2022 Advent Calendars

Sheep Shagger

Boom!.....and we're off.

Spotted the first 2022 advent calendar of the year (that I've seen) for €42 in Smiggle Dundrum.

They always get cheaper in December.

A popular one in our house.

Lego ones are on pre sale now.

Lego ones available since the 01st Sept on their own site. 55 euros to get free shipping though, so could be worth waiting for them on Smyths unless you're ordering other items.

TRS30

Another popular one here. Usually get one for my Dad as well as a early birthday present from the kids.

Rituals Cosmetics Advent Calendars are out.

Our two told us over the weekend they didn't want advent calendars anymore. So the Mrs suggested we get an old fashioned wooden one or suchlike that just has the numbers that we can re-use every year.

I remember looking up ones like the Griswalds had in the Christmas Vacation film & they were extortionate so will need something cheaper if we are going down that route.

€600 is a bit pricey alright!!

Aldi actually had one last year, and I was thinking of getting it, but I already do chocolate ones and Lego ones, so I left it behind. it was very inexpensive and looked quite good.

White Company one came out today.

I recommend the Gibson's jigsaw advent calendar for anyone who likes jigsaws. They come with glue and string to make into decorations when you've completed them.

Thanks, did you get this in Ireland?

I've already googled this since seeing it yesterday. Their own website delivers to ireland but this year's calendar is "coming soon".

Thanks to @StudentforLife for the heads up, sounds like a calendar I'd love.

Thanks. Was there a price (even for last years)? Assume shipping and duty etc will add a bit.

£35 for the calendar. Shipping to Ireland is £5.99, don't know if they do the vat thing like amazon.

I've my annual Bird & Blend tea advent ordered (should arrive next week) & am getting a cross stitch one as well. I got some of the beauty ones before but I never seem to use the majority from them so decided to avoid them this year. Might pick up a cadburys one for a treat closer to the time but that'll be it.

Sheep Shagger

These are £8...assume they'll be here soon.

Nice, haven't seen that before. Biscuits are one of weaknesses so be hard to keep to one a day!

I'm the same. Wanted an old fashioned one like the one out of that film but the prices were astronomical!

Sheep Shagger

Mmmm no idea what the price in € is...and to be honest I don't care! I must have this!!

Say I'll go with the Haribo one again this year

Looking online nothing really new coming out

Sheep Shagger

Hotel Chocolat have theirs in.

€20 for singles and twin ones (for a couple) €36

Was in Boots today and they have an Advent calendar I've never seen before. If you're so inclined how about a face pack a day for 24 days in a row during Advent! 😃

Sheep Shagger

Some more in Tesco.

The selection from the local homesavers

Hoping a better selection appears

Ooh Toblerone or Kinder would go down very well in this house! I hadn't seen the Toblerone ones before.

Irish craft beer one (steep price increase from last year IIRC).
