advent calenders for men?

iammumtoone

This year instead of buying a Christmas present for my Dads partner I am going to get her a beauty advent calendar and a small gift for the day

I would like to get my dad one as well so they can open them together.

Any suggestions? Heres the hard bit..... budget £20 max, as I will buying him a larger present for the day.

Thanks

I bought a tea bag Advent calendar for my mum a couple of years ago. There are some on Amazon, but this is the one I bought:

Advent calendars for men are so much more difficult. I tend to buy quite a bit from the £ shops (great for tools, gadget/tech accessories, sweets, toiletries) especially if you can split the packs into smaller items to cover two or three days. I bought things like: mini aluminium torch, suitcase padlock, a small knife for opening stubborn packaging, car chamois, sachets of car shampoo, mini screwdrivers, credit card sized multi-tool, spare phone charger cable, mini power bank (they have these in Pound World at the moment), mini WD40 can, suitcase padlock, luggage tags, and an aluminium spork.

Last year I found some sample packs of different ground coffees which were inexpensive in one of the main supermarket chains, and I also added some interesting tea sachets. I think they were from Whittard, can't remember, but Twinings might do mixed boxes.

Mix some sweets in with that for 'cheaper' days and you could easily bring it in for £20.

I packaged everything up in paper bags and wrote the date on each.
