Just that really.
I want to do a little daily present. I did it last year and it went down really really well.
I’m just hoping to get some new ideas for small (price and size) that go in an advent calendar pocket.
Thanks!!

Last year I did the following things

Hubby
Turkish delight bar
Scratch cards
I tunes voucher
M8niature bottle scotch
Brand new shiny £2 coin
Stamp books. (He wasn’t overly impressed with this. I though it was rather cleverly practical. Apparently practical shouldn’t be in an advent calendar!!)
Freddo

DD
Got an advent calendar with 12 mini perfumes in from Superdrug for about £10 - split those over 12 days
Lip balm
iTunes voucher
Freddo (haha!)
Earrings

Think that was about it.

TK Max have a set of ten nail varnishes and a set of nail stickers etc for €6.99 each today, maybe about £6. They could be divided up.
I’m not sure if Claire’s and Smiggle sales are still on but both can be very good for small bits like jewelers, hair clips and stationery.
The poundshops are great for novelty stationery at the moment too.

For your DH (nothing practical is a bit limiting!) they make a Turkish delight version of after eights which might be good if you wanted to do a few sweet treats.
these magnets are a very compelling fidget toy.
And this magnet cube is fun
If you have a Flying Tiger store near by it might be worth a look for little odd and quirky bits. They change stock quite regularly too.
You can get various key ring gadgets like this key ring screwdriver unless that’s too usefulSmile

Does he have any particular hobbies? Interests? Teenage nostalgia?
