Christmas Eve box ideas: 20 cute gifts they'll love

The Night Before Christmas is a classic, but Wonderbly has made it even more magical by personalising it with your little one's name throughout.

It's the best book to read before the big day and, even better, £1 from each book goes to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

No Christmas Eve box is complete without a pair of festive PJs, and this holly printed pair from Organic Zoo is our favourite for the season. Made from the softest, snuggliest cotton, they'll be begging to go to bed (we can dream).

These cosy cloud-like slippers are a dream to slip into, and the neutral design means they'll be enjoyed throughout the year. They're made from pure wool, which is beautifully breathable, with a non-slip cushioned sole. In fact, we love the women's version too!

Flying Tiger is a treasure trove of inexpensive stocking filler-type gifts, and we think this sweet gingerbread person is the perfect vessel for their Christmas Eve hot chocolate.

Pop a Christmas film on for them while they enjoy that hot chocolate. This milk chocolate Christmas tree stirrer dissolves in warm milk, while the fluffy marshmallows create a layer of "snow".

Pop this cute hot water bottle under their bed cover before bath-time, and they'll get out to a warm bed, courtesy of their new perfectly snuggly pal.

They'll enjoy flicking through this enchanting activity book, which contains over 300 Christmas-themed reusable stickers. There are 24 pages to decorate, including Santa's workshop, a Christmas tree and a roaring campfire.

We've never seen our toddler quite so engrossed in a task as they were when presented with this magical potion kit. Pack n Play has given its whimsical kits a festive makeover, with the likes of "fizzing candy cane" (bath salts), "magic elf sprinkles" (popping candy and biodegradable glitter), and the hilarity-inducing "reindeer droppings" (foaming bath salts).

The kit comes with six vials of fun ingredients, a pipette and simple wooden stirrer. All they need to add is their imagination.

To make doubly sure Santa turns up, we think its worth including this Christmas tree wand for them to magic up the big man.

Include a personalised stocking for them to hang on the mantlepiece before they head off to bed.

Give them something Christmassy to cuddle up with while they wait for Santa to arrive. Jellycat toys have been a runaway success this year, winning fans of all ages.

After they hang their stocking up, they'll enjoy tucking into this delicious, gingerbread biscuit, which is made all the more special with a personalised message.

Who doesn't love playing with Lego? This 73-piece set features Santa and his reindeer, and should keep little hands busy while you get on with last-minute tasks.

Keep their little tootsies toastie with these adorable slipper socks from M&S. They'll probably want to wear them for the rest of the festive season and beyond.

It's always tricky getting them to bed on Christmas Eve, but the promise of watching this gold gingerbread man fizz and melt in the bath may just help.

Once out of the bath, slather this dreamy vanilla-scented body butter all over to keep their skin as soft as a baby's bottom. It smells good enough to eat, and is made with a calming blend of shea butter, cocoa butter and camomile.

Pop this pretty 'I Believe' enamel pin badge into their Christmas Eve box to keep the magic of Santa, his reindeers and trusty elves alive.

Looking for a pre-made Christmas Eve Box to save yourself some time? Daylesford has you covered. In this sweet box, you'll find a cute sausage dog soft toy, chocolate coins, snowman buttons, a hot chocolate stirrer, gingerbread men and reindeer jellies.

Let your child's imagination run wild with this personalised letter from Santa Claus. It will help build excitement for the magical big day, and just watch their face as they realise they're on the 'nice list'. Better still, the charity donation will help support the great work that the NSPCC does year round.

Remind little ones of the true meaning of Christmas, by making a charity donation on their behalf. This will ensure a child that's less fortunate than them is able to go to school and has a safe place to play.
