Dairy free Advent Calendar- what shops sell them?

I would like to take DD to buy her advent calendar at the end of November and just wondering if anyone knows which shop sells them? If any shop do. Online, anyone found nice ones for children?

I'm pretty sure Sainsburys, and probably most supermarkets, do them, or just look on the vegan online stores and have the elf bring it!
We avoid dairy, I have bought a reusable wooden advent calendar that I fill up with various non-dairy treats.

Thanks lentil
We have a wooden one and always used it but this year I just wanted to take her to a shop and buy one together that she can choose...although there probably won't be much choice. She has Crohn's and misses out on so much as it is when it comes to food.

Cross post. Do you remember which ones? We're they child friendly?

Last year Waitrose stocked Moo Free advent calendars and Moo Free Santa shapes. If you call waitrose nearer the time they can tell you what branches stock them.

I really like the moo free choc, its sweeter than most dairy free choc and the advent calendar had nice child friendly pics behind each door.

If you can't find them in a shop, I've ordered online from goodness direct in the past.

One year oxfam had divine plain choc advent calendars, might be worth a look too.

Being intolerant to dairy myself, I often find it a challenge to find a non dairy advent calendar (yes, that's right, I still like one even at my age Grin )
Last year I found a great selection in WH Smiths.

Sorry, forgot to add, the one I had didn't have anything behind the doors in the way of chocolate or sweets, it was just Christmassy themed family friendly jokes. You could also get ones with Christmas scenes, Smile

I just bought ours plus a dairy free santa from www.goodnessgoodies.co.uk postage reasonable although I live locally so was able to collect from them. If you are in Forest Hill, SE London, you could do same. Hope that helps.

Holland and Barrett do a great dairy free advent calendar for just £3.19 !!
They also have an excellent selection of dairy free christmas treats.

I saw them in Holland and Barrett too today, and their Booja Booja chocs are much cheaper than Ocado!

The Moo ones say rice milk, are they still ok for little ones? Ds is too little for one at the moment but planning ahead.

Got excited about cheap booja booja then but they're dearer than our local shop.

Simply dark was linked from here the other day for chocolate buttons. They are lovely

The holland and Barrett Booja Booja say they are soya free, but Ocado says they contain soya lecithin- does anyone know if they've changed their recipe.
