Help me make an advent calendar, please

[MeMyElfandI]

I've decided this year to treat my husband as he has been a real rock to me over the last 12 months. I have bought 24 whiskey minatures and want to make an advent calendar for him. Problem is the bottes are 5cl ones and my idea of using a decorate your own wooden advent calendar from hobbycraft has been blown out of the water as the pull out boxes are not deep enough for the bottles.

Does any one have any crafty ideas they can suggest? I'm quite good at decorating things but not great on coming up with orginal ideas iykwim.

Thanks

What about a small Christmas tree with the right sized boxes for the whisky so you can wrap them up as presents and number them?

Or you could do one of those pocket type ones, I don't think that would be too difficult to make. Or an advent treasure hunt where he has to solve a clue for the location of each day's gift.

There are lots of ideas on Pinterest. If you search advent calendar cardboard tubes or similar there are some using middles of toilet rolls which could maybe be right sort of dimensions?!?

Would they fit inside toilet rolls ?

Little numbered tied draw string bags on a big string , like a garland could be fixed on a wall, around the bannister or even on the tree if its up.

Or little felt stockings on a string in a similar way.

I love love love this house one:

Pant boxes/stick on coloured card etc. If you have the space...

Toilet rolls made into mini crackers.
