Tiny advent calendar presents

[monkeysmama]

I bought one of these for dd (2.5) for her first Christmas. It looks lovely but trying to find things to put it in it pretty hard. Last year she was only little and I filled the pockets with plastic farm animals and the surprise wasn't ruined by them sticking out.

This year I want to try and find little things that fit in. Any ideas?

TIA

Watching this thread - I have seen a couple of lovely wooden advent calendars with tiny drawers but other than little sweets I can't think of anything to put in either! Stickers/hair clips/play jewellery may work in yours?

I love those trees, I got creative this year and made one for £6, though think we are just putting a star in the pocket and moving it along each day. Ive got an advent with drawers and one of the special presents in side is one of these they are roughly 6cm x 4cm x 3.5cm, a lovely personalised snow globe ornament to hang on the tree, love that ebay shop, they do postage discounts too.

Could you find some tiny wooden Christmas tree ornaments like the German ones, put one in for each day, and supply a small tree for her to hang them on? Can be used year after year, the surprise being which one will be revealed each day, as you will put them in a different order each year.

Lovely idea! Perfect! Thank you very much.

My ds is getting gogo's in his this year. His other one is getting the usual choc coins and treats in.

If things stick out can you not simply wrap them?

Paperchase also has lots of tiny decorations
