A chocolate advent calendar with cocoa gin and salted caramel vodka. I think I'm in love.

There was me thinking I was posh with my Lindt advent calendar!

I saw an article yesterday where Aldi are bringing out wine, prosecco & I think the other one was gin advent calendars this year...

Posy

I will totally get a prosecco one if it's available in Irish shops!!

Hi everyone, has anyone gotten a manual advent calendar? Look what I found on AliExpress
http://s.aliexpress.com/Nv6Fnqye Is what I’m looking at. I have a 2.5 year old and would need to think what to put in it as I’d prefer not to get him one with all chocolate!!

I love the idea of the manual calendar, that would be so much fun to do and for the recipient to open as well

The Look Fantastic advent calendar is available for pre-order https://www.lookfantastic.com/beauty-box/lookfantastic-advent-calendar-2017-worth-over-300.00/11194782.html

I would love to get a Jo Malone or Liberty of London Advent calendar, but they are so expensive. The Estée Lauder one for this year looks great.

I want to get one of the Aldi ones, the one that has a mixture of red, white, rose and fizz. Think it would be such a fun one

Can't believe I'm joining the Christmas conversation already, but I saw this beard oil Advent Calendar, and I want to buy it NOW for my OH.

Seems they're out of stock, but hopefully they'll come back for this Christmas. Would be perfect for himself. Except I want it NOW. :pac:

Isn't it though!!

I've just sent thebeardedman company an email to see if they'll be doing it again this year. I'd imagine they will, but I'll update when I hear back. Already excited at the thought - just a perfect pre-Christmas present!

Haribo calendars bought for the childers this year. There's Lego all over the place from the previous 2 years, and I've no money for an extension.

Toots

I'll be getting the star wars Lego calendar for the little dude again this year. He saw it in the shops the other day but I'll have to wait til payday because it's about €30! I had the Yankee candle one last year but I think I'll give it a miss this year because the two big calendars took up a lot of room.

ooh I must keep an eye out for the yankee one again.....thanks for the reminder :-)

baby and crumble

I was a little disappointed in the yankee calendar last year because it was literally 4 scents and just repeated. Shame really.

That really is disappointing because I was going to get one this year. I'm glad you said that!

Hey all

Just to update, I got a reply from The Bearded Man (company, not some hairy person

), and these will be released again in October - date to be confirmed.

Same here. And their tealights are tiny, they burned out in no time. I got the calendar on a discount, I think I paid €13 for it, bit if I'd paid full price I'd be annoyed.

Have to say though, the Lego star wars calendar was absolutely great value!
