Advent calendar fillers for men.

Last year I made an advent calendar for my dh. He loved it as normally he is the one without a calendar, even the dog has one.
This year I want to do the same but I’m struggling for small cheap fillers that aren’t total tut.
Last year I put in a scratch card, miniature booze, mini jars of marmalade, mini shower gel, tiny photo frame, pair of socks, key ring etc but I’m struggling this time not to repeat things.
ANY suggestions gratefully received.

That must have been seriously weighty..

Don't worry about repeating stuff - most of last years will surely be used up by now.

I make one for DH - it’s one of those light up wooden houses with a tiny drawer for each day. I put some sweets in each one but also some kind of soppy note. Last year it was 25 things we did together in the last year, one per day. Another year was 25 reasons why I loved him. Yes, we’re ekvarassingly soppy but in private only!
