21 silly presents for a 21st birthday

Options
Hello,

My friend turns 21 tomorrow and he's far from home (New Zealand). I've only known him a few months but I'd like to get him 21 silly presents. Can anyone suggest anything (relatively cheap) to add to

A wooden tangram puzzle
A dinky hotwheels car
A Lego minifigure

I've been ill for the last couple weeks so unable to go out and get things. I'm off tomorrow though so can go out and find some bits and bobs.

  • Some kind of novelty sweets - the sort of thing you can get in Home Bargains or B and M. Maybe some naff comedy socks from Poundland too?
  • Do you have a Home Bargains nearby? They often have '21' keyrings, magnets and coasters for 19p ish each. xx

    If you can find one, a penny from his birth year.
    I have done this for a few of my friends, and for friends children (in USA this goes down really well!) soak in coke to get it sparking and put it in a ring box if you have one.

    ETA, also some stationary, a notebook, again if you have BandM or home bargains, or poundland you'll get that. Some silly sweets from when we were kids, refeshers, parma violets, flumps etc.
