With Christmas less than six weeks away, I thought I would share what’s in Sophie’s Christmas Eve Basket. I came across the idea last year and thought it would make a lovely family tradition. Sophie really enjoyed going through it and I can’t wait to give her this one on Christmas Eve! Since I’ve had a bit more time to think about it and Sophie is obviously a bit older this year, there are a few more items which I could include. I hope this gives you some ideas!
The Night Before Christmas book, Snowman and The Snowdog DVD, Frozen colouring book
Santa’s plate & milk bottle, Matalan
Socks, wand, LED reindeer
Chocolate coins, lollipop and chocolate snowdog, festive biscuits, Santa’s magic key
Are you doing a Christmas Eve Basket this year?
Oooh you've given me a few ideas for our little boys Christmas Eve box. We've already got some pyjamas, The Night Before Christmas book and a plate to put treats on for Santa and Rudolph. Love the LED reindeer and the Santa key. It's the first Christmas Eve box we're putting together as Rowan was only 5 months old last year! Thanks for sharing and I'm sure your little girl will love it 💕 x
Oh I'm glad this gave you some ideas! I think it's a lovely tradition :). I hope Sophie loves opening her basket on Christmas Eve! xx
Awww this is sooo cute! I love the PJs!! And The Snowman DVD (and book) is a must!! Have you watched the Snowman and the Snowdog? That is fab too 🙂
Gemma xx
Thank you! We've got the book and both DVD's, the older one and newer one :). I can't wait to watch them xx
I love everything you have put together here! I will be fixing one up for my daughter and can't wait to watch her open it. I'm still searching for ideas though because she doesn't eat candy and doesn't like watching tv, so movies are out. Haha, who knew it would be difficult to get kids to watch tv and eat a little chocolate? She's only 19 months old so I'm sure she'll get the hang of it soon. Do you think it's too boring if I put a new toothbrush in there? She absolutely loves brushing her teeth and her current t one is a bit worn out. Thanks for the other great ideas though, pjs are a must!
Thank you Danielle! 🙂 I think it's a lovely tradition and I love putting it together! No not at all 🙂 if it's something you know she will like, then go for it! Instead of a DVD you could put a few books and colouring book or something 🙂 xx
Oh I need to get a move on with starting my girls' Christmas eve box! I love everything you've put in Sophie;s box – the socks are adorable! I was looking at them on NEXT last night! So cute. x
I can't wait to see what you put in Mia and Elliw's box! Thank you 🙂 they're so cute aren't they?! xx
I love this new tradition of Christmas Eve boxes, my Sister is actually making Abbie's this year as her present, i'm excited to see what she puts in it! 🙂 x
Me too :). Aaw that's a lovely idea xx
I think this is a great idea, we started doing it a couple of years ago. So far I've got christmas PJ's, new dressing gowns and then a christmas book and DVD we can share as a family on Christmas eve. #love2blog
I think it's lovely :). How exciting, I love Christmas!! xx
Oh what great picks. I love the milk bottle. I got a place mat for Matthew and chloe to use on Christmas Eve. We don't so Xmas baskets to be honest. But I'm planning to to introduce st. Nicholas to Matthew on 6th December. It's a German tradition.
Thank you :). Oh that's a lovely idea xx
I did one for Pickle (who is now three) and my teens too. They LOVED it – we had it in the morning of Christmas Eve. It cost me a fortune though! Kaz x
I love how you can do it for all ages! It's such a nice tradition, I can't wait to do it every year! xx
Love this!!! I do Amelia a similar thing but give it to her at the beginning of december as like a Christmas countdown box! The pjs are so cute. I love the snowman and the snowdog chocolate I've got Amelia some for her stocking! I need to get to Matalan and check out the plate and milk bottle, love love them! xx
Aaw I love that idea! I saw other people with the Santa plate and bottle and HAD to buy them myself too! xx
What a lovely idea, we often have the tradition of new christmas pyjamas and a new book. This is great x
Thank you :). Aaw that's lovely! xx
Oh I love it, the pj's are the cutest ever and the little wand, adorable! We do a Christmas eve box too, this year I'm working really hard to make it her best yet!
Thank you! The wand was £4 from Next :). I'm sure it will be fab! xx
Oh what a lovely basket! I've never done this before but I've seen a few bloggers do it and I think it a fab idea. I'm definitely getting that Santa plate from Matalan! X
Thank you :). I think it's a lovely tradition to start but I know it's not for everyone. The santa plate and bottle are only £8! 🙂 xx
Gorgeous idea and what lovely things. I have never done a Christmas Eve basket but this has really tempted me. Your daughters going to be made up 🙂
Thank you :). I'd definitely recommend making one, you don't have to spend much either and Sophie loved opening hers last year! xx
What a cute idea 🙂 I doubt I will be making a Christmas Eve box as we often celebrate it with a big meal, but there are some really cute things I might use as ideas for stockings and Christmas gifts 🙂
Aaw that will be lovely :). Thank you, I'm glad this gave you a few ideas 🙂 xx
Ahhh this is lovely!! 🙂 I did a Christmas eve box last year for Tyne and he absolutely loved it! This year I've decided to do a family box instead of giving him and Noah one each (Coz theyre gonna be a bit overwhelmed with presents the next day!), so it will include all of our new xmas eve pjs, a film to watch, some xmas books to read, a Santa key, reindeer food, some chocolate treats and "Snowman Soup"! xx
Thank you Hayley! Aaw that will be lovely and I love the idea of Snowman soup! 🙂 xx
We do this as well its great fun. My husband is Danish so they open their presents on the 24th. We wanted to stick to opening presents Christmas day with our kids, so a Christmas Eve box is the perfect compromise!
Some gorgeous items! I particularly love the polar bear pyjamas!
