Christmas Eve Box Ideas For Adults (mens edit)

The Box

First of all, we want to choose how we are going to present the Christmas Eve Box to the men in our lives. You can chose from a few options, a basket, box, or bag in a variety of shapes and sizes. 

Basket

This large red lined basket is perfectly Christmas-themed, or opt for a lidded white basket that can be reused throughout the year, or lovely simple wooden basket.

Box

Keep it simple with kraft paper cardboard box, or stylish with this burgundy box, or go for something like this festive box.

Bag

For an easy to carry option go for a gift bag such as this holly print bag, or these white and silver bags, these fun plaid bags, or 

Something to wear

A Christmas Eve Box is a great opportunity to buy fresh new pyjamas. We love these Tommy Hilfiger pyjamas, or these fair isle print pjs, or these Christmas pyjamas, or these fleece stag pyjamas.

We also think some new slippers are a good call. 

Or some fluffy socks.

Something to eat

It’s always nice to add something decadent to the Christmas Eve Box, go for something fun like chocolate coins, or chocolate brussels sprouts, or something more luxurious like Hotel Chocolat box, or the Lindt salted caramel truffles. We also love Tony’s Chocolonely.

Alternatively you could include some sweets or candy such as traditional candy canes, these retro sweets, or some gobstoppers.

Or go for something savoury such as gourmet popcorn, or pretzels, or some pork scratchings.

Something to drink

There is something lovely about getting all cosy on Christmas Eve with a hot beverage of your choice. So gift your favourite man with some luxurious hot chocolate, (try a white chocolate one for something different), or some fancy tea, or delicious coffee.

Of course, Christmas is the time for all things mulled. So you could add some mulled spices to make mulled wine, mulled cider, or mulled apple juice.

And if you’re in the mood for booze, you could add in some miniature bottles of whisky, rum, or gin. 

If you’re feeling generous you could even opt for some nice full size bottles of alcohol, choose something unusual and yummy such as frangelico, or chambord. 

Something festive

Pick something festive to set the Christmas Eve mood. Something like a festive mug is lovely.

Something fun

We think gifting games on Christmas Eve is a great way to set a fun tone for the evening. We love this Monopoly Deal Card Game, Uno Card Game, or the Classic Jenga.

Wildcard

We like to add something personal or different to the Christmas Eve Box. Scented candles are a great call for that cosy feeling.

Or something like this personalised silk eye mask. 

Hope this list has helped to find some gifts to add to your Christmas Eve Box for men. We also have a gift guide for women’s Chirstmas Eve Box. Plus an epic DIY Christmas Eve Box guide.
