Non-chocolate Advent calendar for Teen. Basically want a boy version of a beauty advent calendar!

[GinZinger]

Thought of getting my 12yr old daughter a (cheaper end) beauty advent calendar but don't want my teen son to feel left out so was wondering what was on the market for him.
So far all I can find is Lego and Lego Harry Potter ones which aren't really his thing.
Has anyone seen any good ones?

Haynes do one where you get a different component each day to build a radio.

Saw a match attax one in Sainsburys the other day if he's into football?

Not really Former 😬

Haynes one sounds interesting, I will google thanks! He likes to fiddle about with stuff.

There's fancier food versions - posh popcorn, gourmet marshmallow, pork crackling? Or pringles, or cheese!

Lynx are doing one this year

There's some good ones on here, including the Haynes radio one, and another one where ou build retro computer games. Also a Fortnite one, Marvel one, men's toiletries etc...

The ozone layer weeps.

Naked marshmallow posh advent calendar with cooking thing. It's great!

Thanks everyone! Will definitely be looking at all these once I'm back from this damn party

This year I’m on strike but next year I’m going to do a Pass the Parcel style Advent calendar for mine. A quick trip to Superdrug would get loads of travel sized toiletries, plus a few things you know he’d like (key ring, mini screwdriver, Mini torch, spare headphones) and a big one for the centre.

Why didn’t I think of that before?

There was one in tesco today from rakuten? That it was a free download of a christmas film you could keep. So every day was a xmas film.
You probably could do it yourself, but it was different.

I saw the fortnight one the other day

Last year I got a Lego calendar

Socks, Pringles, cereal

Lynx do a good 12 days one, we got it this year for my partners brother 😁

Why would a 12 year old want an Advent calendar, and why would you want to buy one? Sounds like spending money for the sake of it, and the kids will most likely think it's seriously uncool.

It don't know how many 12 year olds you know Nemo but all the ones I know still love them. In fact, kids even older than 12, I have bought my middle aged husband one [santa]

Hot chocolate one for ds popcorn for dd3

We have tried Naked Marshmallow & Snaffling Pig - both great.

Just bought my son a Lynx one. £11.99 on Amazon. It's a 12 day one and has some fab little bits in it!

Tesco are doing a cheese one for £8 ! im defo buying it for myself !

Asda had a socks one for £12, looked great!

I got my brother one for his birthday last year, it was all grooming products - I'll go check my amazon account.

I know iwoot do a pork scratching one.

I got the dds age 11 & 12 the Avon earrings one if you haven’t yet got the one for your dd
