Came up with the idea of putting a present on the tree for everyone in personalised some baubles. Have managed to fill everyone's bar ds.

I don't really want to do edible as no one else's is. Budget is £10.

Silly socks
Underpants
Ticket or voucher
Expanding flannel
Rubiks cube
How big is the bauble?

£10 note?

Bauble is about 8cm so things like rubiks cube are too big.

Others contain:
nail varnish and earrings
Lipstick and mini perfume
Bookmark and aftershave
Mini screwdriver thing - have had to take out of the wallet to fit it in

Cash/voucher are my last resort

Usb stick, lip balm you get reeces and coke ones in primark , earbuds

You can get small snake puzzles in the works that are good fun to fiddle with.

Other fidget toys like spinners or cubes.

Aldi had some 'Worlds Smallest...' toys/games that you could take out of the box, things like catch/ping pong/jenga.

I love the idea & may borrow it for next year Xmas Smile

Phone charging cable. You can get ones that light up as they charge and I’m sure I saw one that was like a string of Christmas fairy lights somewhere.

Money folded up small and put under e.g. a chocolate reindeer.

Just Eat voucher?

I'm doing the same with crackers - so far I've come up with Lindt chocolate, charging cable, play putty, costa card, one of those sticky men things you throw at a wall and it creeps down, a mini slinky ...

Memory stick

HippyChickMama · 14/12/2020 10:08

Mini hair product
Key finder key ring
My ds is 13 and still likes Lego so would like a Star Wars or Harry Potter Lego minifigure or two but I appreciate not alll 13yo will be

Thanks all I went with the light up charging cable, a character that goes on the cable and a fidget spinner thing.

I too love this idea! Can I ask where you got baubles that you can open?

BlankTimes · 14/12/2020 10:12

Hide the actual gift in the house and put instructions of how to find it in the bauble.

justgeton · 14/12/2020 10:16

Lottery ticket/scratch card

@AngelonTopoftheTree, Hobbycraft, maybe pound shops or Home Bargains?

treeeeemendous · 14/12/2020 13:58

@AngelonTopoftheTree I bought them in hobby craft in the sale but I would think they have them this year too. Its going to become a new tradition. I am also doing small table presents for the first time this year. It's going to be a very different Christmas so time to start some new traditions!

Could anyone give me a link to a light up charging cable, please?

treeeeemendous · 14/12/2020 20:42

@Leeds2 I found them on eBay
