Need ideas for Hubby's Advent Calender! Help please!

jalara

Hey all! So my husband and I have a Christmas tradition of a cute little wooden Advent Calender that we put little presents into for each other. He does odd days, and I do even days.

Well, thankfully yesterdy was an odd day, but today is my day to leave a little something for him and I am STUMPED. It can't be much larger than an 1.5 inches, unless it bends, and I don't want to just give him candy. I want to give him a little gift.

Last night mine was a string of beads (I make jewwllery) and a stamp (for scrapbooking). But his only hobby is golf, and he has way too many tees and golf balls already!

Women are easy to buy for.... but men.... I'm clueless - help please!

Tickets to a movie you want to see (double bonus - a gift for him, something you want to see and a date night).
Gift certificate to a restaurant
Certificate for an intimate massage from you
You can make it a treasure hunt - so the bigger gift can be in another part of the house and you just put the first clue in the
calendar

I think this is a great idea and could be lots of fun just think outside the box.

This isn't helpful, but all the ads on this page for me are for gifts... Hilarious!

Ooooo, Iove this idea! I totally agree with the certificates idea and the treasure hunt too.

Other small ideas:

Flash Drive
Key Chains
Rings
Fun pair of dice
Whistle
A teeny tiny teddy bear (from Michael's?) - you can mist some of your perfume on it
Scrabble Tile pendant (artsy - TONS available on Etsy.com)
1" Button/Flair (again, you can find fun/funky, cute ones on Etsy.com)
Figurine of some sort for his desk

a golf ball marker. I have one that clips onto my hat that has my college team emblem on it. Something like that my fit.
