Gifting

The gift that opens all December.

A chocolate calendar is finished by the 5th. This one keeps giving right up to Christmas Eve.

One gift, six occasions.

Fidget-friendly

Why it works

A safe gift when you don’t know what to buy.

  • ✓

    It's a daily event

    Instead of one moment on Christmas morning, it's a small joy every day in December.

  • ✓

    It suits a wide age range

    Good for kids, teens and adults — which makes it an easy pick when you're unsure.

  • ✓

    It's a real gift, not a token

    It reads as thought-through, without costing what a 'proper' present does.

  • ✓

    It gets used after Christmas

    The minis stay on desks and in pencil cases long after the holidays end.

An honest note

Who it isn’t for.

We’d rather tell you than have you find out after ordering.

  • –Children under 3 — the minis are a genuine choking risk.
  • –Anyone who wants a substantial main present — this is a small gift.
  • –People who dislike clutter — 24 little toys is 24 little toys.
  • –Anyone who needs it before 1 December and is ordering late.
Look inside
