Cool Advent Calendars

[DecentPleasant]

Was pleased with my Swizzels find last year and have heard Gourmet Marshmallow is good but any other good ones? Not Liberty or over £30.

I say every year I’m going to treat myself to a nice advent calendar and never do so I’m following this thread and this will be the year

I’ve ordered us the naked marshmallow one today with a burner it’s only £18.95 and you get 25 doors which I like!

Jo and seph popcorn
Pringles
Degustabox

Tinc stationary ones are pretty good.

I also say every year I will treat myself and never do, so watching for ideas

For a woman, you can't beat the M&S one but last year they didn't do one

Pukka Tea is lovely, less than a tenner. I bought them last year for teens and older people and they went down well.

I had a cheese one a couple of years ago.

I hot a sherlock Holmes one last year, different mystery to solve each day.
Its a flip book so can reusedmore than once.

The Bonne Maman jam one is good, individual pots of jam in good flavours, cost about £27 iirc

Anyone got a good one for a man? Do lego do one? Or some other build a thing type?

Treating my parents this year, mum will likely get the no7 one - so something similar in price hopefully.

There are various Lego ones, but very simple. @Bigoldhag

Yes, just did a google search. Really unsure what type of one to get him, i think the lego is no right - he enjoys building little things like that but isnt particularly a lego fan - so those simple ones arent right.

Im stuck really. He’s not a huge foodie, does drink beer but not a hobbyist about it and no notable hobbies.

I've got the m&s ones in the past but not seen any offers this year?

There's a thread on beauty advent calendars

Bigoldhag have a look on the Menkind website, they had a couple of interesting ones, build your own transistor radio etc

Does anybody have a link to bonne mamabn calendars? I can only find them abroad

Didn't really like the naked marshmallow one last year- some really weird flavours.

Does anybody have a link to bonne mamabn calendars? I can only find them abroad

I think Costco have them.

Also didn't like the naked marshmallow calendar

Hope you don't mind me jumping on your thread OP. Does anyone have any ideas for my DM who is trying to avoid single use plastics and 'stuff'. I'll be getting DF the BrewDog one (we don't do presents but then look after our DC each week and so it's a little thank you gift).

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

To the PP who referenced calendars for men - there are lots of beer/rum/whisky calendars and also a pork scratching one and a cheese one - might be of interest?

Bird and Blend do a fab tea advent calendar

Me and DH shared a tea one last year. Think it was Lipton's. 2 teabags each day. Felt very middle aged but we loved it...

Tea is a possible option thank you!
