What was in your Advent calendar??

[FrozenPonds]

My 5 year old was up at 5.30 to discover a small blonde girl in her Playmobil Advent calendar.

I have more civilised Yankee candle opening scheduled for this evening.

DDs aren't up yet which I am very surprised about as they were VERY excited. They both have Playmobil calendars and the elf is hanging upside down in the inglenook 😁

[MelanieCheeks]

M&S beauty one here - Philip Kingsley's elasticizer. I think I've used this before, but I have short hair so I don't use many hair products.

Dd (4) is chocolate so she opens hers after dinner. Is that mean?

[MythicalKings]

Santa's head. A bit macabre, I thought.

[LegoClone]

I think it's supposed to be Jabba's sail barge. It's not one of Lego's best micro models tbh, but then they've done all the more recognisable models in previous calendars and it's not easy designing something with so few bricks to work with.

Mine got a chocolate coin today.
It's a home fill calendar and we're doing the activity card thing but it's not going to be everyday. Some days it's just a coin!!

Elf on the shelf is arriving on the 12th so I only have to do 12 ideas! Haha

[kelda]

A very nice praline chocolate from Godiva [santa]

[TheGonnagle]

The good people of Prostate sent me a very lovely truffle! Goodbye No-vember (dull diet) hello chocolates and wine!

[OvO]

A chocolate Christmas tree for me and little Nutella portions for the
DC.

[Jinglebellsarenearlyhere]

A lovely copper star cookie cutter that I had admired in a shop a few weeks ago. DH is going all out this year. DD got a Lindt chocolate ball and DH a key ring for his new but very second hand car! Advent calendars and stockings are the main event in this household!

[ForeverLivingMyArse]

Books! Its alternating and started with ds1 who has a horrible history book to read over breakfast!

[OvO]

I forgot about our fuzzy felt calendar!

We got a snowman in that. My 8 year old was surprisingly taken with the fuzzy felt thing.

[wonkylegs]

DHs was a starwars lego micro model, DSs was a starwars micro machines star fighter and a chocolate coin. I don't have one

[LikeSilver]

No7 calendar for me - Protect and Perfect day cream. DD got the blonde girl in her Playmobil calendar. DH got a chocolate reindeer but has got manflu so DD and I shared it

[FrozenPonds]

Ohh, the copper cookie cutter sounds awesome!

I'll have to drop hints for Christmas, I love copper.

5.30am though, I'll be a wreck by Christmas Eve at this rate .

[attheendoftheday]

Small wooden bracelet each for the dds and picture of a sleeping gruffalo in the picture one.

[MyIronLung]

2 tiny Lego remote control cars and a chocolate coin in ds(4) calendar. I don't have one .

[StrawberrytallCake]

Liberty Calendar - tulip hand cream by some company I've never heard of.

[StrawberrytallCake]

dd1 (where's wally) - a snowman
dd2 (gruffalo) - a sssssssssssnake

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

Ds (Thorntons The Snowman) got a white chocolate sock

[SymphonyofShadows]

I had the hair stuff from the M&S calendar and DS2 has had the star wars fighter. Both DS's have had a chocolate too

[Sheusedtobesomeonelse]

Pink nail varnish in my body shop one!
I woke early this morning..

[Quornmakesmefart]

Sheusedtobe I got cranberry shimmering body lotion in my Body Shop one today - now I'm wondering if I opened the wrong number

[elQuintoConyo]

DS got a chocolate Bambi in his Thomas the Tank Engine calendar from my dad (here on hols).

When he comes home from school he'll open the one we bought him from Aldi: Lighteni g McQueen, he'll get sometjing crafty every day (crayobs, stamp kit, stencils). We thought we'd get that rather than chocolat . .. then Grandad brought one from UK
