Hi Cherry24
A few suggestions

-Reindeer food (oats and sugar to sprinkle on Christmas eve)
-Grinch pills (using apple tic tacs)
-Snowman poop (mint tic tacs or white marshmallows)
Hope this helps

When I did this for my fianc! two years ago I included a small chocolate and a paper chain strip with something I loved about him written on it. We then linked the paper chain together each day.
You could think of 24/25 things you loved about him....wow, i would struggle after three....lol,,,anyhoo back to original poster - sexy thong, magic flannel, hankies in the shape of bank notes, tiny earphones.0 -

I bought iscreen wipes for my DD last year, as she is worse than a toddler for getting sticky prints on her ipod etc. They were 79p in B&M.0

I've been searching and found some more ideas

Small candle (my boyfriend loves Yankee candles and the really small ones are only £1-2)
Socks (maybe some nice festive ones!)
Tie (if he wears them)
Fudge
IOU massage voucher with a little bottle of oil included
If he's a foodie then little packets of honey/jam/nutella/marmite
Kitchen accessories like an ice cream scoop or milk foamer
Mulled wine sachet/ingredients to make your own
Candy canes
Gingerbread (maybe in a cute shape like a heart)
Bookmark
Lego figure (depends how childish he is...my boyfriend still loves Lego
)
Mistletoe
Underwear
I'll keep thinking
