What Is It?
It can be a box, a basket, or any container to stash all the tools you’ll need to cut, tape, and pack away gift wrap, set up toys, and more!
What’s In It and What Are They For?
- Pair of scissors and other cutting tools – cut open packages and undo zip ties
- Batteries in all sizes – for anything and everything battery-operated
- Tool kit with screwdrivers, Allen key set, etc – handy tools for toys
- Sandwich bags – where tiny parts and pieces should go, so you don’t lose them! Remember to label!
- Garbage bags – for discarded gift wrappers (don’t forget to recycle!)
- Tapes – to seal, secure, and put together things
- Sticker labels – to label everything that needs to be properly labelled

Prepare a quick and easy breakfast.
From a buffet-style menu of bread, pastries, to an instant meal or a one-pot dish, we’ve found some Christmas breakfast ideas you can easily make while still enjoying your Christmas morning.
Here are some more ideas to keep you relaxed and away from the mess:
- Coffee, Tea, or Cocoa – get these ready early so you have overflowing drinks prepared for yourselves, kids, and guests
- Paper plates and cups so there’s no need to wash anything after
- Tray or tub where everyone just places their used plates, glasses, and cutlery to keep them off the table and neatly stacked near the sink instead.
- Sippy cups and travel mugs – avoid any spills on their presents, clothes, and carpet. Minimise the mess early & you’ll have less to clean when everyone’s gone home!

- Coordinated PJs – wear the night before so when everyone wakes up to open presents, their clothes are perfectly coordinated for nice photos to be taken
- Have a fully charged camera or phone ready
- Camera stand – so everyone is in the photo; don’t forget to set your camera to timer
Parent Hack: Pop a mirror behind your camera so the kids look towards the camera. It’s an especially great tip if you want to take some fun & silly photos with the kids.
