Boys advent

[autumnleaves8888]

Good morning ,

Can anyone recommend any advent calendar ideas for two boys aged 8 & 6 please. They have previously had Lego ones. Eldest has asked for the needoh one, however it is sold out on Smyths . Does any one know any genuine places to get this ?

Thanks 🎄

'Menkind' store will have them in stock in-store from October 2026 - but online it's 'out of stock'.

Is it only on-line that you're looking for?

I'm waiting for something else to arrive at Smyth's. As it gets closer their website updates to say 'expected back in stock on ???'

The Plus Plus advent calendar is really good. We’ve also had the Where’s Wally 24 book advent calendar and Jelly Belly. This year I might get DS the Thames and Kosmos science one, but he’s a bitter older than your dc.

They have the dumpling one you can pre-order on The Entertainer. There are also a few other calendar options like Minecraft and Jurassic park. Amazon also have several options, though you may need to check reviews on them to weed out the fakes.

I got mine from The Entertainer. Keep an eye on their website as they seem to come in and out of stock at really random hours. It’s also worth keeping an eye on BigJig Toys website too, as they’ve been getting stock in and out also. I believe another batch of stock is due in October.

Thank you all. I am going to try hold out for the nee doh calendar. If I can't get that then Minecraft would be a good shout 😊

Most are unisex?
