Christmas Eve boxes are similar to Christmas care packages, although Christmas Eve boxes are more personalized. What makes them unique, is many have someone’s name or a Christmas saying engraved on a wooden box when gifting a Christmas Eve box, so you defintely feel like the gift box is presented to you.
