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.

A mini curly wurly. Mum got me a really nice Cadbury one this year and I was shocked when I opened it to find an actual chocolate bar haha.

My DD has been ill so I forgot to get one 😭 might see if I can get one for tomorrow and start then.

I got a picture of a Christmas tree on top of a car 😁 traditional door one.

Late to the party, but I've got a plant advent calendar. It's got air plants, succulents, cacti etc. It's lovely. I got a succulent this morning in a little hanging pot.

I'd asked DP for a small globe terrarium and plants for Christmas.....now I've got 24 of them 😂😂😂

ThinWomansBrain · 01/12/2021 18:32

amazing how many varieties - but yes, rarely see picture ones now.
I did fancy a cheese one, but didn't see one anywhere (and I don't like blue cheese, but I suppose I could give blue chees ones to the cat).

I had a fill it yourself one last year - but didn't realise until day 3 - just kept opening windows and thinking it was a bit crap Confused

Just pictures, now eyeing up the dc's chocolate calendars with envy.

Today it was a picture of a gingerbread man. Am I the only one with a traditional style calendar?

Ew, no thank you. I love peanuts, not so keen on chocolate, and the two together - bleurgh.

I have the M & S beauty calendar, and opened a cleansing balm this morning.

My cheese calendar was 7.99 from Lidl. Not a blue cheese in sight (yak!!)

I forgot to buy one again! Maybe find a half price one tomorrow.

Whatup · 01/12/2021 18:40

Lol at the not realising the fill in your own one was empty!

GivenchyDahhling · 01/12/2021 18:41

Lovely little dark chocolate (Artisan du Chocolat calendar) for me, pot of Tiptree marmalade (Tiptree calendar) for DH and DS to share which went on toast. DS is only just 2 so thinking the jams will be nice for breakfast with his porridge and/or toast - but I’m sure it will be something more child friendly next year.

A sparkly opi turquoise nail polish and some no7 cream.

My little boy got a Lindt reindeer and a Lego city bus.

A pretty pendant from the Calender I bought myself.
A friend got me the wine advent calender from Aldi as a thank for a favour I did someone. Haven't opened it yet.
My boss got all of us at work a Chocolate Calender. None of us ever expected it but found them in our offices today. Really really made us happy

A sachet of 'Feel new organic tea'. I'm just putting the kettle on to see what happens.
