It getting very close to the 25th Decemeber 2025 and every year I keep promising to myself that I will be super organised and have my christmas shopping done and dusted by 1st December. I do not think that will happen again this year, but I can safely say I have got started. This will be the 2nd year that my daughter has asked if she can put together a Brrr Basket for her friend as a gift. This is a whole new concept to me and I thought this was something slightly over the top last year and a fuss to put together, however it is a really simple gift idea and I thought I would share the type of things I put in ours (with links to make it easier for you).
1. The Basket
2. Fluffy Socks
3. Blanket
4. Hot Chocolate and Mug
5. Hand Warmers
6. Gloves
7. Hat
8. Scarf
10. Teddy or a soft plush
11. Tealights
12. Bath Bomb
13. Sweets (eg: selection box, chocolate coins)
14. Slippers
These are suggestions of course and I would not put one of everything from the list in the basket. It all depends on the size of your basket and there are of course cheaper alternatives available.
I absolutely love the run up to christmas and now my two are getting older they don't get so excited. I'm not sure how much longer they will want me to do their christmas eve boxes, but I will write more about what I put in these in my next blog. Keep safe and healthy MT
