Advent calendar for 15yo boy not keen on chocolate

[Exp1etiveDeLighted]

Any suggestions? We're out of ideas, in previous years he's had Match Attax and Jelly Beans but doesn't want either this year.

I have bought my DD a popcorn one.

Also seen pork scratching one advertised, if he would like that.

Tea or coffee, if he drinks those.

There is a 12 Lynx one in Amazon which was £10 last week. Has a variety of miniatures of their products which he may like.

Get a box type one, stick £1 in every day.

That should say 12 day one

My 14yr old DS is getting a hot sauce one from B&M.

It’s this one here
Also available on Amazon but for nearly 4x the price!

I got my DS the Lynx one too. But I agree there are very little options for teenage boys.

Thank you. Hot sauce would be good, he likes that. DH has got the pork scratching one, DS doesn't like them, or tea, coffee or Lynx. Popcorn also sounds good. £1 coins is clever but it would make his massively more valuable than DD's.

Lego!!

There is a Haribo one available

I’ve just got myself a puzzle advent calendar. Or I saw a cheese one on amazon. There are also men’s grooming ones on there, or Funko Pop ones too (little figures)

I've suggested cheese as I think it would be perfect for him (we buy a new one to try most weeks and he invariably likes them) he's thinking about it.

Not into grooming at all, he's clean but not very interested in appearance. Finds lego and any sort of puzzle very fiddly (dyspraxic).

The cheese one is available in Sainsburys - prob other supermarkets too but we saw it in there yesterday - think it was £10

I'd just go with the Haribo one

One with pockets and fill it with things he likes

My DS is a l it the younger (13) but s to lol enjoys the lego advent calendars.

Also we have a Swizzels sweets calendar which was only £4 from sainsburys which is a sweet treat but isn't chocolate?

Sorry op didn't see your reply about Lego/puzzles and dyspraxia.

I saw a socks advent calendar which I thought looked great but I expect a teenager would be so bothered. Hmmm the cheese one sounds like your best bet maybe? Good luck.

There's a cheese one in Morrison's, dd and I are sharing it

He's not that keen on Haribo or Swizzles either (just hasn't got much of a sweet tooth). I remember seeing the cheese one in Sainsburys last year but haven't yet this year, however it's where we do our main shop so will keep an eye out for it. I'd struggle to think of 24 small things for a refillable one TBH. I think at the moment he's so stressed about his mocks in December that he isn't feeling the Christmas spirit yet but we can't not do one for him.

It was £8 by the way

x-posted, DH works near a Morrison's could get him to check out their cheese one.

I got this. But I am a massive nerd www.amazon.co.uk/Holmes-Advent-Calendar-Solve-Yourself/dp/3946120423?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Might be a bit old for this, but I think I might get my 11yo the Harry Potter stationery one from Primark. It's £10.

Pringles advent calendar?
