I’ve just published an Advent Calendar blogpost which also includes the Disney Calendar! These calendars look fabulous. I’d love the Truffles Advent Calendar :o)

I like the Haribo advent calendar, the grandkids go mad for Haribo sweets

All of them are really cute. I bet people of all ages want the truffle calendar. I like the Disney Advent calendar – it looks like a classic #MMBC

Advent calendars have come a LONG way since I was a kid. I remember being excited at just opening the paper windows. Today though I love the toy ones that build scenes that give the kids a set to play with after the fact. Lego and Playmobile have had some great ones over the years.

The North Pole advent looks great.

What a great selection of advent calendars. The book one is such a fab idea and my youngest would love the Zuru one. She loves the mini brands things. x

I got my daughter the book one

I love the Odd Sock calendar, what a great idea. I do love a traditional chocolate calendar. The first one you reviewed is perfect.

So many wonderful varieties to chose from x #mmbc

Love a good advent calendar! I must say that Haribo one is delicious! I had it last year! Loving the fact they’ve made it glow in the dark

There are certainly some lovely Advent calendars around, They have come along way from when I was a child, when you opened a window and all you had was a picture`!

So much better than opening a door and there is just a picture behind it .

The dog advent calendar made me smile thinking about all those lucky canines whose families love them enough to buy one. Love the Oddsocks calendar and have always been a fan of Montezuma’s. Their chocolate is superb.
