To ask what advent calendar you’re getting?

[MzGG]

I’ve just bought myself a Malteasers Truffle one. What about you?

Yep they do them every year, bit of a treat. It's sold out now though.

Kinder bueno 🤤

I want one of the Boots No 7 advent calendars, but I can’t justify the price. (Am trying hard to learn the difference between “want” and “need”) I’m on a diet so I won’t get myself a chocolate calendar, as once I get the taste for chocolate I won’t stop!

I’ve got DP one from Home Bargains with packets of crisps and other snacks in it.

Don’t buy myself one as I’m not that fussed about them to be honest.
DS, 12 has asked for a Cadbury heroes one

My DH and MiL buy me one each.

Not sure what they will be but think one will be Lindt.

This weekend the job is making the homemade advent calendar
We cut out cardboard wreaths and decorate with the small ones. Hole punch and attach a ribbon. Then with pegs attach 24 different treats- crisps, chocolate, sweets etc
After seeing the price of the one the child wants I am being mean......

@Bagsintheboot that sounds beautiful .

Cadbury are so utterly crap now aren't they
Unfortunately DD saw it and wanted it so I had to get the strange triangle one.
DH a toblerone one.

They are lovely! This is the one I bought this year: https://www.lovechristmas.christmas/products/nostalgic-christmas-advent-calendar-with-milk-chocolates?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=551020abe&pr_rec_pid=8742407110876&pr_ref_pid=7927076028636&pr_seq=uniform

They're a bit more than a Cadburys one but then they do have to be imported and they're not always easy to find although one year I lucked out and found some in a random farm shop. Now I just order online in October / November.

They're still significantly cheaper than most advent calendars out there nowadays...!

For DS (14), a Taskmaster calendar and a Kinder Bueno one.

I will probably buy myself one - maybe Dairy Milk - yum!

I have a Lakrids liquorice one this year. I went through a phase of loving the beauty advents but they are so similar each year that I got bored of them (I still think they’re beautiful and great if you’ve not had them for a few years/before).

Hotel Chocolat
We also have a Lego one which I will fill up with min figures

I got hawkstone for the men in my life. They are huge

My lovely husband surprised me with cadburys one.

I have an advent candle rather than a calendar.

I will be buying a cardboard one with glitter on it. This is the only proper way of doing things. My family all think I am mad but they are more interested in my picture than their own chocolate…

Thames &Kosmos EXIT Escape room one - we get one every year. Only the first door is numbered and each day has some sort of puzzle to solve that tells you which door to open next.

Space NK

Pact coffee.

My mum still uses the one my siblings and I made for her when we were kids.

I have a LookFantastique one and the Sephora one. It’s a ridiculous amount of money but DD (14) and I share them and negotiate each morning over who wants what. Generally she wants the make up stuff and I get skin care which suits us both. We have a fun month opening them each morning and it pretty much covers our beauty needs for the year.

I usually have more than one, different types. This year I have a Cadbury one for mornings and a fruit tea one for evenings.
DH has lindor, DD ferrero rocher and DS kinder bueno

I usually have a lindor one and get calender envy when I read threads like this and see the beauty calendars….

this year I had a fuck it moment and bought the Elemis one 🤣

I have been gifted a cherries in chocolate calendar. I also have a fabric one that you velcro a piece to each day. It builds into the nativity scene and I'm rather fond of it.

😱😍😍😍

I'm doing the Lego home alone house 24 bags lol my son 17 is doing a red bull build the car son 15 has noodles and building a radio son 10 Lego Minecraft DD 9 Polly pocket hubby bird and blend tea lol

I finally found a lovely one today that just has pictures behind each window. Just like I had as a child. The chocolate ones do nothing for me - I’d rather just have a bar of chocolate! Very much looking forward to my traditional Christmassy picture a day though.
