What Do You Put in a Christmas Sack?

22 Oct 2024

As the festive season approaches, many of us look forward to the age-old traditions that make Christmas so magical. One of these traditions is the Santa sack – a large, decorative bag filled with presents and surprises for loved ones.  

But what do you put in a Christmas sack to make it truly special? Whether for a child, a partner, or even a pet, the joy of filling a Christmas sack is in choosing thoughtful, personalised items that will bring a smile on Christmas morning. In this blog, we’ll explore the Santa sack tradition, why it’s a great alternative to wrapping paper, and offer some fantastic ideas for what to fill it with. 

The Santa Sack Tradition 

The tradition of the Santa sack, or Christmas sack, is thought to have originated from the legendary figure of Saint Nicholas, who would leave gifts in stockings or shoes for children who had been good. Over time, this has evolved into using Christmas sacks, which are now a popular alternative for families looking to make gift-giving a little more magical. 

A Santa sack is not only practical but also adds an extra layer of excitement on Christmas morning. And the best part? Unlike traditional wrapping, Santa sacks can be reused year after year, becoming a cherished part of your family’s festive traditions. 

An Alternative to Wrapping Gifts 

While wrapping gifts in colourful paper and tying them up with ribbons is a lovely tradition, it can be time-consuming and a bit wasteful. In recent years, more people have turned to Christmas sacks as a sustainable and stylish alternative to wrapping paper. Personalised Christmas sacks not only reduce waste but also save you the hassle of last-minute wrapping – and who doesn’t love a time-saver during the busy festive season? 

Christmas sacks are also far more durable than flimsy wrapping paper, ensuring that even the most oddly shaped presents remain a surprise until the big day. Plus, they’re a great way to keep gifts organised, especially when you have multiple people to buy for. With a large, personalised Santa sack for each family member, you can neatly bundle their gifts together, creating an instant festive display under the tree.

Santa Sack Filler Ideas 

Now that you have your Santa sack ready, the next step is deciding what to fill it with. The beauty of a Christmas sack is that it can hold a variety of gifts, from small stocking fillers to larger presents. Here are some ideas to inspire you: 

Personalised Gifts for The Kitchen 

For the chef in your life, a Santa sack filled with personalised kitchen items is sure to impress. A personalised apron with your loved one’s name or a festive message is both practical and thoughtful, perfect for the head chef of the family. You could also include a personalised cheeseboard, which is a fantastic gift for those who love to entertain. Another great idea is an engraved chopping board, which can be displayed as a decorative piece or used every day, reminding them of your thoughtful gift. For wine or beer lovers, a personalised bottle opener is an ideal small gift that they can use again and again, adding a touch of fun to their home bar. 

Personalised Gifts for Home 

If you're looking for something they can use in their home, personalised gifts for the home are perfect fillers for a Santa sack. A cosy cushion embroidered with your loved one’s name or a festive design makes for a beautiful and heartfelt addition to any home. They’re sure to feel joy each time they see it on their sofa. Another great choice is a personalised mug—ideal for enjoying a hot cup of cocoa or tea during the festive season. For those who love candles, we have a wide range of personalised candles or candle holders with custom messages that will light up a home. These small but meaningful gifts can transform any space and are sure to be appreciated. 

Personalised Decorations 

For a truly festive touch, add personalised Christmas decorations to the sack. A custom bauble with their name or a special message can be a keepsake they cherish for years to come, hanging proudly on the Christmas tree each year. Wooden ornaments or signs with personalised inscriptions can bring a rustic feel to anyone’s holiday décor. A personalised snow globe featuring a family name or special date is also a magical gift, perfect for creating memories that last long beyond Christmas. 

Personalised Gifts for Babies 

Babies may not remember their first Christmas, but personalised gifts for little ones create lasting memories for their parents. A personalised babygrow with 'Baby's First Christmas' or their name makes for an adorable gift, perfect for photos. You could also add a soft personalised teddy, which will become a treasured companion as they grow. These thoughtful gifts provide a sentimental touch that families will look back on fondly. 

Other Personalised Gifts 

Personalised gifts add a special touch that makes Christmas even more meaningful. Consider filling the sack with other personalised gifts such as  stationery, golf balls, pyjamas and hats. Personalised Christmas sacks are already a great statement piece, so continuing the theme with custom gifts adds to the magic.
