Genius Ideas for a Christmas Eve box your kids will love.

Genius Ideas for a Christmas Eve box your kids will love.

For us, the perfect Christmas Eve box is all very hygge, a time to hunker down at home in pure comfort and spend time together, before the excitement of Christmas Day.

We’ve put together some suggestions of what our perfect Christmas Eve Box might hold in case you wanted some inspiration. And spoiler alert – Christmas Eve boxes shouldn’t be just for the kids! (Which is basically me saying, I want one!)

Some new, and freshly washed, PJs. We love these ones by our pals at Lola and Blake Designs. Available in baby to adult sizes so you can all match!


Slippers – and nothing is cuter than these crocheted ones from Eka Wear. Available in baby to adult sizes.


Something to read – a comic, a book, a magazine – just some downtime away from a screen, whatever age you are! You can't go wrong with a Christmas classic, and with a redesigned cover from Bookishly - even better.


A card game – I can highly recommend Exploding Kittens if you haven’t already found this. Very addictive and fun for all ages. Or just a new pack of cards so you can play your own choice of games. We are big fans of QueenG cards for their gender equality and diversity of the royal cards.

A new Christmas decoration. This sweet mouse is handmade from 100% British sheep wool. Proudly wearing a Santa hat this little fellow would hang sweetly from a Christmas tree. From Brown Betty Blue

Or a personalised tree ornament as well, like these polar bear ones from Betsy Benn. 


A little creativity – maybe some origami squares for the older ones, or some watercolour paints (yes – for me again!) or these gorgeous Elf stickers from Elf For Christmas


Some hot chocolate – and delightfully presented maybe like this one from Zac and Lily.

And maybe a mug cosy to keep little hands protected? We love this polar bear one from Chi Chi Moi.

For the grown ups you could add a miniature brandy or rum for extra warmth!


And absolutely include a snack. Either ready made biscuits, or these ones to bake yourself from The Katie Bakes

40 Fun Ideas to Celebrate 40th Birthdays

April 17, 2023

Turning 40 is a milestone that definitely deserves its moment in the spotlight. But it’s one of those life events that’s very personal, and exactly how we want to mark the occasion is a very individual choice, too. The party animals among us might want to go big with an all-out 40th birthday shindig, while others will prefer a more low-key gathering, or will even forgo a formal celebration altogether in favour of a simple day out or unique memento. That’s why we’ve pulled together this selection of ideas (40, in fact!) for celebrating, marking or simply acknowledging a 40th birthday.

Hello world, it's me, Betsy.
Hello world, it's me, Betsy.

Well, hello! If we haven't met before, I'm Betsy, where have you been hiding? Or possibly, more appropriately, where have I been hiding? Spoiler, neither of us have actually been hiding, but getting seen in this world of online businesses can kind of feel like you're walking around with a Potter-esq cloak of invisibility.
