A thread just for non-chocolate Advent Calendars - where to buy for kids

[JonSnowPatrol]

Other than Lego, Playmobil, Smiggle, what else is there please?
Links if possible!

Thanks

I bought a diy one from tiger for £4. Just need to fill it!

Oooh watching! There are schleich ones about and Tinc.

I've got a Lego one for DS, want to find one for DD too

If you would like reusable ones we got a lovely Melissa and Doug Christmas tree with magnetic baubles - add one every day and on Christmas Day the star goes on top

I’ve seen a crayola one, Haribo and one in paperchase with erasers in. Just had a google and matalan do a my little pony one and Tesco direct do a hot wheels one.

Ooh, Matalan for MLP, thank you, will check that out. Crayola could be ok too.

I saw a Schleich one but the reviews said most of the bits were really rubbish.
Never heard of Tinc - off to Google.

I got DD a jewellery one from Amazon - there are loads on there.

Also got us all a traditional card one - Coppenrath from John Lewis.

I think Waterstones had some yesterday. And John Lewis used to!

I'll pop links here for my own reference and anyone else's!

I saw some in Paperchase today, a nice looking Nutcracker one and a couple of others.

We always have the traditional nativity one with pictures behind the doors, ds loves it.

I did look on Amazon but didn't see anything that grabbed me. DD too little for jewellery. Thank you!

Love the Tinc one! www.tinc.uk.com/products/tinc-2017-advent-calendar-red/. £28, eek!

Wilkinson’s have a cosmetics one for £5

Clintons had some traditional nativity ones for about £3 I can't understand the lego/smiggle £20+ a pop tbh or even the poundland chocolate ones.

I do have a traditional cardboard one from previous years, but I really like the little daily gifts too!

John Lewis have a gingerbread biscuit one. I get one every year.

Thanks. I meant non-food rather than just non-chocolate.

Mothercare/ELC have got some great kids calendars. There’s the soft stuff one which looks good in store and is all playdoh/craft stuff. £15 off, so only £10.

There’s a Big City one. And last year I bought my niece a Happyland calendar which was £25 but really great value for the brilliant contents.

www.smiggle.co.uk/shop/en/smiggleuk/advent-calendar-2017# £25

I bought a really nice card nativity scene on amazon. DD asked where the chocolate is...

Bought a paw patrol one with stationary and toys in it from the chemist the other day, they are out there if youre looking!!

OOOh! Thank you - I think DD would love that fake Playdoh one!

Currently in the lead for DD, and Tinc for DS! But still looking, just in case!

The Smiggle one is really disappointing - you’d be better off buying stuff in their 5 for £5 sale and making your own.

This looks interesting - a Man Stuff advent calendar! They also have a charm bracelet and jewellery calendar but reviews not amazing.

Though real Playdoh is only £5 more: www.amazon.co.uk/Play-Doh-B2199EU70-Advent-Calendar/dp/B01E5995G6/ref=sr_1_18?s=kids&keywords=advent+calendar&tag=mumsnetforum-21&ie=UTF8&qid=1510947921&sr=1-18

Thanks, Emily re Smiggle.
