3. Board Games Like Codenames for Two People (and More!)

4. Hot Cocoa for a Couples Christmas Eve Box

Few things are better on a cold winter night than a hot glass of cocoa with whipping cream. Or, a deluxe cup of coffee with creamer in the bright and early morning.

I have fond memories of sipping the Land O Lakes premium hot cocoa as a little kid. Buy a large box and then give each member of your family 3-5 packs of hot cocoa!

5. Fun Mugs for Couples

I personally love a BIG coffee cup. These “Merry Christmas” coffee mugs are dishwasher-safe and bigger than most coffee cups.

6. Burt’s Bees Chapstick and Hand Cream

Everyone’s lips and hands get dry in the winter. I’ve tried dozens of chapsticks and nothing beats the original beeswax by Burt’s Bees.

This is the only lip balm that doesn’t actually make my lips dryer!

Harry & David sells great online gift baskets with fruit and nuts, but it can be a bit pricey!

Instead, order fresh food from Whole Foods on Amazon Prime. Then, fill up a Christmas Eve box will delicious pears, grapefruit, oranges, and other healthy foods.

Who doesn’t love a little bit of alcohol during the holidays? Get a bottle of wine or a fun liquor and add it to the Christmas Eve box. Include delicious cocktail syrup too.

10. Foaming Bath Soap with Epson Salts

Everyone could use a good soak in the tub. Epson salt is a bit heavy (and expensive online!), so go with Dr. Teal’s foaming bath soap with pure Epson salt.

It’s relaxing with soothing lavender. Plus, warm baths help you stay warm in the winter!
