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.

Ferrero Rocher and I also have a cheese calendar. Yum. Not been able to find a traditional nativity advent calendar anywhere. Where are they?!

We do an activity calendar and the first one is 'watch a Christmas film' so will do that after school/work.

Nothing says Christmas more than a Lego Privet Drive sign. Xmas Grin

@LefttoherownDevizes that calendar is torture! I learnt the hard way last year and never again!

My kids opened the door to a picture today because I completely forgot to set up our reusable calendar with sweets in so they just had their paper ones.

They were surprisingly excited by it, it was really sweet actually!

Love the classical songs idea! Mine is the M+S beauty calendar so we shall see!

Footle · 01/12/2021 07:48

@Pashazade , I want to see

MinnieMountain · 01/12/2021 07:51

Right, I’m going to Asda on my way to work. I want the Ferrero Rocher one.

MrzClaus · 01/12/2021 07:51

A pair of little huggie earrings (Astrid and miyu calendar!) and a small hotel chocolat chocolate!

SoSobored · 01/12/2021 07:51

@Newhorizon21 I have that one too! Advent calendar twins

CoverYourselfInChocolateGlory · 01/12/2021 07:51

Marmitecake- I found a traditional one in the Wells Cathedral gift shop. Then felt guilty about not getting DD a chocolate one so now she has two Blush

I'm very envious of the sound of your advent calendars - wish I'd got myself one!

ChessieFL · 01/12/2021 07:53

I have a Back To The Future play Mobil one and today’s was a small dog. I also have a Heroes one and it was crème egg.

ChiefAdjusterOfRubensShorts · 01/12/2021 07:54

A tea light in one calendar (Yankee Candle) and some hair primer in the other (Latest in Beauty)

I have two and yes I’m spoilt! Grin

Fuggly · 01/12/2021 07:57

A teaspoon ( Bonne Maman ) presumably to eat all the marmalade to follow.

HairyScaryMonster · 01/12/2021 07:59

My girls have a fill yourself one, today was glow in the dark unicorn shapes (like the stars the cool kids had on their ceiling in the 90s)

BringOnTheScience · 01/12/2021 08:02

A purple sparkly d20.

@RichardMarxisinnocent

Behind today's door is a drawing of a bible. I think I'm probably not the target audience for this thread!
This made me laugh out loud 😂
Pashazade · 01/12/2021 08:09

@Footle
Here you go. Not very exciting right now but it's a gradient calendar from a hand dyer. 😁

What's in your advent calendar?
