I hope the title makes sense.
Anyway, I came across these advent calendars that seem to fit the bill and thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking.

I went for this one : https://www.theartfile.com/products/red-house-christmas-advent-calendar it's lovely. Can't wait til 1st December! Thank you OP

Update sorry it's late. I wouldn't recommend this one. The pictures are not detailed enough inside. It's too "modern"

@happylittlesloth that’s a shame , I’ve already got my eye on the frosted river one for next year , hoping they might reduce them at some point , @CorylusAgain holding you responsible!

I hold my hands up @Theraffarian !
That one looks lovely and the sneak peek shows its in the same vein as the ones we've got this year.
Its really disappointing that your one doesn't match up in quality or attention to detail @happylittlesloth .

The Woodland Trust one is getting so cute. I realised the other day that all the creatures are bringing decorations or presents and heading towards the middle of the tree. Slight niggle is the two layers aren’t perfectly overlapped, but I’m trying my best to not let that annoy me! DS 13 loves it.
