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

This is Perfect for DD - but they don't ship to the EU - has anyone seen anything similar that does?

I think whittards did a hot chocolate one previously do they may have one

I think it was expensive

Just ordered Bonne Maman for Dh. Dc will get Lego calendars. I have been trying to find a special calendar for myself. I have too many beauty products, we have had enough of booze calendars, not sure about liquirice one. I hope I find something interesting.

Does anyone know of any coffee advent calendars? But not instant, preferably filter coffee or something along those lines ?

@turboface where did you order the bonne maman one from please?

Ordered Bonne Mamon Jam calendar from eBay for £28.89 including postage because if it arrives damaged or anything isn't right I can use Paypals 'the returns on us' as it is heavy.

Not Advent but
DS2 bought each of us a 12 days of Christmas from Brewdog last year so 12 different mini bottles of gin. Loved it.

MeredithMae · 14/09/2021 16:24

@YesIDoLoveCrisps

I think I found one.
Yep, saw it today too! But it's 24 white choc faces and none of us like white choc Sad

There's a hair tie one by invisibobble I've got for my teen DSD who likes them.

Husband loved the porks scratching one, bloody stunk mind 🤢

Bellie99 · 15/09/2021 12:26

Thanks to this thread I ordered the bonne maman calendar on Monday. It arrived today and looks impressive!

5Minions2CallMyOwn · 15/09/2021 12:47

We’ve ordered the Pork Scratching one for DH, Bonne Maman one for me, Marshmallow for Dd1, Pukka Tea for Ds1, Figet one for Ds2 and Peppa Pig Book one for Dd2. So excited, I’ve never been this on the ball ordering before Smile

CleanHankie · 15/09/2021 17:55

Walkers Shortbread did one last year that was lovely. Well worth the money, think it was £20 or £25.

lurkingattheback · 16/09/2021 07:16

I was having a bit of a search and this popped up, a game calendar. Something a bit unusual. travellingman.com/products/exit-the-game-advent-calendar

I think I'll try the bonne maman one but the hotel chocolat and Fortnum and Mason ones look nice.

There's 25% off The Spicery calenders today. Have posted in the bargain thread but seemed appropriate here too!

I really like this one and there are 3 others if curry isnt your thing.
Thanks for sharing.

DH has previously had:
Pork scratching - he liked them, but after a few days they ended up in the snack cupboard, uneaten

Jellybelly jelly beans - I think it was bean roulette or something where some of them were weird flavours

Gin - he got this 2 years ago and there are still a few bottle in the cupboard of strange flavour ones (it was the December I was due with DD so he wasn't drinking as much as he usually would!)

Popcorn - he really liked the Joe Seph one. Said the flavours were really good and it was something a bit different

I'm torn between a gin one again for him and a sweet one. He's not overly keen on chocolate.

For DD I think we are going for the Julia Donaldson one

annabannan · 16/09/2021 14:16

Has anyone seen any candle ones please?

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 16/09/2021 14:32

Any wax melt ones please? DD has asked for a Smiggle one. Not sure about soon too be DH. He likes sweets.
