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...

Seven Shock

The boys (much older) have a chocolate one each and the toddler has a playmobil. Now I’m thinking she is going to be upset with that and I should get a chocolate one too

I’ve got a Malteser one

Not quite linked but I get each of my class to make a card with a nice message inside. We then put them in bags with the numbers on and I use a name generator each day to see who gets it! I can spin again if they get their own.

I got really fed up of more chocolate when most of the children have more than one calendar already!

I don't have one 😭 dds bought themselves the Harry potter funko pop one with money they made selling old toys. I haven't got them one but was going to write a quote/joke for each day in their lunch boxes and at the weekends an activity for each day. (got some cheap crackers for them to pull with the activity inside)

smemorata · 30/11/2019 20:39

Yes. It's got pictures behind doors. What more could you want? Grin

IndieTara · 30/11/2019 20:42

I've got a 3D traditional scene with pictures.

The DC have Cadbury's, DDs choice.

Floralnomad · 30/11/2019 20:54

The Percy Pig one is chocolate for normal days and Percy pigs on the last day so not really Percy pigs .
I’ve got a pork scratching one , dh has a large Hero’s , dd has Where’s wally and the dog has a wainwright’s one , he had Lily’s kitchen last year but didn’t like any of the biscuits and I had to substitute gravy bones so I’m hoping for more success with him .

CarmonEileen · 30/11/2019 20:57

@Aragog i found a sock advent calendar in Asda, only 12 days but for £12 it's not bad. My dd12 loves socks too Grin

DH went in to get DD1 and DD2 a Cadbury one and got us one each as well. I don't usually bother with one.
