What Is It?
A box, a basket, or any container that holds all the essentials you’ll need to cut, tape, and pack away gifts wrappers, 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
- Tapes – to seal, secure, and put together things
- Sticker labels – to label everything that needs to be properly labeled

Prepare a quick and easy breakfast.
Here are some make-ahead Christmas brunch ideas to feast on and enjoy with the whole family!
Check out 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 bin where everyone just places their used plates, glasses, and cutleries 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, or floor. No possible mess to clean up after too!
