Probably a stupid question but is there an actual reason why some advent calendars only have 24 doors and others have 25?

I've been opening my calendar right before the dogs so she's gotten into routine of seeing me go for mine and sitting nicely waiting for her hers, tomorrow will be fun as hers is a 24 door one 😀

So pleased today's was a face cream, I had some on my fingers from opening it and popped it in my face without knowing what it was !

ChangoMutney · 24/12/2018 12:46

I think this hasn’t been the best choice for my 19 year old dd, but am hoping to do a big swap with her which I think I’ll benefit from. She said she’d like a gin one next year!

Love today’s cream.

Advent is traditionally the days leading up to Xmas, the 25th isn't actually an advent day but some put 25 in as a bonus

MeetOnTheSIedge · 24/12/2018 13:58

I just caught a glimpse of my face in sunshine, I'm having second thoughts about the bronzer now, I only put a tiny amount on and it looks as though I'm covered in glitter Confused.

Is it too early to discuss swaps? Wink

DivaDroid · 24/12/2018 14:07

@Atalune def not - there's a few things I'd like to swap too.

HollyHocks13 · 24/12/2018 14:35

I'm definitely up for swapping. I'd absolutely love more of the perfume if any has any they'd like to swap... happy to swap for the Hydrasoft moisture boost, in transit camera close up cream, today's Occitane cream....

@atalune you might want to ask for that to be deleted if AtSea is right it’s a spoiler.

SunnyUpNorth · 24/12/2018 20:33

Def up for swops, started much earlier last year!

First spoiler deleted but yours still showing @AtSea1979.

AncoraAmarena · 24/12/2018 22:03

Yeah, complete spoiler. Thanks for that. And I hate that stuff.

AtSea1979 · 24/12/2018 22:06

I’ve requested it to be deleted. A little frustrated now.

Atalune · 24/12/2018 23:09

ancora

I’m very sorry. Stupid of me.

MeetOnTheSIedge · 24/12/2018 23:11

And I'm sorry about the other day too, it was an honest mistake.

Writersblock2 · 24/12/2018 23:29

Thank god I didn’t see this spoiler. Still in the dark for tomorrow. 😁

Loved the cream today and it suits my skin. Damn it. Maybe I’ll go off it by the end of the pot. Here’s hoping at that price!

PartTimePunk · 25/12/2018 00:05

[no spoilers]. I opened mine early as I'm still waiting for my 9 year old to go to sleep. Angry
I thought that the tiny bit I tried was
rank. Will be v interested to see what others think of it.
