Xmas Eve box for my dsis

I need some inspiration!

My dsis loves the idea of Xmas Eve boxes, rather than presents on Xmas day, after splitting with her ex who got very perfectionist and stressful about a proper 'traditional' Xmas day.

Obviously I have been happy to do this for her. In the last two years I've out together a soft basket with pamper items in (vegan, because that's important to her) and a reading gift box, with a book token (told her to open that one in advance!), a box light, snuggly socks etc.

It's much easier putting them together with plenty of time but I'm stuck for a theme this year. Any ideas??

Could you do a movie night one, dvd, PJ's, slippers, wine and treats? My other idea would be a creative one - adult colouring book, nice pens, pencils, notebook, craft activity (I'd still add wine and PJ's)

art or craft

you could go towards stationary, so pens / paper / pencils / diary /

or craft & sewing, so yarn / knitting needles / scissors /

or art, so paints, paint brushes, watercolour paper

or even cooking - small cookbook, apron, posh ingredients, cake tin

there are lots of possibilities in that direction

Thanks so much for your ideas! I shall be using all these over the next few years! Love the movie night and mindfulness ideas 😁 She's a gin lady rather than Prosecco and that's an idea too 😃

She quite artistic and already makes her own clothes so I could speak to my DM (who paints) for ideas of what art stuff she is into at the moment or my other Dsis (who sews) about ideas for that.

This is great, I was stumped, glad I turned to the powers of Xmas MN 🤶

I think a mixed box sounds lovely… snuggly pyjamas, Christmas socks, vegan sweet treat, small gin, silk scrunchies, candle, fancy lip gloss, new book.

It sounds fab doesn't it? I could do with one myself 😁
