Advent calendar fillers

3 replies

Sunnybeachday · Yesterday 21:08

Hello
When DD was little, MIL made her a lovely fillable advent calendar and each year, we’ve filled it with kind of themed bits (combined with chocolates)
Recently years, we’ve had
Kawaii stationery, keyrings, etc
Jewellery making
Gemstones
Crochet hooks and mini balls of yarn

I’m a bit stuck for this year. DD is 14, not into skincare, hair care or makeup. Loves craft stuff, anything Japanese, Peanuts, anime, Pokemon and stickers related to the above. Still into stationery, but more grown up stuff

Any suggestions gratefully received, thank you. And if anyone has any requests for similar, please do ask and hopefully someone will help ❤️

My DD is 11 and we have similar except the drawers are quite small 😆 so we can fit a chocolate or sweetie plus a pair of earrings or a bracelet charm or pin badge kind of size This year we have a Disney holiday in Florida planned over Christmas so I plan to have a chocolate plus either disney pin, clicky fidget (realised her clickeez fit), pair of earrings or a folded dollar (genius idea from my friend the other day!)
For your DD maybe: origami instructions with square paper, pokemon tree ornaments, mini lego set, blind bag from miniso, japanese snacks (yeah I went into miniso yesterday and they had strawberry kit kats, pouches of rainbow cotton candy etc), lipbalms (there are some cute dr pawpaw kuromi ones), hair accessories (just standard bands, slides, clips that all girls need?), books, puzzles, pencils, pin badges.

Following for more ideas!

We have a drawer calendar thing and I fill it with a literal calendar, ie I put a little scroll of paper into each drawer with what is happening that day. I have 40+ ideas of activities, visits and events to suit all sorts of days 😁 eg if it’s a school day, where both parents are working and kids have clubs, the activity will be something like ‘watch the CBeebies panto’. If it’s a weekend with nothing planned it will be something like ‘go to local light show’, ‘bake gingerbread house’. Then add a Lindt ball to each drawer and buy them a chocolate calendar each 😁

We have pocket calendars. I have got DD a variety of things: chocolates, a packet of sweets, earrings, mini highlighters, mini puzzles, a card game, gingerbread snoopy lip balm, pin badges and a special charm bracelet for Christmas eve
