Too old for Lego/ Playmobil advent calendars.....so what can I get instead?

[cornflakemum]

Think the DCs are too old for the Lego/Playmobil advent calendars this year..... but what can I get instead?

They love the opening one every day thing.....

I still have a calender and im 26

A choc one that is, i would preffere a playmobil one

...never too old for Lego

How old is too old then? Don't mean this in a flippant way, just interested

Definitely never too old for lego judging by the amount of time I spend playing with it

How about a fabric one with the little pockets that you can put small gifts in.

You don't say how old/what sex but you can put gifts in some days (eg. hair clips, small nail varnish, expanding face cloth ) and sweets or chocolates on other days

Are the playmobil ones any good.

We have a fabric one with pockets. The girls take turns in getting the gifts.

just got ds1 (4yrs) a playmobil knights advent calendar and he is going to love it...do you open them first thing in the morning or after school?..first timer!..i didn't have an advent calendar growing up and hes only now understanding what christmas (the commercial kind is)

I'm 33 and I love the playmobil advent calendars

I have one with little pockets in and every day I leave a clue as to where something is hidden. It might be a pencil, rubber, chocolates anything really. The thrill is in finding it.
