We've got an Advent calendar that needs to be filled up each year. I've got a heap of little Lego toys (from their Advent calendar - we've split it up to go over 3 years), I've also done little toys (ie bouncy balls, stretchy lizards), this year I was going to take a picture of somewhere in the house that I can hide bigger things like colouring books that won't fit in the calendar. The idea of family activities is great, also love the gelati one.

I know you've got a little boy, but for girls hair ribbons and clips are great too.
