Quack the Ducklings

Our pick

Quack the Ducklings

7,95 EUR

Two small peach ducklings, one with its eyes open and one dreaming, 9 cm tall. The best seller of these twenty-four on our webshop over the last twelve months.

  • Two in one, sitting together
  • Marked for all ages
  • Under eight euro

At 9 cm it is a small plush, so it fills a door rather than making the main present.

Large jute rope basket

02

Large jute rope basket

7,95 EUR

The bigger of our two jute baskets, woven in coiled rope with two looped handles. Somewhere to keep the small things from the other doors.

Pros, and the catch
  • Two looped handles
  • Hand-braided jute
  • Under eight euro

It is a basket, so it holds the game rather than being one.

Emma wooden watch

03

Emma wooden watch

6,95 EUR

A wooden watch with painted numbers and hands, on a stretchy strap.

Pros, and the catch
  • Beech wood, with a stretchy strap

Jute rope basket

04

Jute rope basket

4,95 EUR

A small jute basket woven in a zigzag pattern, 18 x 10 x 11 cm, with a flat base.

Pros, and the catch

Rabbit Saving Bank

05

Rabbit Saving Bank

9,95 EUR

A white rabbit money box, 11 cm tall, with a twist cap underneath to take the coins out.

Pros, and the catch
  • Somewhere for the coins that arrive at Christmas
  • Twist cap underneath
  • Sized for a shelf or a bedside table

It is marked not a toy, so it belongs on a shelf rather than in the toy box.

Leonie giraffe bead maze

06

Leonie giraffe bead maze

9,95 EUR

Wooden beads on a curling wire around a small giraffe, for a baby who sits up.

Pros, and the catch
  • Solid wood base
  • Under ten euro
  • For the baby in the house who also has a calendar

Mini Magnetic Colour Maze

07

Mini Magnetic Colour Maze

9,95 EUR

Coloured beads under a sealed glass top, moved with a magnetic pen. Quiet, and nothing can be lost.

Pros, and the catch

It does one thing: once the beads are sorted, the game starts again.

How we chose · What a calendar door actually needs

Best sellers firstThe seven above are the seven of these twenty-four that our webshop sold most over the last twelve months, in that order. The rest are in the table.

Twenty-four times under ten euroFilling a calendar is a budget problem before it is a taste problem. Every item on this page is under ten euro, so the whole calendar stays sensible.

Check it works on the morningMost things here work straight out of the box. The two craft kits need making first, and the one item that runs on batteries comes with them.

Before you fill it

Questions we get asked

Do you sell the calendar itself?

No. We sell the things that go inside one. This page exists because filling a calendar is the harder half.

Is everything really under ten euro?

Yes. Every item on this page is under ten euro at the price shown, and the prices on this page are read straight from the shop.

Will twenty-four small items reach free shipping?

Free shipping starts at 49 EUR, so a calendar's worth of items clears it comfortably.

Are these suitable for a three year old?

The ages differ, so check each product page. The doll keyring kit is marked from five, and the two saving banks, the straw basket and the small jute basket are marked not a toy.

What if one thing is unavailable?

The small gifts collection has more under ten euro. Swap the item, not the door.

Twenty-four doors, one budget, no calendar required.

Fill it from this page and the most expensive door still costs under ten euro.
