Mini Christmas Party In A Box
Every year, we send our favorite coffee to family members who live far away. This year, we decided to add a few Christmas things to make it a Mini Christmas Party In A Box!
Here’s what’s in the box:
- Java! Java! Coffee
- Snowman Soup
- Just Poppin’ By To Wish You A Merry Christmas
- 3 Snowballs
- Tinsel
- Christmas Hershey’s Kisses
- Candy Cane
- Christmas Box Decor
These boxes were super simple to put together in boxes from USPS and I think they’ll be appreciated!
When Should The Boxes Be Opened?
Whether you send a Christmas Party In A Box to one or many … they will likely open it as soon as it’s received, unless you specify otherwise.
It would be a blast to schedule a Zoom or Google Meets call and have everyone open their boxes, at the same time, for a super festive Christmas Party, online! Just write on the box, DO NOT OPEN UNTIL (DATE & TIME).
Whether you plan to celebrate Christmas in person or online … it is my wish that you have an excellent Christmas full of moments worth cherishing!
