Filling your children’s Advent calendars yourself? Here are 24 ideas
4.11.2023
Translation: Eva Francis
Collecting 24 little Advent calendar gifts for kids every year can be challenging. But don’t worry if you’re running low on creative ideas, let’s inspire each other! I’ll go first. Here are my 24 ideas for Advent calendar treats under ten francs.
I must admit, I’m tempted to buy my kids a ready-made Advent calendar. They come in all shapes and sizes and cater for every age, interest and budget. I’ve scrolled through the large range several times –
and yet, I haven’t bought one. How come? Well, all ready-made calendars are limited to one brand or one type of toy, offering not much in terms of surprise. That’s why, once again, I’ve decided to buy 24 small gifts for my girls (aged four and seven), which they’ll take turns in unwrapping over the course of December. Some of the gifts might be a small sweet, others a voucher for an afternoon of ice skating, for example. Of course, this type of DIY calendar costs more than a shop-bought one, but it’s also more original.
My 24 suggestions for Advent calendar gifts
Below, you’ll find 24 gifts, each under ten francs, that you can use to fill up an Advent calendar for a child. I hope you’ll find some inspiration. Combined with my suggestions from last year, this already makes 48 ideas.
And if you share your suggestions in the comment field below, we’ll all have a wide and colourful range of small gift ideas to choose from.
