To ask what advent calendar you’re getting?

[MzGG]

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

My lovely mum has bought me a Rituals one.

I've bought myself a milkybar one😊

This is my first time in years having one and I'm delighted I treated myself to it. I love Christmas anyway.

I caved in & bought the Sainsbury's Beauty one. It was £20 more than last year (£40 with Nectar) but the quality was really good last year plus I used my Nectar points to buy it. Dd2 & I alternate doors each day then at the end we can swap stuff if we want to.

I've also got her a Cadburys Dairy Milk one that was half price in Iceland. Im going to be on the lookout for cheap ones during Dec/Jan as her birthday is 25 March & I always get her a countdown to birthday one too that she starts on 1 March!

DH and I always buy a picture one of a snowy villagy scene and take it in turns opening the doors. Both in our 60s, no kids. It's a tradition carried on from my childhood.

DH has bought me the Space NK one 🤭

I like the Terry's chocolate orange one. I keep forgetting to pick one up. I've got the kids ones though.

We've got a Lindt one - actually we've got 2 because last year we had 1 Lindt and 1 Galaxy and I felt hard done by when it was my turn to open the Lindt one (we alternate) and it never seemed to be the 'good' item, just a tiny little ball - somehow or other my husband managed to get most of the good stuff!!
I may be a bit old, at 51, to be this petty over chocolate!!

I’m so jealous of the LEGO Home Alone house!

Dairy milk biscoff and a Laithwaites wine one 😄

I bought myself a picture advent calendar with rabbits and mice getting ready for Christmas 🤣

I don't get one for myself but I do absolutely love getting them for other people, this year my grandmother will be getting the Charbonnel & Walker Bond St advent calendar, my sister and her husband a Hotel Chocolate duo with a tin of proper hot chocolate flakes.
I haven't seen one I like for my mum yet so I may have to make her one and fill it with goodies.

I thought advent calendars are for children. We don’t buy them for any adults in the family.

It's this one - although I see Amazon still appear to have some of the previous years ones still available more cheaply

The Marks and Spencer one with different types of chocolates

Why don't you get one if you want one?

Have you read this thread? They clearly aren’t just for children. They’re tradition in my household. Everyone gets one…

Me: Lego Harry Potter
DH: Lego Star Wars
DD: Lego Minecraft & Cadbury Biscoff (I am slightly jealous of the Biscoff one)

This year I bought myself a yarn advent calendar from Hedgehog Fibres. It was pretty pricey, but I’ve had a rubbish year and decided to treat myself. There will be a pattern to follow (I think it’s a scarf/shawl) and I’ll do a little bit of knitting every day with each new mini skein.

I have the Neuhaus 2 person advent calendar. It’s been an indulgence for several years now and I love it!

I have the Bird & Blend Matcha advent calendar, I can’t wait for 1st!

Pretty sure I still have half of last years galaxy 1, which fell down the gap of my tv unit!!! Not sure about this year!

DH picked up the blue Lindor one 😋

I got one for my daughter, a Lindt, and one each for the cat and the dog. I don't usually have one myself.

I have a nice paper one. I’m really looking forward to opening the doors and seeing the little pictures. (Even the bell, which was the world’s dullest picture when I was a child)
