Get a Box!

First up, you’ll need a box. Depending on how much stuff you want to put in really depends how big your box is. For quick, DIY box ideas, keep some of your Amazon deliveries and wrap the box in Christmas paper.

Although these ones on Amazon are less than a tenner and can be personalised!

Pop Stuff in your Box!

Now the hardest bit (not) is finding more stuff to buy to fill your box with. Tip – start early. Don’t leave it until Christmas Eve or you’re just asking for trouble! Here are some ideas for what to put in your box. And remember, it doesn’t have to cost lots.

Yummy Treats!

A mince pie ready for Father Christmas.

A carrot for the reindeer.

Reindeer food or dust. Just make sure you use edible glitter or coloured sugar!

Maybe a miniature whiskey/brandy/gin (whatever your Christmas tipple is) to leave out for Father Christmas!

A Satsuma.
