Reusable/wooden advent calendar- recommendations please

[Loftytofty]

Hello,

Looking to get a reusable/wooden advent calendar this year. Hoping for something which will last my young children into their teens. Any recommendations? Considering hobby craft to decorate my own, but wouldn’t mind something a little nicer.

thanks!

Get something with generously sized drawers or else it’ll be hard to find things to fit in it. My DSis got this one for her dc https://www.lisaangel.co.uk/personalised-fill-your-own-toy-shop-advent-calendar

We bought this one from Fortnum & Mason quite a few years ago.
Our kids are all teenagers now and they still love filling it with chocolates ( we use Heroes, Celebrations etc)
Its become one of our favourite Christmas decorations and I love it!

Hi, I got a couple from Aldi last year with twinkly lights. They were around £12 each from what I remember.

That is so gorgeous! I love the house one they do too.

Great recommendation, thank you.

That’s lovely, and I think the tip about generous sized drawers is a really good one. Thank you!

We've had this since DCs were very little (now teenagers) and they still love it and build a little village around it, but as PP said beware drawer size. These are very dinky and it's limiting. When the drawers are too small for 2 x celebrations type chocolates that's too small! But since we love the look of it on the kitchen dresser sometimes I've resorted to leaving little notes in the drawers instead ie "look under your pillow".
