Christmas is suddenly all around us, from foods, gift and decorations in stores to Christmas lights bringing some magic to the streets. With the 1st of December fast approaching I thought I would share some of the beautiful new Advent Calendars, that I have discovered this season.
A year ago I blogged about the 12 best last minute advent calendars to buy, some which are still available online. We also shared some DIY Advent Calendars – for crafty parents.
In this round up I have gathered a small favourite selection of this years Gift Advent Calendars, to help countdown to Christmas. Small pockets or boxes are to be filled with sweet words, poems, activities or little treasures.
Most of the calendars included here are reusable, some duplicates as playful toys and some are even so decorative you would want to leave it out for long after Christmas has passed. So without further ado…
