A BOX THEY CAN OPEN INTO A MEMORY

The Christmas Eve
Wonder Box.

Start with well-fitting Christmas jammies. Add a storybook, one festive activity, a keepsake ornament, and a label with their name. A balloon surprise can be styled beside the box.

  1. Choose one theme: storytime, little artist, or movie night.
  2. Confirm sizes, interests, allergies, and your total budget.
  3. Use the free Christmas kit for the label, note, and paper details.
  4. Wrap the box so the first thing they see is their name.

Make a little budget go further.
