My boys' Xmas Eve basket of goodies...

Here's the basket of goodies I put together for my boys for when they woke up on Christmas Eve. It contained: the fabby sock monkeys made for me by the lovely Michelle, 2 Santa hats, personalised Christmas snowglobe tree decorations, 2 Christmas DVDs, popcorn, Oreos, chocolates, reindeer food, torches (to help see in the dark for when sprinkling the reindeer food outside), a carrot (for the reindeer), a pot of cookie cutters (for us to use during the day to make Santa some delicious homemade cookies), a Lush bath bomb, some Christmas bath ducks, new toothbrushes, new pyjamas, Christmas book. Think that was it? They loved it and the contents helped get them in the festive mood. We tracked Santa via http://www.noradsanta.org/.

  7. I bet your boys loved it! The sock monkeys look right at home :0) My 2 boys are 23 & 18 and they always remember the little things I've made for them at xmas rather than the big expensive stuff. I always liked to think that I was giving them happy memories x
