How To Put Together A Christmas Eve Box For Your Child

‘Twas the night before Christmas…

A Christmas Eve Box is a small box filled with gifts traditionally given to children the evening before Christmas Day. It’s a fairly new tradition in the UK, but it’s one that’s growing year on year, making Christmas Eve even more magical. Here’s our guide to the perfect Christmas Eve Box and exactly what to include to make the night before Christmas special!

The Box

Personalisable Family Christmas Eve Box, The Brain Tumour Charity

Editor’s Pick: Brown Bear, Blue Bear & Co

Christmas Eve boxes are meant to make December 24th special, a mix of cosy, comforting, fun and calming gifts that help children unwind before the excitement of Christmas Day. Soft pyjamas, a hot chocolate, a bedtime story, all of that fits perfectly, while Brown Bear brings something extra. Emotional comfort, a sense of security at night, and a personal touch (with recorded messages or scent) that can make bedtime feel even more magical.

Used alongside story time, a Christmas movie or a mug of cocoa, Brown Bear can help turn Christmas Eve into a gentle, memorable night, one your child will always look forward to, year after year.
