I don't bother, and the DC are now late teens/early 20s, but up til last year they've always had an advent calendar, ranging from playmobile to tealight candles to bog standard cadburys chocolate calendar for 99p. Neither of them are very bothered by them now, but I still like to look out for something they might find interesting.

This year I've got DD2 who is still at home a herbal tea calendar as she likes a cup after college and it comes with 24 different flavours.

None for the adults this year, though I was tempted by the Next one, nobody's bothered by them and we've all got an inherited gene that makes us open them up on day 2, so I'm not bothering. Though we have bought granddaughter (5) The Our Generation dolls advent calendar which I picked up in the summer for £11 instead of £35, and a Percy pig one. Instead of advent calanders ive bought the M&S light up tea and shortbread tins for adult Dd, mum and MIL along with a ponsietta, I'll be gifting them on Sunday.

I bought DD the Tony Chocolonely one for her birthday a few days ago. It arrived (Amazon) in a box so enormous that she thought it was a chair.
