Family gift box???

8 replies

Flicitytricity · 01/12/2025 15:44

We are having a family get together just before Christmas, main gifts already arranged, but I thought it would be nice to do a shared box each.
So, 3 families:
Family 1 = 2 adults, foodies
Family 2= 2 adults, both men, lots of eating and drinking
Family 3 = 2 adults, 1 child aged 10. No real interests beyond family stuff.

So far, for each box, I've thought of lovely socks for everyone, posh chocs to share, lottery ticket each, a silly game to share, and a 'targetted' bottle of something for each family.

Can anyone come up with more, or different ideas?

What are 'lovely socks'? If they are 100% cotton great, if they are polyester- no thanks.

Obviously depends on the recipients:
-Flavoured biltong, pork scratchings or jerky
-Individually flavoured jelly beans https://www.aldi.co.uk/product/dominion-original-jelly-beans-000000000400448001
-Bacon jam
-Hibiscus flowers in syrup go well in fizz
-Chocolate oranges
-Box of after eights
-Bottle of wine or fizz
-Card game

Merino wool socks😁
They're expensive, but we're all wankers, so worth the money😁
Jelly beans a great call and bacon jam a great call - thank you!

I think so too… but it’s the best typo 🤣

I like the idea and would probably be stealing it, thanks for the inspiration!
Socks or mittens are a great idea
Chocolate coins
Big packs of marshmallow
Something personalized like family photo calendars maybe? You can add birthdays in there and wedding anniversaries if you know the exact days.
Tea or coffee gift sets of various flavours?

Oh God 😳 WALKERS!

Although, come to think of it.....🤣

Forgot about photo calendars, we used to do them years ago - great call!
Mugs and hot choc, also spot on.

Thanks all, great ideas😁
