Eve boxes & Xmas stockings & Xmas gift

I am looking for suggestions for eve boxes for a 9-year-old boy & 5-year-old girl. The gifts and stockings are all sorted but I don't know what to put in the eve boxes. I am thinking I would maybe cancel eve boxes this year. I think it's all just overindulgence, isn't it? But I am still eager to hear about ideas. Thanks

This year it's large Percy Pig canvas totes and I've filled them with ..

Percy pig kilo jar

Dressing gown
Pyjamas
Pringles
Couple of cans of American pop

Why not, I say. If you want to then do it. If you don't fancy it, don't

Mine get new PJs, which is a tradition passed down from DH. They also get a tree decoration each, hot chocolate and some form of chocolate. We chuck in things like Santa plate/cup, a Christmas book etc that we already have. They love it, and it’s not ‘a marketing concept,’ for us, it’s DHs family tradition going back decades, combined with mine - which is the sniffling/Xmas book/hot chocolate bit.
