Advent calendar fillers

[lastnightadjsavedmylifee]

I've got fabric advent calendars for DH, DS5 and DD6 this year and I'm looking for some inventive ideas what to put for each day. Don't want to spend a fortune but don't want absolute tat that will be looked at once and thrown away. I'm planning on spending about £100 per person. Any ideas on what to get for everyone would be hugely appreciated!

consumables and socks

Christmas gloves and hats (I get these in our local cheapy shop)
Christmas socks
christmas bath bomb
hot chocolate sachets
Christmas marshmallows (get those in B&M)
Magazine (rolled up)
lego mini figures
Hair bobbles
Christmas baking kits for the children (m&s usually do good ones) although they likely won’t fit in the pockets
do little notes and small chocolate for festive days out

For DH:
Coffee sachets
Car air freshener
Lottery ticket
Ferrero rocher

For the dc:
Temporary tattoos
Chap stick
Novelty rubbers
Stickers
Loom bands
Chocolate coins

For my 4 children I used to do one that they took turns in opening, filled with Lego one year and Playmobil the next, both of which produced a Christmas scene by the end. From memory the Lego one was a Christmas living room and Playmobil a nativity scene, which I then re-used and added to each year. Mine loved it for 3 or so years then grew out of it (miserable ungrateful creatures).

Socks, gem stones, small toys (have bought bigger sets and used a figure a day), sweets, pencils/craft. I have also bought other advent calendars and opened them.

my husband has had socks, candles, chocolate etc

I love doing my own advent calendar!

At that age, I mixed up consumables with a joke, voucher for a chore - free day, pencils, Christmas book etc.
You can start an ornament collection for them.

For DH always socks, three or four days chocolates and three or four scratchcards. Always a decoration related to a specific thing, something related to his hometown and a 'love token' although that is quite a broad range of things. The other half are more varied every year. Personalised pic glasses cloth, a magnetic extendible stick with torch, a packet of dreamies (from the cats) some silly shaped paper clips, a tiny puzzle, can't remember what else this year until I dig out the list. Have also previously done travel toiletries, ties, cufflinks, a sharpening stone and oil, many things related to gardening, diy or broadly to his job, a kids flannel (with job related pic) little music box, leather bracelet, yoga plant pot cats. 20 years on i am regretting the pockets being quite so small 🙄
