Christmas Cracker / small gift ideas

Hi,
I am looking for some ideas for Christmas cracker gifts - I am making my own but not coming up with much for a useful gift. Something that won't become landfill.

Ideas for my husband and my daughter (nearly 12yrs old).

I also have two mini stockings I was hoping to hang on the tree for them so similar size to a cracker gift would be perfect.

Many thanks

Things that'll be used so

Grooming / beauty / bath things
Chocolate or other food treat
Gift card for Starbucks or wherever they like to go

All the above obviously tailored to be items they prefer

I could do with some help also.

Success with little plastic dinosaurs. So good and my daughter loves dinosaurs. Before anyone points out that they are a potential chocking hazard, she is 22! However, failed with make your own glider kits - look good and only £2 for six but far too long for the crackers.

Need to have rethink.
