2020 Advent Calendars

Day Lewin

And see what flopped into my email inbox this morning!

First Advent Calendar this year, from The Body Shop.

Does feel a bit weird in August, I have to say.

Looking quite nice, too. Fifty quid, though!!

It's mad how popular the No. 7 calendar is! I'd say it'll be sold out sharpish.

If you are still looking? amazon has an amazing selection of these. From E2.99 upwards.. I am tempted.

Several with figures.

Not to sound righteous or anything but alot of these are aload of tat at a huge mark up as they have put it in a fancy box. Some of the chocolate ones have less chocolate than a normal bar of chocolate!!

A couple of years ago we bought some advent calender on a rope with small bags.

I mostly fill them up, We put in what we want, I get good decent chocolate and some small gifts from the euro shop, But things that would be useful on the run up to Christmas.

Its also more sustainable, less waste and things you would actually use.

Something like this.

That is brilliant! What a lovely idea and it will become a part of your family Christmas traditions..

I am very traditional and follow the Advent Wreath custom, 4 candles for the 4 Sundays of Advent and a central Christmas candle in an evergreen wreath. I one had the pink/purple candles .. This is from last year.

I need two wreaths this year.. one for the big gate and another in here!

It’s very cute with a bag for each day so I can put whatever I want into it for the kids. I’ll try take a picture if it and post it soon but very cute.

So my local Supervalu didn't have the Cadburys calendars so I went to Tesco and they had them, 4 euros each. Glad to be sorted so early!

Has anyone seen the Cadburys one yet? I saw that Dunnes have Lindt ones, and also Lindt chocolate Santa's. I usually get the kids the Aldi calendars but going "upmarket" with Cadburys this year and Lego Friends. I haven't tried Tesco yet.

We got the Lego ones for a few years. 3 boys here, they took turns opening a door each day. Got to the point though where we were getting the same stuff each year. And we've loads of Christmas Lego now. Instead, now that they're a bit older, they get a fancy chocolate one each, as in a €5 one instead of the fake chocolate €1 ones. Lindt, Reeses, Hershey's, that kind of thing.

I get your point and I agree with some of it but my little one is lego mad and I know it will be a big hit and each piece will be used and played with.

I really like those little bags. I think I'd find it hard and expensive filling them, that's just the way I am though.
I do agree that over the last few years especially all these companies have jumped on the bandwagon. I cant comment on the products as the only one I got before aside from the chocolate ones was a lego one which was great for my lad.
For me I love the old fashioned standard chocolate ones with the picture on the inside of the card. Theres a certain smell you get from them and the nostalgia and memories that come with it is priceless.

Rituals have their advent calendar out

Got one for mother in law, arrived Friday.

Agree some of the chocolate ones are a rip off but a lot including the Rituals are good value, good sized gifts each day. They're all/or about introducing people to the brand and stuff they may never buy in full sized.

White Company one is out too...€200 though.
