Hi everyone! I am WAY behind this year and forgot to plan out my Christmas boxes! As a reminder, I put together 6-7 boxes (depending on the year) for relatives/friends/neighbors who live alone or are in need of some extra cheer in the days before Christmas (Dec13th to the 25th). I usually have a theme for the little gifts, BUT NOT THIS YEAR! Help!
My 9yo has suggested Christmas hacks (or cheats) to make the holiday prep easier, but I can't think of 12 little gifts! I always start with a CD of favorite Christmas music. Maybe cookie mix in a jar? What else???
Or, if someone can suggest a different theme, I'm all (elf) ears.
Some of the themes I've done in the past:
12 Days of Christmas (like the song, but with a modern twist)
Favorite Christmas Movie quotes
The Legends of Christmas (Candy Cane, Pickle, etc.)
Christmas Around the World
Favorite Christmas Carols
Christmas Through the Eyes of A Child (Bringing back the magic)
Elves (this was last year)
Snowmen/snowflakes
Based on the Children's specials (Rudolph, Frosty, Peanuts, etc.)
I need to pull this together by Thanksgiving so that I have time to wrap/mail them all. I know how creative you all are...any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you!!!
