One of the best things about Christmas i think is the build up to it. It’s just so exciting waiting for the big day to come. Listening to Christmas songs, eating mince pies and best of all, opening our advent calendars everyday. When I was little me and my sister got a cheap chocolate advent which cost £1 and had a little chocolate behind each window. And that is what I have been getting my 3 kids. Until last year. We tried out a Playmobil Advent Calendar and my kids really loved it. It did cost a lot more than the cheap £1 chocolate ones, but it can be played with all year!
If you go shopping there are so many different types of advent calendars now, and these are not just for children. There are loads of different kinds of adult advents to. There are craft beers, make up, candles and I have even seen a sock advent calendar. So today I am sharing with you 10 fab advent calendars.
