Asda shoppers rush to buy returning Christmas essential for kids that ‘will last for years’ – and it only costs £2

PARENTS are flocking to buy this festive essential for kids, which only costs £2.

The Christmas Eve boxes from Asda are used to store all kinds of children's presents.

They've proven massively popular among savvy-shoppers who say they will "last for years"

Buyers can nab these gift boxes from an Asda shop or online.

The box measures 27cm x 36cm x 12.6cm - meaning it has plenty of room for toys and trinkets.

And as the festive day quickly approaches, parents are on the hunt for a place to store their little one's presents.

Amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, cheap gift boxes and hampers are high on the list.

But with some selling for £100 from John Lewis or £85 at Fortnum and Mason, many might be left out of pocket.

Luckily, Asda's Christmas Eve box costs as little as £2 - that's cheaper than certain chocolate bars.

Their website warns prices and promotions may vary when buying in-store.

One happy customer said: "Have bought these boxes for about 10 yrs now always look nice and are strong."

Whilst another commented: ";These are perfect! Really good size and really good value for the price. Quite sturdy."

For those with a sweet tooth the supermarket is also offering two boxes of for just £9.
