You know it’s nearly Christmas, when it comes to December and you are excitedly opening a tiny door each morning!
The tricky part is deciding which advent calendar to get this year. Chocolate, foodie, beauty – the list goes on. Head in your hands, well fear not, I have you covered with a few of my favourites that mix it up a bit. Oh and don’t forget it’s not just for kids, there are lots of adults and even pets options out there. So let’s take a look…
Dairy Free
MOO FREE – Made without lactose or gluten try a vegan chocolate each day.

Foodies
VERIVAL – Something a bit different. If like me you struggle deciding what to eat in the morning – here are 24 different breakfasts already chosen for you. Result. Includes the option of Chia-strawberry porridge – yummy.

Kids
TINC – Fed up of same old chocolate treats, why not mix it up with games and stationery items instead.

Relaxation
MINDFULNESS – Interesting concept with an inspirational surprise to uplift you each day. I may well need some motivation on a wintery morning.

Zero waste
HOLLAND & BARRETT – Looking for a sustainable option. This may work, with a real mix of treats as the photo shows.

Charity
ADVENT OF CHANGE – Wonderful option where you will be giving to 24 different charities. Each door tells you who you have helped. Share the love and support a good cause.

MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT – A magical assortment of beauty gifts behind each door. A great way of treating yourself but also a way of being shopping savvy and collecting gifts for friends and loved ones.

Pets (Cats and dogs)
CALTIME – A little dog biscuit every day.

LILY’S KITCHEN – Cat and dog treats


Alcohol
THE TIPSY TREE – Well, maybe leave this until the evening…

Just a few ideas, there are so many options. I have not added prices or retailers as this varies. So good luck with finding your 2019 advent calendar.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas.
