Great Advent Calendars To Enjoy This Year
AD – This post contains samples I was sent for consideration for my guide.
Are you looking for an Advent calendar to help you count down the days to Christmas this year? Then you are in the right place, as I have some great ideas to share with you this year!
So without further ado, here are a couple of ideas which might be perfect for you.
PLAYin CHOC
If you’ve been around one of my guides before, you probably know I love PLAYin CHOC. They are a pioneer of the vegan, cruelty-free, allergen-free and plastic-free chocolate market, and this year, once again, they have a 12 and 24-day calendar on offer.
Behind each of the doors on the 12-day Advent, you will find a cute festive build your own figure, a fun facts card and a chocolate! Making three treats for you to enjoy each day! Each collectable toy also doubles as a Christmas decoration, meaning you can add to your tree as you count down the days. Or if you would rather, the outer sleeve of the packaging can be transformed to become a winter wonderland background for your collectables to be displayed in.
When it comes to the chocolate, it offers up a delicious melt-in-your-mouth texture and is sized perfectly to allow you just a little treat at the end (or start) of the day.
The PLAYin CHOC 12-day advent comes in at £27.50.
Whiskey Legends Advent Calendar With Glass
If you are after something more adult, then the Whiskey Legends advent might be right up your street. This calendar comes from The Whisky World and contains a range of whiskeys from Japan, Scotland, Ireland and the USA.
Now this calendar went off to my Dad, and my uncle came over from the US around the time it arrived, and I hear that on at least one night, a few bottles were enjoyed between them, and I’m told they were very much enjoyed. Behind each door, you will find a 3cl bottle which includes icons of the whiskey world, such as Johnnie Walker Legendary 8 and Fuji Japanese Whisky. As well as 25 bottles, you also get a whiskey glass to help you enjoy each bottle.
If you are all about a mix of bourbons, ryes, single malts and blends, then this calendar could be for you! The Whiskey Legends Advent Calendar With Glass comes in at £119.90 (was £129.90).
