Xmas Eve Box.

[sapelesam]

Suggestions would be welcome for some fun, quirky or interesting gifts for my wife's Xmas Eve Box. Put pyjamas in with small bottle of Champagne and some Twiglets. Need 3 or 4 small gifts.

Ooh I’ve never heard of anybody doing one for an adult!

Wow! It seems that you're really into the kinky stuff ;-)

How about this?

Hi Smow, we are not giving presents this year due to the house sale. Plus, on Wednesday next we sign contracts on our new boat. No money left or space for presents. Just want to get a fun box put together.

Handbag charms make nice little gifts.

She bought me that book last year. I was always complaining that she came without an instruction book.

[Smowball]

Ahh I see! Ok erm, chocs, bubble bath, fluffy slippers, book, magazine, body lotion, those little cans of vodka and tonic already mixed etc...

[sapelesam]

Some good ideas coming through, really appreciate it.

[Mamyalynne]

If she's a reader - silk bookmark, clip on book light.

Maybe put five raffle tickets in an envelope. Nobody ever argued over that.

[Jackdaw33]

Never heard of this before. What an absurd concept.

[sapelesam]

Five separate tickets or a strip of five.

Rip each ticket into three.

[sapelesam]

It's a one off Jackdaw, for a variety of reason, some of which I mentioned earlier.

In which case . . .

Which also reminds me of the wonderful 'Janet and John' CDs from Terry Wogan's radio programme. They're now out of production and generally ruddy expensive collectors' items but you can still pick up a secondhand copy of the 5th album for £14. (They're outrageous and hilarious):

Sam, you are buying a house and a boat and Mrs. Sam is getting pyjamas :-)
Xmas eve boxes , is this a new tradition or not imported fro. America ?

[sapelesam]

Brilliant 237SJ, going to get one of those, very appropriate.

[sapelesam]

No Anne, WE are selling a house and buying a boat, joint decision.

[Mamyalynne]

Don't know how long it's been around, quite new to me too Anne.

Perfect choice 237.

[237SJ]

What about one of those clips/leads that clips your hat to your tee shirt so that it doesn't blow off in the wind on the boat?
