Any thoughtson what little gifts you could get for a man? My OH doesn't eat chocolate and the ones with little pockets seem ace...it's just finding tiny things to go in them!

for a girlfriend/boyf how about putting some little promises in there too - ie long, wintery walk, i will make you a hot chocolate, candlelit bath, massage, i will take you xmas shopping and carry your bags without moaning romantic meal etc. i'd love on of those!

Had this problem recently for a little girl who is not allowed chocolate due to diabetic, bought a felt calender, either snowman or santa from Poundland and used hair bits and bobs, notes, erasers, craft bits, non diabetic sweets. Depends really on age.
