Christmas Eve Box Ideas and the Elf Arrival Box (Sorted in November)
Two traditions have taken over December in the last few years: the elf who arrives on the first, and the box that gets opened on Christmas Eve. Both are lovely, both are cheaper than they look on Instagram, and both are much easier if you sort them in November. Here is what we put in ours. 🧝
The elf arrival box 🎁
The elf needs to arrive in something, and we make the boxes ourselves. The Christmas Elf Arrival House Box x 1 is a little card house with a door, the Christmas Elves House Box x 1 is the version for two elves, the Christmas Elf Arrival Gift Box x 1 is a gift box with a window and the Pink Elf Arrival House Box with Handles x 1 is the pink one with handles. They are a few pounds each and there are only a handful of each left, so if your elf is due on the first, order now.
Inside the box with the elf: a letter, a Christmas sticker or two and a candy cane. The elf then brings one small thing a week from the stocking filler list - a sheet of the Christmas tattoos, a hair clip, a bow tattoo.
What to put in a Christmas Eve box 📦
Keep it to five things. Something to wear, something to do, something to eat, something to read and something for the morning.
| Something to... | What we use |
|---|---|
| Wear | A velvet antler headband or the Velvet Bow Antlers Christmas Headband |
| Do | The Christmas Colouring Posters x 2 and a packet of crayons, or the Festive House Christmas Cupcake Kit x 24 to decorate Santa's mince pies |
| Eat | Hot chocolate, marshmallows and a gingerbread man |
| Read | The Christmas book, new pyjamas folded on top |
| The morning | A fill-your-own cracker with a note in it for breakfast |
The box itself: the Striped Mixed Medium Christmas Gift Bags x 3 if you want a bag, or any plain box with a red velvet bow tied around it.
Christmas Eve tea 🎅
If Christmas Eve is the children's Christmas dinner, do it on the Santa Claus Christmas Party Plates x 8 - Santa's face is the plate - with the Christmas Colour In Activity Party Tablecloth underneath so they can colour while the grown-ups finish wrapping. The Sitting Gingerbread Man Foil Balloon sitting on the end of the table is the thing they remember.
Santa's plate 🥛
One of the Gingerbread House Christmas Party Plates x 8 for the mince pie, a carrot, and a velvet bow place card that says Santa. Photograph it before bed; it is the one photo from Christmas you will still have in ten years.
