Christmas Eve Hampers Thread?

Options
I can't remember where I saw the thread for ideas for Christmas Eve hampers. I'd like to do them for my children. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks,

Susan :-)

    Not sure if their is an actual thread but here are some ideas i have thought of or picked up on.

    Minature bubble bath
    Childs charecter flannel
    Dvd
    Colourin pens
    Colouring book/acitivty book (depends on age)
    Slippers
    Pajamas (to wear on xmas eve)
    Chocolates
    Gloves
    Hat
    scarf
    Book
    Charecter annual
    Special drink the kids dont get all the time , a lil bit of fizzy (dont give too close to bed time)
    Kids jewlery
    craft kits
    Paint
    Magazine
    pants/vest
    little charecter toys
    New teddy to sleep with xmas eve
    New blanket/duvet set for xmas eve sleeping

    Those are some ideas :) hope some can come in handy !

    You can also use number games/sums for them to find the presents , educational , fun , and gives the kiddies some thing too do to pass the long time that is xmas eve!

    Use lots of colours wrapping paper (if u can afford it and their at the colourin knowin age)

    do a map to help find the presents (if u want to scatter them) or use 3 for a trail to the hamper

    Hope that helps!

    Thank you SO much juniorj :-) That's absolutely brilliant - would never have thought of the treasure trail idea either. I've been trying to hunt down Christmassy PJs for them but haven't had any luck so far (my daughter is 10 and son is 7). I remembe one time I got reindeer ones in Asda and they loved them. Might get plain ones if I can and stitch a reindeer or santa face on the top (when will I fit that in? ho ho).

    Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.:D
