Anyone know what I need to search for to find these numbers?

They're on my girls' Advent calendars & I want some to repair my own calendar that my mum made when I was little, over the course of the year, so it can go up with the rest of the decs next Christmas. (Yes, I know it's very early but the calendar is almost as big as me and has been in a box looking a bit sorry for itself for over 25 years now so I'd like to get it done).

Anyone know what I need to search for to find these numbers?

Stick on numerals
Sew on numerals
Try visiting a local market or card shop, they may sell some to put an age on a birthday card
Or, if most of yours have come off, design your own!
Go through some fonts on a computer.
Set them to the right size and cut out.
Use them as templates on sticky card, fancy fabric or even on the pockets and embroider the numbers.

Do these look similar?

@MyNameHasBeenTaken good idea to sew them onto the pockets; I have some gold embroidery thread upstairs from years ago! The laptop and printer will be out tomorrow so I'll print myself some templates while I'm at it.

@EduCated they do, I've saved them in my basket just in case embroidering the pockets doesn't work out well.

Thank you both; I'm looking forward to fixing my calendar now (although I can't see it being filled unless I do it for myself maybe...)

Fab! If it helps I think I googled something like ‘gold lame fabric appliqué numbers’
