Advent calendar for a 12 year old girl? Not chocolate, about £20?

[KennDodd]

Anybody have any suggestions? She's very booky. Doesn't do make up or jewellery. I'm stuck for ideas.

Bomb Cosmetics do a advent calendar with mini soaps and bath bombs in it. went down a storm with my book worn DD last year. I got mine from Amazon.

Make your own with activities each day or baking/ shopping for foodbank etc

I got a make up calendar from body care for £9.99 for my 10 yr old this year . A lot of shops are doing them but I found this one pretty funky compared to some .

Smiggle do a stationery one. There are lots of tea light ones too.

Wilkinsons do a makeup beauty one for about a fiver if shes into that.
Or asda do a cheese one

Does she like tea? www.notonthehighstreet.com/millygreen/product/have-a-happy-christmas-tea-advent-calendar?istCompanyId=aa76f5e6-d733-4e56-8409-574cea196cc9&istItemId=xqarmmxmmq&istBid=t

"Doesn't do make up"

A bit over your budget at £28 but what about this one?

Paperchase have an eraser one

The Book People also have an eraser one, about £8 I think

Thank you everybody! I was so struggling for ideas.

Her sister really wants a Match Attax advent calendar, it's about £20. I can't get her that without getting the others something similar. Boy is easy, Lego. Older girl, I just didn't know what to get.

There's a Charm bracelet advent calendar here.

The Tinc one was fabulous last year, but it's a bit over your budget.

Any good deals at The Book People for books for her, and make your own? You can usually get a fair few books for £20ish over there, and you could intersperse with eg hot chocolate sachets or similar to eke out?

Thanks for the photo puzzle link, molifly

I'm sorted for advent calendars this year, but there are a couple of products on there my dd1 would love.

I know you said she doesn't wear jewellery but does that include earrings? Does she have pierced ears? If so this is quite fun...

What about Zoellas advent calendar? A tiny bit over at £50 but it’s 12 days of absolutely quality gifts and not at all overpriced in regards to what you receive?

Sarcastic h8r. Zoella will be sad. Anyone who knows her will understand it's a wonderful opportunity to confetti the crap out of a home.

A tiny bit over at £50 you understand the word tiny yes? Its two and a half times the OPs budget.

What about getting one of the adult colouring books and a set of 24 really nice pens or pencil crayons? If you can be arsed wrapping individual pencils anyway

But the good news is it is now only £25.

Twice the value it was before.

Don’t tell me she’s too old for a Lego Friends calendar?

I want one!

clarky

Now that is the sort of poking with a stick sarky behaviour that gets a person put on Santas naughty list.

And you know it.

In a just world your punishment would be to have your eyes stapled open for 24 hours and be forced to watch Zoella in action.........

I can second the bomb cosmetics one. Mydd had it last year and loved it. I'm pretty sure Avon have an earring one but can't remember the price.

What about Hama beads? www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-Beads-Advent-Calendar-Seasonal/dp/B01AA0YY74?tag=mumsnetforum-21

Kiki k have a stationery one - VIP20 gets you discount before Sunday. But unless you're near a store there P&P.
