What to put in advent calendars that you fill?

[JemStopItNow]

Girls age 7/9. Preferably not edible. Any good ideas please?

Little stationary bits? Fun erasers, mini highlighters etc

Face masks/hair masks
Mini bath bombs
Mini soaps
Nail stickers
Stationary bits
Hair bobbles
Lip balm

I would go to Claire's accessories/boots/tiger and go from there!

Maybe some little nail polishes or nail stickers, or some miniature bubble bath/bath bombs,hair accessories, gloves - it depends what sort of things they are into, and how big the pockets are. My mum used to do this for me, and continued up until last year when I had a baby of my own, when I was at uni she got loads of absolut mini flavoured vodkas. It's far more fun than chocolate, although some days we would get chocolate coins or little caramels.

Thanks everyone. The hole thing is quite small - mini nailvarnish would fit, not sure they do bath bombs small enough. Is Tiger online?

Body Shop do mini wrapped bath bomb fizzer things!

I got mine tiny fimo charms and the seller was kind enough to put some video game related ones in for DS8. I was going to buy little lobster clips so they could attach them to a bracelet/book bags/make necklaces out of them. They look really cute!

We put in little pieces of paper with jokes on it in some of the pockets

Or gift tags with jokes on

We've got some Lego type figures (DH assures me they fit with regular Lego) for our 8yo from amazon. Last year we got a load of pokemon figures and I broke it up with rubbers, hair clips etc. It's hard with the small pockets!

I just found these I have ordered, to take the pressure off buying 25 chocolates like last year!

Charms are a great idea! I'll definitely do that next year.

Look on eBay for mini bath bombs, you can get bags of wedding favour type ones that are tiny.
This year I have mini bath bombs, Christmas erasers and Christmas pin badges. All from eBay.some days they will have a sweet or a few nuts.

I'm having the same problem, getting ideas for a 9year old boy. Further suggestions gratefully accepted.

Bouncy ball

Temporary tattoo

Balloons

For some days could you write fun/christmasy things to do in a bit of paper?

Making gingerbread biscuits, watching an xma s film together, etc.
