mini Peanut Butter Cup in mineGrin

I've given up on cat ones - my cat always half sucks those green catnip things and leaves the sesulting slime in my duvet - I just give her a treat I've sneaked out of a bag when I open a window.

We only got DS one this year (space from M&S) but I want one now. Is it too late?

Dog treat 😜

MIL got both boys Lindt advent calendars this year. I'm looking forward to eating most of DS2s (I'll swap the lindt balls for chocolate coins as they look dangerous for a toddler).

The chocolate balls have a soft, gooey filling. If you cut them in half or quarters, they’ll be perfectly safe for a toddler.

@MinnieMountain - course it's not too late - wait until tomorrow and you might find one half price.
I was torn between lindt teddies and the peanut butter - seem to be a popular choice.

I got a coffee one, so it'll be a sachet of coffee every day, I'm saving it for a hit of caffeine this afternoon.

I used to get an advent calendar with a nativity scene as a child and opened the door to just a picture. Double doors on Christmas Eve. Grin
