Help for gifts that can be split into 8 parts

[ridingsixwhitehorses]

We celebrate Hanukkah (Jewish holiday) as well as Christmas and in my family tradition is to give a small gift each of the eight nights of the festival. It is over Christmas this year and both my kids have Nov/Jan birthdays too so as you can imagine it is a present heavy time of year.

One year I got musical bells and gave one each night. Another year we got 16 farm animals and each child picked one out of the bag each night so at the end they had a complete farm set.
Any other ideas for small gifts I could do this with? I wondered Lego mini figures but we have so many already. Or bits of stationary eg rubbers and sharpeners etc with the last night gift being a pencil case to keep it in. But all ideas welcome. They get a chocolate with their gift each night too.

Books
Disney or marvel figures
Could you get a toy advent calendar and split that up, playmobil or lego?
Noahs ark, same animal each day then the ark ark the end - can get wooden ones, playmobil ones etc

How old are they

That's such a nice idea.
How about splitting up a puzzle into 16 equal parts - 8 each for each child and completing each section each night. Depends on how old your child is as to how complicated the jigsaw is!!!

I immediately thought Lego Minifigs, but then saw that you have lots. Could you perhaps pick a small lego set and divide the pieces up (according to the instructions) so that they build part of it each night, completing it on the last night? Would they be interested in a Panini album with a few stickers each night? I think stationary sounds good, provided you don't have masses already (we seem to be drowning in the stuff!)

Sylvanian families or playmobil playsets have lots of bits and bobs. Book People box set? We once had a jigsaw that had 8 mini puzzles that all fitted together to make one big hexagon - 6 round the edge and 2 in the middle. How old are your children?

8 Harry Potter films

Cooking bits - utensils/mixture etc
Swim toys

Plastic dinosaurs.
Model cars.
Balloons.

They are 6 and 4. Panini albums and stickers a great idea. Where do you buy them? WH Smith's?

Am saving all the other ideas for future years too

I saw an advent calender in WHSmiths which had 24 Christmas themed rubbers in that you could share between your kids.

Hobby craft has a set of 60 gel pens for £5 which you could also split up into smaller bundles.

The yellow moon company and baker Ross has lots of multi packs of stationary/craft items which would be perfect for this sort of thing.

Bought them on Amazon. Great idea.
As is the Harry Potter series for a future year.

The Book People do 10 books sets so you can save a couple for birthday gifts for their friends
