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)
 I like the pocket hero. That looks cool toy.
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  Rolleyes .

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     
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

That’s a good idea for a meal of his choice. He regularly gets silence. It can be for days at a time  Big Grin Wink .

I’m going to make a mini scroll to write it on. The plan is currently forming.
