We've got a Dream Snow one which is lovely and reusable. Santa always puts chocolates in the boxes under the tree on Christmas Eve.

I am considering the old fashioned ones - the paper ones where you guess the picture. They are 3.50 on Amazon

WH Smith have a selection of card ones, some of them 3D or with bits to cut out etc for around a fiver. I refused to pay for a Lego one this year!

Last year I bought a material pocket one and then I bought littlest pet shops off eBay for each pocket. I’m doing the same this year but with barbie clothes.

Also my kids don't get one each - part of the fun is waiting for your turn to come round.

Thank you. I should have been clearer I meant one with toys of make up ones. I wish they would share.

I like the playmobil ones but I think £30 for two is a lot 😬😬

Do you need to have an account with the book people?

I bought a make up and a non branded Lego advent calendar from Wilko for £5 and £8. They seem good value.

I saw some nice sticker ones in John Lewis, a bit like the paper ones. There was a gruffalo but can't remember the others. The stickers create a lovely scene

Hi! The entertainer have fake lego ones that are compatible with lego half price at £7.50 each and they're fab! You end up with a Christmas winter scene.
