I have a friend whose 30th birthday is coming up, and I had an idea that I could give her 30 tiny presents, in some sort of boxes.
And I thought that some kind of advent calendar might be a way of displaying the gifts. I know that some of the chocolate ones you buy in the shops go up to 30 or 31 days, rather than the traditional 24/25. But when I've searched for any of the kits or re-fillable ones, they are always 24 or 25 days only.
So, I'm looking for some kind of plain (i.e., not Christmas decorated - either one that can be decorated, or a wooden one, or vaguely wintery themed etc) Advent calendar, that has 30 pockets or drawers or other containers.
Oh, and preferably cheap! Apparently Tesco did some £5 chipboard drawer ones one year, that could be recovered to make it not Christmassy, but I don't think they still have them (not that I saw, anyway). But the drawer ones that I've seen are starting at about £18.
I also don't have very many days to do it, so hoping for actual physical shops, or online sources with very fast delivery times...
Any of you fabulously organised Christmassy types seen anything that might fit the bill?
