Last year I got this BRILLIANT (eye roll) idea to do an advent for my teen daughter. I couldn’t find one I loved (the other two got awesome lego advent calendars!) There were makeup ones–and bath bombs ones and lots of other themed ones…but I wanted one that wasn’t so specific. So I created my own! And I thought I would share in case anyone needed to help with one too!
So 24 things can add up pretty fast! I tried to be somewhat frugal so I didn’t break the bank.
What do put in a teen advent calendar:
- bath bomb
- face mask
- lipgloss or lipstick
- eyelash curler
- nose strip
- iTunes song
- earrings (or any jewelry)
- a note from mom
- a note from dad
- fuzzy socks
- scrunchies
- fun pen or scented gel pens
- favorite gum
- favorite candy
- hand sanitizer
- sunglasses
- new phone case
- breath mints
- keychain
- gratitude journal
- nail polish
Here is how I cut down on costs: I bought things on sale–and split it all up! I got a whole set of earrings and each set was a day (I just punched tags out and popped the earrings into them! I did this was the scrunchies too-a set of 3 that I split up into 3 days. Walmart has some really cheap sets!
I also made these printables and cut them up and she got a couple of fun songs of her choosing.
Here are the printables for the itunes.
I paired them with my fun advent printables!
