What are Christmas Eve boxes?
Seen as part of the German tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Eve, it has now become popular in the US and UK to get into the festive spirit early with a box of goodies. These are usually small gifts given on December 24th.
Often offered together in a personalized box or crate, you can make your own by recycling something you already have, or alternatively, there are many options such as NotOnTheHighStreet and Etsy that can then be used year after year.
