The month of December in the lead up to Christmas tends to be a busy time filled with parties and socialising, organising, last-minute gift shopping and getting ahead with work in order to have a nice time off over the Christmas period. So getting a treat every day of this quite stressful time is what makes it all the more bearable. But if you want something more for yourself and your loved ones than the traditional supermarket-bought chocolate-filled calendar, there are several alternative advent calendar ideas you could go for instead.
In our opinion, the best advent calendars are customised to the person that will be opening it every day. That’s why everything from beauty advent calendars to coffee ones continue rising in popularity with each year. But you don’t necessarily need to invest in a pricey candle or beauty calendar – it can also be a lovely DIY Christmas decor idea for you to take on. And a handmade advent calendar also makes for the perfect early Christmas present, both for family members and close friends.
