Fill with marbles
Fill with plastic knitting needles and wool (girl)
Fill with small shape cutters and biscuit mix
Fill with chunky crayons and rolled up colouring pics (toddler)
Fill with basic sewing kit eg scissors, needles, threads, tape measure, pins etc
Fill with funsize sweets or penny sweets
Fill with socks
Fill with boxers/knickers
Fill with bath bombs

socks and boxers sound strong possibility for grandson............I'm really scratching my head for novely stuff for him and if I coil them round so they have to be pulled up from the middle somehow he might find that a giggle.........or he'll think his nans lost the plot total :rotfl:

Yippee :j thanks Mary - first pic I've posted (forgot to resize one! :rolleyes:) Was so unsure about posting them- but I quite like them!:o

poohzee - did think about survival kit but I've sorted out some jars for that as a possibility or a couple of little boxes I've got. I think the Twix tube would take a bit of filling up with stuff
