Personalised Christmas Eve Boxes

Add to the magic of Christmas Eve with a personalised Christmas Eve box. In a range of festive designs and colours, each one is printed or engraved with your child's name, and comes out every year to hold the treats that make the night before Christmas special.

What Is a Christmas Eve Box?

A Christmas Eve box is a box of small treats given on the evening of the 24th, usually to children, to build excitement and settle them for bed. It grew from the old wish to open just one present early, and it has become a fixture in many British homes. The box is decorated in a festive design, filled by the parents, and either handed over after tea or "discovered" under the tree on Christmas Eve morning.

Personalised Christmas Eve Boxes for Kids and Families

Our range includes wooden Christmas Eve boxes and chests with the name engraved, and printed cardboard designs for lighter budgets. There are large family boxes for households who do it together, and small boxes for each child so nobody has to share. Designs cover Santa, reindeer, gonks, The Snowman and plenty more. Order by mid-December to be sure it arrives in time.

What Do You Put in a Christmas Eve Box?

1. Hot chocolate and marshmallows — the classic, ideally with a personalised mug.
2. New pyjamas — so everyone matches in the Christmas morning photos.
3. A personalised Christmas book — a bedtime story with their name in it. See our personalised Christmas books.
4. A personalised bauble — to hang before Santa arrives; our personalised baubles are made for this.
5. Reindeer food and a Santa key — for the front door on the way to bed.
6. A Christmas film and popcorn — for the evening itself.
7. A note from Santa — confirming the good list, with any conditions attached.

When Do You Give a Christmas Eve Box?

Most families hand it over after tea on Christmas Eve, so the pyjamas go on, the film goes on and bedtime happens roughly on time. Some leave it under the tree to be found on Christmas Eve morning instead. Either works; the point is the ritual, and a box with their name on it is what makes it theirs.
