If so, which one? I was very disorganised this year, as I normally have a pork scratching one, but couldn't find one this year. I've gone for a lindt one instead...

Yep. A gin one. 24 miniatures to try out in December unless I have a really bad day and open it in one go

Dh and dds have chocolate and ds has star wars Lego. Ddog has his own doggy one Smile

Yes, a tea light candle one (not the overpriced Yankee one - the cheap Home Bargains one!)

I got a M&S one this year, I know someone who works there so got staff discount or I wouldn’t have got it. I normally have a standard chocolate one so quite excited to open some nice things everyday

MayFayner · 30/11/2019 19:49

Yes, I got a lovely wooden one house-shaped one from Lidl. There’s nothing inside the little doors though, so I’ll have to sort that. I think I’ll put something non-food in, not sure what yet.

ParkheadParadise · 30/11/2019 19:52

DH bought me a Jo Malone advent calendar.
Dd has been to the shops with DH, came back with 2 lindt advent calendar BOGOF.

AnneLovesGilbert · 30/11/2019 19:52

I usually get the M&S beauty one and DH a vintage sweets one but we’ve just done them for the kids this year - we have wooden refillable ones I’m yet to completely fill Shock

mbosnz · 30/11/2019 19:53

We've all got one! I've made ones for the girls, and I leave clues in the drawers to direct them to where the little something is left. . . so I can do things like candles, face masks, make up, art supplies, stuff like that.

I got DH a red wine advent calendar.

And he got me a Molton Brown one, bless him.

I go a bit silly about Christmas. . .

KipperTheFrog · 30/11/2019 19:55

DH has a toblerone one, I have a Lindt teddy one, DDog has Tesco advent calendar for dogs, both DD’s have homemade ones. It’s activities and a toy nativity scene rather than chocolate.

MotherOfFiveCats · 30/11/2019 19:55

Yep, I have two Blush a Lindt one as well as a Cath Kidston one I’ve had gifted to me Smile

DH gets one for me. I won't know what it is until tomorrow but it will be a traditional card one.
