A MUM has been praised for the personalised Christmas Eve boxes she has made for her four children.
The woman, called Charlotte, revealed online that you can get three boxes for a bargain £10 from The Works – which she then tailored to each of her kids.
Posting in the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she shared a snap of the four Christmas Eve boxes she had made for daughters Emilee, Freya, Amelia and Brooke.
The grey and yellow boxes – which were printed with a gold star and snowflakes – had “Christmas Eve Box” and “do not open until 24th December” inscribed on them, as well as each of the girl’s names.
“Made my girls Christmas Eve boxes! Boxes 3 for £10 at The Works,” the organised mum captioned the snap.
Explaining the process of personalising them, she said she had sprayed the boxes with paint, glued on the star and name letters, and used stickers for the white writing.
They look fabulous.
