Hi, for the past few years I've done a big family Xmas eve box for the dc. Now though the eldest are 13 and 15 I'm Planning on doing them a small separate one each, each will have reindeer food, hot choc cone and pj's but I'm stuck on what else I can put in for the teens! The 2 younger dc will have some sort of activity pack in there's.
Wanting to keep it all as cheap and cheerful as possible as really it's just to keep them busy while I start the Xmas day prep! Thanks in advance for all and any ideas Smile

Keep them busy by getting them to help with prep. Peeling tatties or last minute wrapping. A potato peeler or some sellotape maybe?

magazines, travel size board games, playing cards, top trumps, nail varnish,face mask (Depending on boy or girls.)

If you want them out from under your feet I’d suggest a book/dvd or a game.

But at 13 and 15 they could be helping, even if their job is just to keep the younger dc entertained.

DD just gets some festive PJs, fluffy bedsocks and chocolate now she's a bit older.

Was going to say baking but that would probably get them under your feet more!

My eldest will be 16 at Xmas, and still loves decorating gingerbread men and even (adult) colouring books.
She likes kiddy things to play with at Xmas - so do I Grin
You could get a puzzle, mini building kit, playing cards, book/magazine, dvd, tunic cube, board game, bath products, crossword/sudoku and probably loads more!

Any xmas movies they could all watch with a few treats?

bath products they like so they can relax before putting on their new pjs, a nice treat ready for a christmas movie.
