Were Christmas Eve boxes not enough?!

I’ve just seen these advertised on Facebook. Is this a thing now? Must we have a cutesy box for every single calendar event? Where are people keeping these crates as they endlessly accumulate?

Urgh. Totally agree. All so over the top and bad for the environment too. I've really tried to cut down on unnecessary stuff.

Valentines boxes????? Totally cringe 😬

I saw this ad.....it's £30 or something ridiculous for the crate ONLY you aren't even getting the contents!

We do an Easter egg hunt of the weather is nice and leave it at that 🤷‍♀️

You could have one crate and tie a suitable label on it for each occasion!
