Post it notes or stationery of his liking.
Does he wear specs? Glasses cleaner.
A leather strip for his ponytail (I'm assuming he still has one)
He does wear glasses, lens cleaner is a good idea.
He does still have long hair. But it’s cheap and cheerful hair bands. That gets replaced when the elastic has packed its bags and left home . He’s got a bag of a 100 . I could put some of those in. But things like that would never get put away by anyone other than me

A quick update. Unfortunately when the glass blown flamingo arrived. It was far too big for the calendar. Still lovely, so it’s staying. Just not for its original purpose.
So far I have
little frog
mini bottle of gin,
3 lots of fishing feathers.
Made a keyring with a mini granny square [attachment=7908]
Collected a few tiny shells & stones from the beach. Going to arrange them and set them into a larger shell.
PZ2 screw driver bits
£1
Won from a well known auction site, this morning
antique Miniature pocket compass.
A honey bee pin. Also look quite old. And a bit unusual.
Think that’s it so far. I’ll have to check. But it’s all in the other caravan and we seem to of swapped!

USB stick
Bulldog clip - I used those out of crackers to clip supermarket receipts together. A bit anal perhaps but quite interesting to see price hikes over the years.
Tube of super glue
Small roll of sellotape.
A dog treat, or two, that he has to give immediately to the dogs.
Homemade bookmark
One of those really really small solid bouncy balls.
Bath bomb
Mini sparklers

Thanks JJB.
Really like the dog treats idea. That’s brilliant

An 'iou' from you for anything he particularly likes (within reason
) say for a special meal, or a a trip somewhere, even a day of silence
