I love advent calendars. They’ve come so far since the paper ones with just a picture behind them! For me it’s the first real signal that Christmas has arrived at home. Every morning as I watch Lillia open a door, her face lights up and I get a little flash of what it’s like on Christmas morning!
With so many options, when I was looking at what advent calendars we should stock, I took inspiration from the traditional Christmas trend I’m seeing, combined with the flexibility that fully-customisable advent calendars can bring. You can fill them with chocolates, little toys, stationery or even dog treats (if you have a furry friend that needs to join in with the festivities!). And the best thing about them is that you can store them away for next year and reuse them!
So, here’s a selection of the advent calendars we have at Collecting Seashells this Winter. I hope you love them as much as I do!
