… I’m sure he’ll wise up 🙄😬

I don’t do a box as we do a Xmas eve one instead but I give mine an advent calendar and advent candle, letter sets to write wish lists (home bargains) and a pack of Xmas cards so they can write some to family/friends if they wish

Nothing about my previous thread suggests I'm poor.
I live in a village that has been repeatedly expanded by new build estates. So I live on a new estate meaning there isn't a close town etc. The nearest town is down and out. That doesn't mean I am! I asked about free things as I was on maternity leave. I'm not now 🤷🏻‍♀️

No wonder the planet is fucked. Breeding over-consumers.

I don’t know anyone who does this. Never heard of it. Where does this idea come from?

You mean they don't get to wear them right up to Twelfth Night!?

*Nothing in my previous thread suggests I’m poor”

Two months ago, you started a thread called “Being poor is” and posted about being poor.

I genuinely had no idea what this was and had to Google it. Still think it's ridiculous and unnecessary.

Oh behave

I give DD stuff on December 1st like Christmas Pjs and maybe a bow or something for school so she gets more use out of it.
Oh and Christmas bedding.

Is Nethuns still going? Asking for a friend ...

That other thread certainly makes it sound like you're poor OP so that's where and how you've suggested it.

Our children ‘find’ the Christmas stuff in a basket on the 1st. It contains advent calendars and then the Christmas books, games, mugs, etc which we reuse every year.
I don’t do Christmas specific clothes or bedding because a month isn’t long enough to get good use out of it.

Honestly OP, you don't need to do a Dec 1st box. In fact, you'd be crackers to do one.
Your DC won't notice. You'll save money. You'll save landfill.

No, I have never heard of a December 1st box, and until running across the Christmas Eve box thing here I had never heard of that either.

Advent candle

The biggest question though..... What does everyone put in their December 2nd box??????

It's not in a box though
