    I was thinking maybe a box full of little individually wrapped gifts with dates to open them on...

    We used to do the whole advent calender thing when I was a kid, I remember me and my brother always had to do something crazy or fun to get them though, like jumping on the bed singing Jingle Bells or something... one day I got a little lipgloss, it was awesome.

    I was thinking things like candies and little dollar store toys and things... I know how excited I would be to get something like that.

      Thats what im thinking too! Hes going to get 12 envelopes with a letter for each day, and a corresponding present for that day i.e. the letter will explain how i love that he is young at heart, and the gift will be a slinky, a yoyo etc.....or a letter saying how sweet he is and the present will be a stocking full of sweets

        Day one: Young at heart (because i love that he is very young at heart)

        Toys from our youth from the local hawkins bazaar, a slinky, a water pistol, a paper glider, a yo-yo and some fake moustaches all came to about £3

        Day Seven: Golf (He loves to play golf)

        Golfers mints, chocolate golf balls, golf tees, and a golf lovers gift set

        Day nine: Box of kisses (an idea i got off the forums on here )

        A handmade box with hersheys kisses inside

        For his actual presents ive got so far a dvd of a G3 gig where three of his favourite guitar soloists perform, an iron maiden wallet, a tin of megadeth guitar picks, 2 band t-shirts, an i tune voucher (he loves his bands incase you hadnt noticed lol)

        Ive been strapped for cash too but ive been doing overtime and buying a little each week, and ive made my own xmas stationary using xmas stamps from my craft box so its a big task but getting there lol

              For little gifts, you could make a little movie if you have a digital camera or even your webcam. That's free and fun! You could make or buy an ornament for his tree, that could even be a keepsake later! If he drinks, you could send a little airplane shot of his fav poison and a bottle of coke! You could make a little picture book of all the stuff you're going to when you guys see each other again, so he knows what to look forward too! These ideas might be a little late since its 3 days til Christmas though... so sorry about that!
