I bought a calendar as a gift but does anyone have any cunning ways to disguise / wrap or present it . We’ve generically talked about calendars and I’m not going to mention them again so hope he forgets . I went for a Harrods HF calendar so the recipient . I’m guessing it’s pretty big .

IlovePond · 03/10/2026 08:57

@hattie43 - you could try hiding it inside a large cushion cover.

In terms of wrapping- you can usually get velvety present sacks from places like Home Bargains.

Annamarieboo · 03/10/2026 10:04

Is this real?

https://adventcalendar.co.uk/liberty-fragrance-advent-calendar/

I like the selection but it's pretty pricey!

Also, I had no idea liberty did a bauble advent!

Aw! Congratulations on your new arrival! Enjoy all the snuggles xx

Thank you! It’s hard work but also the best thing I’ve ever done πŸ₯° when she came out the first thing I said in recovery was: that was alright I’d do it again πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I’ve decided to follow the lead of others doing a weekly opening of HFAC. I really like today’s which has surprised me as I didn’t think I would.

Ah I see, this calendar was in 2022! I wish they would do another!

The Jo Malone pear and freesia.

I was being a bit coy in case anyone is trying to forget the contents.

pinkchampagne1 · 03/10/2026 10:31

@XEmeraldx congratulations on your new arrival πŸ’“

pinkchampagne1 · 03/10/2026 10:33

@AdventAdoration what a lovely DH you have. All the best with your treatment

MosquitoMagnet · 03/10/2026 10:36

Sorry to everyone missing items, it's crappy

I suppose the companies won't know the extent of it until people open in December, and a lot may have been given as gifts also.

I wouldn't have thought to check if it wasn't for these threads

pinkchampagne1 · 03/10/2026 10:36

It’s my birthday today so I can officially delve into my Harrods calendar as it was a birthday present from DH. πŸ˜ƒ I will try to be good and not open all the doors but December seems a long time to wait πŸ€”

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 03/10/2026 10:42

Happy birthday @pinkchampagne1 !

@keepincool that’s a bargain! Rather envious.

ClutteredPalace · 03/10/2026 10:46

Happy Birthday @pinkchampagne1 πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚πŸΎ Don't forget to claim your SNK birthday gift, Ive just posted about mine on the gwp thread.

Loveabeautybox · 03/10/2026 10:57

Just had another sorry it’s late email from LF. Annoying as they only took the money out last week, ordered it on the 1st.

Benny12 · 03/10/2026 10:57

happy birthday @pinkchampagne1!!

My LF box just arrived. The outer box looks sturdy, and there are no obvious signs of damage or leaks. I'm waiting until December to open it.

Outer box is sturdy, inner drawers not so much.

The only solution is to buy all.

It’s an excellent cure for decision fatigue. It is for your mental wellbeing after all…

Yes I did think that!
I'm really trying to cut down on waste though. I have a lot of stock. I want to be sensible. Anyway goole ai told me that LF isn't worth it for me, even with the voucher!

Aldi is doing a 12 days of advent Lacura for Β£19.99 - in case anyone needs to scratch an itch for not much dosh!
