Anyone else going Christmas Eve hampers?

[cheesypastaplease]

So what's in yours?

I have for dcs:
New pjs
Character bubble bath
Toothbrushes
Bubbles
Expanding facecloth
Chocolate Santa
Bottle with their name
New personalised Santa sack

I didn't mean to get so much but got carried away completely!

I have also done for dh with:
Loungewear bottoms
Superhero tshirt
Superman boxers
Radix
Chocolate Santa
Bottle of beer
Bottle opener that plays his football teams anthem

They will be waiting in the living room when we return from our walk on Christmas Eve, I think I'm more excited for this than Christmas morning!

Yes! There will be new personalised stockings, Christmas pjs, cups, book, and hot chocolate. Couple more bits not got yet.

no just giving a new stocking and red xmassy night dress...

Oops t

That's everything I put in a stocking! What do you then put in stocking? Brought ds's some new pjs to go in stocking, £40 each. Xmas eve hampers would cost me a fortune

I do a mini one - it just has pyjamas for both and a DVD (polar express), sweeties and reindeer dust/food. It's not in a hamper as such either, just a Christmas bag.

Double title should say doing!

Yes but just for DS. Pyjamas, hot chocolate, marshmallows, squirty cream, a cup with a big saucer for biscuits, a Christmas decoration for the tree, book, dvd, cuddly toy and a new night light.

Pyjamas
Slipper socks
Spongebob toothbrushes
Death Star soap
Lush play-doh style soap/bubble bath/shampoo
Hot chocolate
Giant marshmallows
Big bag of sweeties
Pringles
Spongebob sweets
Spongebob DVD boxset
Spongebob xbox 360 game
Mini cans of fizzy pop
Nutella
Santa activity packs
Santa plates
Table-top table tennis game
Superman Pez

There's some other stuff but it's all wrapped so I can't remember.

And I don't care about the judging I'll get for giving them so much on Christmas Eve. I've mentioned 234 times on here before but the box is from my DS2 who was stillborn. My DS's think Santa gives their brother magic so he can deliver a box of goodies. I spend loads as I don't get to buy for my DS2 so put it all in to doing a special box so we can bring him into the day in a happy way. They talk about him/the box all year and it makes me happy.

That is a lovely thing to do. I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you, NewChoos

OvO

I did think it a bit much for xmas eve until you explained. Bother what others think or say. I think it is a beautiful thought out plan and am so sorry for your loss. x

Ovo, that's lovely.

We don't do hampers but the elf disappears and leaves a note, with a Lindt chocolate Santa and a Lush bath bomb.

Thank you too, MoreThan and Taffeta.
I was prepared for flames so it's lovely that you've all been so kind.

Ovo that is so lovely.

We moved to Sweden, where Tomte (Santa) visits on Xmas Eve, just as DH goes to the toilet. He chats with the DCs and gives them presents. I'm doing pyjamas, toothbrushes and new towels. Then he leaves and DH comes out of the toilet, having missed seeing Tomte. He will never learn to hols on and not go to the toilet just after Donald Duck on Xmas eve.

OvO that is lovely.

Yes, for DS, DH and I and my DPs. They are supplying their own PJs, we have new PJ bottoms, hot chocolate for DS, Baileys for the adults, box of Heroes, chestnuts for the fire and a gingerbread house.
It's the first time we will do it, the first Christmas in iur new house and probably the last Christmas DS has any kind of Christmas belief left

OvO - that's a lovely way to bring your DS2 into your Christmases.

I do a Christmas bag (this year will be bear and hare bag) with:

Pyjamas for both the DCs
Christmas wand things from LUSH
2 x DVDs
Lost My Name books for both the DCs
Christmas colouring books
Christmas lip balm
2 x jelly beans in little gingerbread houses from Harrods (twitch purchase)

And I might get some salt and vinegar Pringles as they are DS's latest obsession and he's not allowed them very often.

Oh, I forgot, and 2 x Snowman shaped bottles of bubble bath

Yup...DDs get new pjs, a snowman chocolate bar and one gets Night Before Xmas book and the other Polar Express dvd

Yes but only for the kids. In it this year is:

Xmas Lego story book
Xmas pop up book
Father Christmas trumps book
Chocolate coins
Disney tree decoration each
Xmas DVD
New pjs each
Something else I've forgotten

OvO that is a lovely idea to keep your ds included. Your ds's must get do excited about receiving it.

art I don't bother with stockings!

Yes in Xmas eve hamper (when should I give it as we won't be back til late Xmas eve after dinner at my parents?) the kids have new pjs,slippers,dressing gown,DVD,book and chocolate penguin/bear each.

OvO that is beautiful, what a heartfelt and magical way to remember those we have lost.

Ovo, that bought tears to my eyes. How lovely .

My boys will be getting new PJs and a book. This year they are getting a new duvet cover too, as they haven't had one for years.

It's their Christmas Eve presents arriving that they talk most about through the year .
