Cheap, small things for 9 year old advent calendar

DD can't do a traditional advent calendar as she's lactose intolerant. She's ridiculously girly, so a mix of little treats, a few small cosmetic items etc will be great, but money is tight so I need physically small AND cheap... Any ideas?!

On my list so far I have:
mini notepad/pencil
Lip balm
Possibly small cheap makeuppy things for play
hair bands/clips
Nail polish
Bath bomb
Hand cream
Travel sized body lotion etc
stickers
Possibly some crafty bits - need to go take a look at what I can get hold of. eg mini sellotape, mini stapler,little pompom things, glitter etc
beads - if I can get some cheapos.
Sweets

Any other ideas? I need to start buying soon so I can spread out the cost a little and keep it tight.

I keep planning to do this then realise I have all the stocking fillers to get as well so it’s just too much stuff. So I just end up buying chocolates for it - and even that costs more than buying a choc advent calendar.

I have dd10 and 12 and they’d love the items listed!

Thanks all. I'll also check out the Accessorize one. We did get a Smiggle one once which was also quite nice.
