Adults Christmas Eve Box?

8 replies

I was just wondering if anyone had ever done one of these before? I fancied doing one for DH and I as he has been a great support for me this year (recurrent MC, failed IVF etc). We generally go out but this year we will be staying in for a cozy one. Any ideas what to put in?

p.s. know they are not everyone's cup of tea, just looking for inspiration.

Comfy pjs, Christmas quilt cover, dvd, chocolates, Baileys, Christmas socks (saw charity ones in TKmaxx today) a daft game or silly hat maybe?

As part of our family Christmas Eve box, we all get new PJs, naice hot choc to suit our different tastes, DD and I get Lush festive bath bombs, sometimes we get DH a really nice shower gel, and sometimes I add in a Christmas or Winter beer (look in speciality off licences in particular, but some high street ones are starting to carry a limited range of seasonal beers).

I also get a bag of Leonidas orangettes for us all for Christmas, as we are not big fans of Celebrations or Quality Street or Roses.

A good book
Naice biscuits
Bottle of LBV port
Posh popcorn (Joe & Sephs)
Old fashioned sweets, mint humbugs for instance, or childhood sweets like sherbert fountains.
A bottle of beer with the right glass, often gift boxed at Christmas

I knew someone would say hot chocolate...

Sorry greyhound - DH actually likes hot choc so that's why I give it to him. But along with a beer most years! Xmas Grin (And I was only giving our own family box as an example).

Thanks for the ideas. Whilst researching Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate I came across an awesome chocolate dipping set that I have now ordered.

Love Joe and Seph's popcorn too so going to get some of that too.

Thank you!

I did Christmas Eve boxes for my DH, DM, DF and MIL last year, they each received the following:

  • fave choc bar each
  • fave miniature (whisky/port/baileys)
  • pair of festive socks
  • small pot of Lego for the men (build your own in the Lego shop)
  • book each for the mums
  • festive scratch card
  • posh popcorn
  • personalised blanket
  • head boppers for Xmas morning hot tub!
