Advent Calendars

The countdown to Christmas is officially on. Each year around this time, I start to shop around for an Advent Calendar to help me on my merry way to Christmas goodness and seasonal cheer.

An Advent calendar is a special calendar which is used to count or celebrate the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. Most calendars have 24 windows or boxes that open to reveal an image, a part of a story, and often a treat or chocolate. This year, I think it's time to expand my Advent Calendar horizons and make my own. There are so many sweet ideas. Here are a few that I found. 

For all you as 'challenged' as me in the sewing department, here is a non-sew Advent Calendar. Loving the whole baking tray as a base :) Very environmentally friendly.

I particularly love the little birds. Just hang them from a branch and voilà, you have your very own Advent Calendar.

If you have little people in your world, this personalised Advent tree is so precious. 

So be inspired and get creative. Go out and grab some special little personalised treats and gifts to fill your Advent Calendar & enjoy this very special season xx
