A gift every day in December

I was thinking of something different I could do for DP instead of an advent calendar.

I was thinking of wrapping a small (maybe stocking filler sized) present for every morning in December. Does that sound like a good unique idea? Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

He loves books, nature, junk food!, science, eco friendly things, fantasy shows like GoT, and gardening.

Would this be a really silly idea?

I agree that it sounds expensive and could be too much even if you come up with DIY items. If I had to, I'd go with something really small like chocolates and notes like they have in fortune cookies. Or there would be a jar with a number of vague prophecies for the DP to have one every day. Might as well try gifting something relatively useful, like a personalized calendar or Christmas aroma candles but I don't see the point in giving out gifts like that (or any at all tbh) every day.

We do this. When I was little my mam used to make toilet roll crackers and stick a little present in (it wasn't necessarily daily, some years it was, some it was every 2 days).

We've started using the reusable calendars and putting little things in, I make one for each of my parents, I usually have maybe 5 or 6 good presents and the rest are sweets/chocs.
