Christmas eve hamper/present for children

Options
Hi everyone,:wave:
i was wondering if anyone else does a christmas eve hamper/box for there children? and what you put in it?
ive done one a few years now, which i give them on the morning of christmas eve, i have 4 children (5, 7, 9 and 13) and so far i have:
xmas elf hats (99p )
16 sheets activity pack (99p) this includes colouring pages, dot to dot, word search etc so i will give them 4 sheets each,
a pack of 6 or 8 paper puppets to colour, (99p)
things to get/make:
snowman soup
reindeer food
xmas dvd (if i can find one we have`nt got, or check on demand)
xmas pj`s
i have also bought a xmas reward chart for each of them today, it has happy star stickers and sad snowman stickers, they start it on the 1st of december and it runs up to xmas eve, then on xmas eve you pop it in the supplied envelope and leave it out for santa so he can see if they have been good or naughty, i thought these where a great idea, and i got them from card factory for 99p each.
i`d love to hear of any other idea`s you may put in yours if you do one.
thanks in advance
ps sorry if there is already a thread on this, i did have a look but couldnt find anything.
One day I will live in a cabin in the woods

    We started doing this last year for our 3 girls, it went down really well and was great for keeping them occupied before bedtime. For this years hampers I have so far got:

    Xmas pyjamas
    Slipper socks
    Reindeer food
    Lush bath bombs (santa shape)
    Twas the night before Christmas book
    Barbie Christmas dvd
    Christmas colouring books

    I still want to get/make:

    Ingredients to make gingerbread men
    Snowman soup
    Christmas jigsaw puzzle (if I can find one)

    I love the reward chart idea!
