Beautiful paper advent calendar for an adult?

Hi everyone

We won’t get to see my mum this Christmas due to Covid and living far away.

She is on her own and quite isolated. I’d like to buy her a really beautiful traditional advent calendar and just wondered if anyone has spotted any?

Many thanks!

I thought these Angela Harding ones looked lovely and will probably buy for my elder DC.

You can get the Coppenrath ones on Amazon - I think they might be the sort you are looking for.

Thanks both - musical might be a good idea actually.

Those Angela Harding ones are really beautiful though. I have a bit of a thing about hares so may not be able to resist that one for myself

Musical??

Not musical, but Fortnum and Mason have paper ones that are beautiful, as do Liberty.

theonlyliving - sorry when I first googled coppenrath I got musical calendars - have now seen they do non musical as well!

Many thanks everyone. My problem now is how to resist buying one for myself ...

I should add my mum always buys the DC a traditional advent calendar. To my surprise it holds their attention just as much if not more than the chocolate ones etc. It’s often the one they remember to open all the doors on!

John Lewis usually have a good selection.
I always buy myself a trad (corny!) Advent calendar - we never had them as children 🙁 - not such a thing then.

I bought myself this one a year or so ago - evidently popular since they’ve still got it! Not the sort of thing you’re looking for though, I know OP. But JL have plenty of all sorts.

my DC have always liked a pretty paper one as well. They have a long standing arrangement where they take it in turns with a paper one, and a Lindor one, which according to them is the best of both worlds.

That’s the one my mum has got for my eldest gettinglikemymother Grin

I love the Medici ones.

I have just bought myself the Angela Harding 3 Hares calendar:

I saw it and liked it so much I was trying to think who to gift it to, when I passed the shop this week they were nearly sold out.

So I’ve decided to treat myself!

Emily Sutton does lovely ones too.
