It’s coming so close to Christmas now, I can nearly smell the mince pies I’ll be devouring! But it’s so much closer to the 1st December, and we all know what that means – an Advent Calendar with a tiny slab of chocolate for the kids. But they don’t have to be that way anymore. We have got a few this year and so I wanted to show what you can get instead.
Celebrations Advent Calendar
Now if you love Advent and still want the chocolate, then the Celebrations Advent Calendar is a great one for you. It includes 8 famous brands – Mars, Galaxy, Teasers, MilkyWay, Snickers, Twix, Bounty and Galaxy Caramel and each day comes with a wrapped Celebrations sweet inside – number 24 is special and has 2 though.
HARIBO Advent Calendar
If sweets are your things, then you can start your Christmas countdown with HARIBO and 24 windows that are hiding a merry mix of little treats which are themed, fun and perfect for those looking for an alternative to the traditional chocolate calendar. With Tropifrutti, Goldbears and MAOAM, it includes seasonal mini bags and themed jellies such as Santa’s boot, a red hatted reindeer and gold star topped Christmas tree!
Smiggle is one of our favourite stationery brands – with so many cute designs that are funky yet practical. This year they have released their fab Advent Calendar again, and it’s better than ever. With 25 days of limited edition Smiggle stationery surprises, and as always, find 1 of 25 lucky tickets inside & win a HUGE shopping spree worth 500 pounds! The calender retails at £25 and is suitable for children 6 years and over so ideal for school aged children, or us stationery loving adults and it contains items that value to over £40 in total.
Perfect for adults, this gorgeous, wreath shaped advent calendar is filled with 24 Tea Lights and a tea light holder so you can light them to envelop in their glorious scents. Each window of the Yankee Candle Wreath Advent Calendar opens to reveal a Scented Tea Light Candle, including Icy Blue Spruce, Glittering Star, All is Bright, Crackling Wood Fire, Snowflake Cookie, and Sparkling Cinnamon.
The Jack Wills Beauty Advent Calendar is packed full of beauty treats, perfect for the woman in your life. I bought this for myself as it just looked so lovely and some of the items hiding inside sounded delightful. With a mix of beauty and body items, it’s a mixed bag, full of glitz and glamour. It includes lip balms, nail varnishes as well as body scrubs and make-up brushes.
