What to Put in a Baby’s Christmas Eve Box: Creating Magical Memories for Little Ones 🎄
A Christmas Eve box is a wonderful way to start holiday traditions with your baby. Filled with cozy items, sensory toys, and festive surprises, a Christmas Eve box can help set the stage for a warm, joyful holiday. Here are some perfect ideas for what to include in a baby’s Christmas Eve box to make their first holiday season truly special.
1. Festive Pajamas for Christmas Morning Photos
There’s nothing cuter than a baby in cozy holiday pajamas! Choose a soft, comfortable set with a festive design—think snowflakes, reindeer, or Santa motifs. Pajamas are a practical yet adorable addition that will keep your little one cozy through the night and ready for those memorable Christmas morning photos.
2. Soft, Sensory Holiday Toy
Babies love exploring textures and sounds, so a soft, sensory holiday toy is perfect for their Christmas Eve box. Joyful Jellybean’s hand-knitted rattles in the shape of Santa, Rudolph, or a Christmas Tree are designed for little hands and add a festive touch. These toys feature gentle rattles or crinkly textures that captivate babies while supporting fine motor skills and sensory exploration.
3. Holiday-Themed Board Book
Reading a Christmas story on Christmas Eve is a beautiful way to bond and set the holiday mood. Include a holiday-themed board book, such as “Where’s Santa Claus?” or “Sing Along With Me! We Wish You a Merry Christmas”, both available in Joyful Jellybean boxes. These interactive books have sturdy pages and engaging visuals, perfect for little hands to explore while introducing them to the magic of Christmas stories.
4. Cozy Christmas Blanket or Lovey
A soft blanket or lovey is a comforting addition to your baby’s Christmas Eve box. Choose a blanket with a holiday pattern, or a plush lovey that your little one can snuggle with during the night. These items can also become cherished keepsakes, reminding you of their first holiday season as they grow.
5. A Festive Teether
For teething babies, a festive-themed teether is a wonderful (and practical) gift. Look for safe, BPA-free options shaped like holiday items—a snowflake, star, or Christmas tree teether can bring some holiday spirit while soothing sore gums.
6. Keepsake Ornament
Add a special ornament to your baby’s Christmas Eve box—one that represents their first Christmas. This could be a “Baby’s First Christmas” ornament or something personalized with their name and year. Each year, you can bring out this keepsake as part of your holiday tradition, helping you reminisce on their first Christmas as they grow.
7. Handwritten Note or Holiday Card
Include a small card or note, written to your baby, expressing your excitement for their first Christmas and the joy they bring to your life. This heartfelt touch will be something they can look back on as they grow and will make the Christmas Eve box feel even more meaningful.
Order your baby a Christmas Eve toy box
A Christmas Eve box for your baby is a delightful way to celebrate the holiday and start a family tradition. With thoughtful items like cozy pajamas, soft toys, a holiday book, and a keepsake ornament, you can create a box that’s both magical and memorable.
