Do your kids have Advent calendars?

Hello!

Do your children have an advent calendar? If so, what kind? Do they enjoy them? Mine has a Lego one and thinks it’s great – personally, I prefer these over food treat ones.

I bought mine a small chocolate/gummies ones for the first time last year. Not sure if I’ll keep doing it though. The lego ones sound like fun but two of mine are too young

My daughter has always had an advent calender and loves the small chocolate treats each day. Unfortunately, we forgot to buy one for this past Christmas.

The Lego’s Advent calendars are really cute. The Smiggle ones too. But I find them too expensive.

We decided on a cheap ones for our three kids, imagine the upset if one got a cooler toy while the others just got chocolate. I would love to hear of the mums who purchased the expensive calanders( the ones that have both chocolate and toys in them) to see if its worth the cost next year.

Wow , never heard of a Lego one . Yes. My daughter insisted on having one and asked me to buy the Freddo frog one for $10 and she bought her brother one for $2 ( he didn’t really care. ) . Well, I wouldn’t mind having the body shop one , but it is $129 , and the exclusive one is $199 , so maybe , just maybe I will get one after Xmas if I have some funds left lol . Hope you find your favourite !!

I have a set of small cloth stockings, numbered, and each year the “elves” put a message in each with something to do the next day…. From “choose a gift for the giving tree” to “pick a treat to enjoy tomorrow”.

I didn’t buy them for the first time this year. But I will next year. My kids were so disappointed, and they are 17 and 20!!!!
