advent calenders for grown ups?

[GinAndSonic]

Any ideas? Im looking for myself and for DP.

Partylite do a tealight candle one and I think body shop may do one as well

Lindt or Hotel Chocolat.

Benefit did one last year

DH always buys me a traditional one. Usually from the local independent bookshop.

National Trust have nice ones (not chocolate though!)

I like this except I'd probably get it in white.

HTH

Yankee Candle do one

Selfridges do as well, but I think they're £100+

This is just super traditional, no chocolate or presents:

Orchard Cards have some lovely traditional style ones.

Oooh Pedant I could do that in beer for DH (and watch the squirmy anticipation on his little face when he can't have tomorrow's bottle )

Boots did a Calender last year.
The Benefit one is limited availability and had some nice things if you want mini sizes - but I was a bit put off that 3 of the presents were hair grip or jewellery type.

Last year John Lewis did a ginger biscuit one - it was my advent calendar, and I didn't share at all. I will be looking to see if they do it again this year!

We have Lego ones.

This is the JL biscuit calendar.

Ooo, I saw that gingerbread biscuit one in JL yesterday, it looked scrummy. I was thinking about getting it to put into our fabric calendar as DS loves gingerbread but some of the pieces are too big.

I am going to he'd up to JL at the weekend, to make sure I get one. Last year, I was told there were none left anywhere - and then I found the last one!

He'd up? Head up, obviously.

This might be more your cup of tea?

My lovely husband got me a ginvent calendar a couple of years ago.

£35 for 25 tea bags?. That is a bit pricy, greenapples!

Hotel chocolat are good, we get one designed for couples so there are two of everything. Prevents arguments!

Lego

Oooh, some nice ideas here, the gin one looks fab, if a little out of our price range.

Tbh, as lovely as the ginvent calendar was it was probably a bit wasted on me. I love gin but I'm no connoisseur. I'd probably be just as happy buying a bottle of Hendricks, decanting it into 24 small bottles and making my own calendar. It would have been a lot cheaper and just as enjoyable!

All these boozy ones does lead me to ask: what time of day do you open your calendar?

Because if it's the morning... Oh dear.
