Can anyone recommend a good quality advent calendar - not a chocolate one! I've decided I eat enough chocolate during December anyway without adding cheap calendar chocolate every day.

I want to get one that I can reuse year on year. Open the door, there's a Christmassy picture, hurrah!

There are some nice looking ones on Amazon but I feel like the quality will probably be crap.

Does anyone know where I could get a good one?

Ling advent calendars are lovely quality, but probably not for annual usage!

Oh they do look nice. Wish there were pictures of the inside of some of the windows.

My DM had this last year and she said it was her favourite https://www.traditionaladventcalendars.co.uk/luxury-extra-large-advents/christmas-at-the-mansion-xl-advent-calendar-glitter.html

I would like this too, they only need to show one example. One time the advent I bought had photos behind and it just wasn't the same.

One thing I'd love to see is a Discworld advent calendar. That would be lovely 😍

If you just want the pictures ones then Wrendale have done some lovely ones in previous years. 😊

I got my DD this one year - it’s lovely (but rather expensive) - and it is big -https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coppenrath-Christmas-Wreath-Traditional-Calendar/dp/B0160GOTY0/ref=asc_df_B0160GOTY0?mcid=52f76e093c50305c9804262eec956367&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696385216726&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11346858018520910102&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045075&hvtargid=pla-887283455237&psc=1&hvocijid=11346858018520910102-B0160GOTY0-&hvexpln=0&gad_source=1

You can design and make your own advent calendars here - it doesn't have to be your own pics you use - I did one for DGD all of Smurfs pics I found online. You can probably use any pics including Hogwarts etc
