What's a good advent calendar for me and my Mum?

I bought advent calendars for both of us for Christmas 2020 because we couldn't see each other until Christmas Day and it was nice for both of use to be able to open the same thing every day and then we had something to talk about on the phone (because fuck all else was going on). Same for last year. I got Rituals for 2020 and l'Occitane last year. The Rituals one was a nice mix and included skin care and things like candles. The l'Occitane one was a bit too heavy on the hand cream, I think there were seven or eight little tubes, but everything smelled lovely.

Any recommendations for this year? I don't need to do it because we're not under lockdown anymore so Mum and I are able to meet up, but I think she quite enjoyed it so I still might.

We don't use make up, I have a tendency to be allergic to things but Mum is fine. Not perfumes, teas or coffees.

Thanks.

We saw this great one for gardening, my Mum and I did this last year and we shared the seeds and had a growing competition, was good as kept us talking all year round about it. Looks like they are doing a flower one this year too:

Got my mum this last year. She loved it. She said not to get one this year as there were so many seeds that she's still got loads left.

I have got her a crossword advent from Amazon

I got lots of different ones - some vegetables but mainly flowers and then some herbs and chilies. It looks like they are also doing just a flower one this year too.

it was good for us as there were seeds to grow throughout the year, so it kept us having things to talk about all year. Our dahlias are out now and looking lovely 🌸🌸
