Can anyone recommend any companies that do the Christmas Eve boxes and the plates that you leave out your treat/drink for FC please?

My little boy is 3 and now really understands so want to make some family traditions with him now

So many FB selling group horrors so really want to find a decent one!
Happy to order online but I'm in Kent/SE London to potentially collect

Christmas haters need not apply Grin

I got our plate from eBay. It was about £12 I think. There's loads on there.

Oh. Apparently Matalan have some nice boxes. Might be worth looking at?

HomeSense/ TKMaxx do some lovely thick card boxes (either tie with ribbon or a hefty magnet)
Different sizes.
D'you want to keep the box for years to come? Store it away?
Or do a one-year-only type , cover a large-ish box in nice wrapping paper and wrap in cellophane ( not clingfilm as DH bought for me. Not the same Xmas Hmm )

Plates - HomeSense, Matalan,
Or why not buy a plain plate and let your DS paint a pattern ?

You can get your own boxes from Hobbycraft if your near one £10- you can get a jazzed up one for more but I don't have any recommendations sorry !!

I was thinking of just getting a simple hobbycraft one or a cardboard gift box which they are selling in B&M

I am very frugal 😄

Thanks everyone, I've bought one, I'm super excited, DH is just eye rolling me and muttering things about it being September still 🤦🏽‍♀️

I went for this,

We did our own plate at one of those paint your own pottery places.
Our box is just a wicker hamper that we actually got free when we bought the house, it was a gimmick from Halifax mortgage company.
