Unique/exciting Advent Calendars?

Hello, has anyone got any recommendations for an advent calendar for myself?

I’m a single mum and unlikely to get anything much for Xmas, so thought I might treat myself to a brilliant advent calendar. I would love to know if there’s anything a bit whacky or unexpected out there!

I know I might have already missed the boat with the more popular ones that people sign up for months in advance, but if anyone has any suggestions I’m all ears! I don’t have any particular hobbies other than reading and the gym. Also in the past I’ve had wine, gin, Clinique which were lovely but I’d like to see if there’s anything different. I’ve seen socks, pork scratchings, and jam advertised this year but don’t fancy any of those.

TIA for any ideas!

such a good idea to treat yourself! I bought this puzzle advent calendar for myself this year, i have bought a puzzle one for the last couple years as it’s just lovely to have a little mindful activity to do each day, I bought it when it was £34 but just had an alert to say it’s down to £24 now, obviously I haven’t opened it yet but it’s substantial and I was happy having paid £34!

Oh just saw you like reading! Another thing I saw in Waterstones the other day was a Christmas romance advent calendar- you open one chapter each day. It's called A Heart for Christmas

The Neals Yard one looked nice.
