I got a China Snowman calendar last year to use every year. I also got myself a traditional paper one this year.

Holland and Barrett for me, lindor silver one and the Lego one I drag out every year for the boys.
Another one jealous of Monty bangles though and DS1 would have liked Nespresso but it sold out quickly!

@Friendshighschool - can I ask where you got your cheese one from? I was given one last year and thought my mum might like one but couldn't find one!

The jam one from Bon Maman and its wild strawberry today

The UNICEF one is such a brilliant idea

I have wrapped and sent 24 gifts to my parents in Spain, who are isolating due to being CV, in a tiny villiage (they have lived there 20 years). Little Christmas bits to enhance their festivities! They are huge Christmas people and it means a lot to them. Today is a 2 parter, in one box is a gingerbread house kit, and in a second box it loads and loads of things to decorate, tubes of icing, edible glitter, sweets and candy canes, sprinkles and other delights! I shall challenge them to try and outdo my one from last year (pictured) although I’m not sure if I’m even going to make one myself this year hahaha

Bit mean to make them eat pencils 🤭. Seriously though, great idea!

I have a scratchcard advent this year... No million pounds today :(

DD has a Benefit one and DS has pop funko Nightmare Before Christmas. They also both have plain Cadbury’s one. Might have to source a UNICEF one as I’m feeling guilty for spoiling them !

I knew someone was going to ask for a recipe for the pencils!

I usually wait till the chocolate ones are half price.....

EminyBOO · 01/12/2020 09:52

I haven’t got one for myself. I would love one of the luxury beauty ones but can’t justify the price.

Ds1 has the Lego Harry Potter one which he is SO excited about.
Ds2 has a Peppa pig toy one, which he couldn’t care less about 😂

I love the idea of the UNICEF one. I've just had a look and they're sold out but will definitely be getting one next year.
