When I grew up, my family always opened our gifts from each other on Christmas Eve, and we opened Santa’s presents on Christmas morning. This was one of our family traditions, and I carried it into my family. My kids always look forward to opening a few things on Christmas Eve and opening the rest on Christmas morning.

There are no specific rules to what you can put into a box. It’s really up to you and the traditions you want to start. An example of a themed gift box might look like this:

  • A holiday movie like The Santa Clause, Elf, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Home Alone, something that is perfect for any age or group of family members.
  • Snacks – whether it’s snuggling up by the fire, watching the movie, playing board games, snacks always go over well. Try things like hot chocolate, popcorn, hot apple cider, or even chocolate fondue.
  • Games – These can be games for the whole family to play together.
  • A Christmas Book – examples might include Twas the Night Before Christmas, or The Polar Express
  • Pajamas – it’s become very trendy to open a box where everyone has a new set of matching pajamas to wear on Christmas together.

  • A Book – A Christmas Carol is a classic and time honored tradition.
  • Blanket – who doesn’t love to snuggle up under a warm and fuzzy blanket.
