Advent Calendars with chocolate and 1 or 2 little toys

[chocolaterainbow]

Does such a thing exist?

When I was little I remember getting a trolls advent calendar one year that had chocolate behind most windows then a troll pencil topper behind one, and a little troll behind another. I remember really cherishing those little surprise toys, and I'd like to find something similar for my DC this year. But for boys - DS1 is 10 and DS2 is 7.

Has anyone seen such a thing? I'd like to get them a Lego one but they're too much £££!

We have a home made one and reuse every year. Would you consider getting something like this: www.amazon.co.uk/Hanging-Fabric-Christmas-Advent-Calendar/dp/B004IIKKSM and adding your own little sweets and party bag tat?

Ours is a christmas tree, and every day they open a new pocket to get a decoration, this kind of thing: www.notonthehighstreet.com/jollyfine/product/christmas-tree-fabric-advent-calendar
Then I add the odd choc coin, stickers etc now and again.

Those are really nice, but don't think I could trust my DC not to raid thrm while I'm having a lie in!
I was thinking a more of a regular chocolate one but with a couple of tiny toys, and tamper proof perforated cardboard windows so there's no sneaky business

I particularly like the tree one, it's like festive wall hanging tapestry.

For future info Argos sell off the Lego and playmobil advent calendars after advent starts. I get one then and put away for the following year (£7-10 ish)

Yeah, I thought that was what you meant but I've never seen one so am no help on that I'm afraid.

I am sure my 2 go through the pockets for the 'charms' but I don't think it takes away from it - they love seeing them all again each year. But yes, I do have to sneak the extra treats the night before!
