Overview
- Today’s update spotlights four non-gift formats—puzzle, tea, riddle and homemade fortune-cookie calendars—prioritizing experiences and messages over purchases.
- A price-checked list shows filling a calendar for under €2 per day is feasible, with examples such as muesli bars (€0.33), mini toiletries (€0.79–€0.85) and bath bombs (€1.99).
- Budget packaging swaps include socks, jars, envelopes, tins or shoeboxes, with simple string and clips replacing store-bought hanging sets.
- DIY fillers extend to homemade jam, cookies, chocolate, bath bombs, soap and small craft items, alongside kid-focused ideas like daily riddles or coloring pages.
- Free downloads offer ready-to-print day numbers and PDF guides that streamline planning, filling and personalization on short notice.
