Things that Santa left behind...

I'm looking for ideas please,
Over the years Santa has 'dropped' items when he has delivered the presents. We've had his driving licence, rudolphs tag, a receipt for a cafe in Lapland. I always find these things online but this year I'm stumped! Does anyone else do this or have any ideas? The only thing I can thing of is a small piece of red fleece that looks like its ripped off his jacket.
Thanks!

Torn sack?

Print out of google maps directions from Lapland to your house?

beginnerwitch · 13/12/2022 06:28

A page from his naughty or nice list?

TheGoodEnoughWife · 13/12/2022 06:35

A big black shiny button that he has lost from his coat.

A bell off the sleigh.

SpikeGilesSandwich · 13/12/2022 06:42

Reindeer poo?

Choccymumma · 13/12/2022 06:50

These are great thank you!
I did have a giggle at 'torn sack!' 😂

Hay/wood shavings

You’ve probably already done these but we used to leave little threads of cotton wool to look like it came from his beard, half a carrot broken to look like Rudolph had eaten from it, and bits of crumbs or pastry from the mince pie Santa has been eating.

GimmeSleep · 13/12/2022 07:43

I remember finding a carrot in the garden which one of the reindeer had taken a bite of 😊

Friend's small boys were mightily impressed last year by "sleigh skid marks" on their driveway...

Grandpa got creative with charcoal, apparently Xmas Smile

Reindeer poo that is actually malted milk balls? Pick one up and bite into it to gross out your kids…

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 13/12/2022 09:13

What I’ve done with Gdcs on Christmas morning, is go out to see whether reindeer have eaten the carrots (left outside in a dish) - and, dear me, find several chewed up little bits of carrot scattered around the dish.

You then tut-tut a bit at the mess, and add, ‘But at least they didn’t poo in the garden!’

Choccymumma · 13/12/2022 18:55

These are all brilliant, thank you!
We do the whats left on the plate thing, FC drank the beer, mince pie crumbs and the carrot bitten roughly by Rudolph.
I'm amazed we're still doing it as dd is 12 but the magic is well and truly alive in our house! 😍

Sooty boot marks that mum has to hoover grumpily.

Snow (talc/ flour)

Magic dust (glitter)

Mine are very little though, doesn't take much to be magic

Keyring with a pic of mrs klaus in it. Love this, may steal although probably too late with a 10 and 13 year old.

Rosalindisafuckingnightmare · 13/12/2022 19:39

His repeat prescription? Perhaps he gets recurrent tinselitis? Or is allergic to Brussel sprouts? Or has injections for Haemophilia B (Christmas disease) depending on the ages of your children.

BeaLola · 13/12/2022 19:46

Piece of torn red velvet from his clothes

Santa sweets in a posh tin - with a couple left

Bell from sleigh

Hankie with initials

PlaitBilledDuckyPuss · 13/12/2022 19:48

Hair from his beard - you could use white wool unravelled.

Booksandwine80 · 13/12/2022 19:50

I’m stealing this idea, so cute!

Isthatascratchonmygrandmother · 13/12/2022 20:04

Fucking torn sack 🤣 brilliant.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 13/12/2022 20:08

One of your elves that you stamp on to give the appearance that it has fallen off the sleigh and has been run over as Santa hurried off to his next delivery.

No?

Just me then. 😑

Reindeer crap - started out as chocolate raisinsw but ended as maltesers stuck together with melted chocolate.
We lived near Tatton and dd knew what deer crap looked like.

Yutes · 13/12/2022 20:58

I like pps suggestion of a button.

Kks19 · 13/12/2022 21:02

We have a button from his coat that popped off after eating too many mince pies lol 😆 it came with a lovely little poem. Literally only a few pound from amazon.
