Why Create a December Box?

The fun and joy of putting together a December Box is unparalleled. It's an opportunity to let your creativity shine, to dive deep into what makes the holiday season so special for your family, and to craft a collection of gifts that your child will cherish. Each item in the box is a tiny capsule of love, joy, and the magic that the festive season brings.

Here are some items and ideas that can put and create from your December Box magical:

MAGICAL POTIONS - of course their can't be the Magic of Christmas without adding some magic. Crafting potions can become a family activity, It's a shared experience that can become a treasured holiday tradition, strengthening family bonds.

Our Festive trio magic set, is perfect for a December box and bringing in the Christmas season. With an Elf magic potion to firstly celebrate the start of the festive fun. Perhaps use some of its magic to pop on your santa letter, or a potion to bring happiness to your home.The Snow fairy in the kit is the perfect for making any sensory play set up more wintery. Pop the snow in the freezer and then make a mini snowman from it, or perhaps use it to set up your Snowy Christmas sensory play. The Christmas fairy helps grant Christmas wishes. You can even then use the potion to make garden paper. 

Christmas Eve Potion Pouch - is a fun and cheerful potion making kit is for those wanting to create their own magical tradition this Christmas. Our Christmas Wishes potion card is a way to give gratitude and thanks for the year past and make some wishes for the year ahead. Our Call the Reindeer potion will ensure Santa and his reindeer find you wherever you are. Watch the potion fizz and sparkle as the joy and excitement of Christmas morning sparks true magic in our hearts and minds.  

Holiday Storybook: A new storybook can be the highlight of the box. Choose a book that fits the season and your family traditions, and enjoy bedtime readings throughout December. We are obsessed with A Woodland Christmas , Alaskas Magical Christmas and for a more crafty approach,  Wild Celebrations by Your Wild books. 

Christmas Pj’s: Theres something about seasonal celebrations that we seem to love wearing seasonal Pj’s.. and who doesn’t love a family matching Christmas pair, including fur babies. Peggy Road would have to be one of our favourite for the whole family. For a most cost effective option, opt for some Christmas themed socks for the whole family. We love Happy Socks!

DIY Craft Kit: Engage your child's creativity with a DIY ornament-making kit or a greeting card set. It’s a fun activity and a way for them to gift their creation to someone they love.

Here’s a list of some of our favourite craft products:

Baking Set: What's December without some home-baked goodies? A festive cookie cutter, combined with a simple recipe and sprinkles, can set the stage for memorable baking sessions.

We are obsessed with Easy peasy Cakes who have incredible baking kits from Christmas themed cookies, ice cream and cup cake sets and they do the best Edible Stickers to decorate your cupcakes or even your kids sandwiches.

Pop in a simple packet of Hot chocolate and some marshmallows too, those cozy cups and christmas movies. 

Holiday Playlist: Curate a list of cards with your family’s favorite festive tunes or movies and add those to the box too . Whether it’s classic carols or fun pop renditions, music & movies are sure to set the holiday mood.

Advent Calendar : Last but not least, we love sharing and teaching our children about the true meaning of Christmas, about sharing kindness to everyone, and this beautiful Calendar by Sharing Kindness is a must for every December box. Their Kindness advent calendar will empower you and your family in a fun and interactive way. Not only encouraging kids to be kind to others, but also teaching self-kindness, confidence and resilience building activities.

In essence, the December Box is a container of memories waiting to be made. It's not just about the items but the experiences they foster: reading together, crafting, baking, dancing, or simply revealing in the magic of imagination.

As you craft your December Box this year, remember that the true value lies not in the monetary worth of the items but in the thought, effort, and love you pour into it.

Here's to a holiday season filled with joy, magic, and the sweet sound of children's laughter!
