I have always made Christmas Eve boxes for my two sons, but have made Christmas Eve bags for the past few years. I refuse to buy wooden boxes because they take up too much space and are a nightmare to store, and they can be very expensive. So I have two bags I originally bought from Poundland that I take out every year, fill them with some cheap gifts, and when I’m done I can fold them up neatly for next year.
I know many of you lovely readers also love putting together Christmas Eve boxes for your little ones, so we’ve put together some of our little finds that I think would make perfect additions to any Christmas Eve box/bag, but They don’t go bankrupt.
You can also get tons of Christmas shopping inspiration from our gift guide! – Christmas gifts for kids, gotta give him a christmas present, gotta give her a christmas present and Christmas gifts for dogs.
