Does anyone know where I might get these on a 3 for 2 or special offer. I'd like to get them for the three dc's, but it would work out a bit pricey.

Can't you just make them take turns with it and for the other 2, buy 2 normal chocolate calendars which they could also rotate.

They're cheaper here but so few places sell them anyway that I think you'd be hard pushed to get one on offer at all this side of Christmas.

I'd love to say yes, but I know that in reality all would happen is an argument every morning and me wishing I'd just bought chocolate ones each. I could get one each, as I've started working recently and for once have a bit of money for Christmas, it's just that after years of money being tight I hate to spend more than I need.

I buy one each year and my four are quite happy to take it in turns, a strict rota is self-policing and they know exactly whose turn it is each day. Tbh the calenders are quite bulky, as is the subsequent set-up, so I think one a year is quite enough.

If each child has their own calender there will still be room for arguments as one would get something big like a sleigh one day whilst another might only get a tiny bottle or somesuch thing.
