Our Favourite Christmas Eve Box Ideas For Adults and Children
Why wait for Christmas Day to spread a little Christmas magic? If you’re like us and you can’t wait to give a special gift (and open one too!) then you’ll love the idea of one of our favourite Christmas traditions - the Christmas Eve box gift.
It’s the perfect excuse to spread even more joy, cosy up with your loved ones and give a few small and special gifts before Father Christmas himself arrives on the 25th December.
We’re here to help you with Christmas Eve box fillers for children and adults, so you can get your boxes filled with jewellery goodies that they’ll love to open a day early. For more inspiration on presents for the big day, discover our Christmas Gift Guide.
What is a Christmas Eve box?
What began as giving one gift from under the tree on Christmas Eve night to your loved one, has now expanded into giving a Christmas Eve box that you fill up yourself with treats. It’s the perfect way to start the Christmas magic early with your loved ones. Your Christmas Eve box can be as big or small as you want it to be, it’s completely up to you. Just fill a gift box with treats and you’re ready to surprise someone special. Or simply surprise them with the best box of all - a Beaverbrooks box, with beautiful jewellery inside.
How much should I spend on a Christmas Eve box?
It’s completely up to you how much you spend on your Christmas Eve box. You can buy extra gifts especially, or simply just put a few Christmas presents to one side and package them up in a box for an early treat. Think of them a little like an early stocking filler. The only difference is you’ll be placing your treats in a box and letting your loved one open it up a day early. But if you are looking for a specific budget, as Christmas Eve boxes fillers are usually smaller gifts, we’d generally say that pieces less expensive than the ones you’ve got planned for the big day are perfect.
