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!!

Bought a DIY advent calendar in Guineys for 2.99
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.

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

I settled for ordering just the Galaxy one from Amazon. Usually get the M&S one and they're great for travel but no M&S calendar this year and no travel means there's no point in getting an expensive calendar when there's actually none of them that I would get value out of.

Has anyone seen any luxurious or unique Advent calendars online?

Looking for one as a gift and nothing is catching my eye.

Any criteria to go by...food, drink, beauty?:)

Anything really! Maybe something different... I’ve been searching Amazon for a while now. :P

Aldi wine or Prosecco calendars should be launched soon?

I reckon by Dec 1st we’ll all need a mini bottle a day just to keep us going

For anyone with kids who can get into a Smiggle...their advent calendars are down to €15 which is really good value considering the stuff in them (not a fan myself but the kids are).

We paid €26 each about a month ago

I think you just get 24 tealights and a tealight holder, not everything that is shown in the second picture!
