Advent Calendars

Advent Calendars for Christmas Countdown Fun:

Advent calendars turn the countdown to Christmas into a daily activity, and this collection goes well beyond traditional chocolate-filled designs. The range includes storybook Advent calendars, puzzles, magic tricks, collectible surprises, gaming dice, crystals and interactive Christmas displays, with options for children, families, hobbyists and collectors.

Storybook & Character Advent Calendars:

Book-based Advent calendars make up a strong part of the range, with licensed themes including Disney Princess, Frozen, Marvel, Barbie and Cocomelon. Many feature a new book or story to open each day in the lead-up to Christmas. The Cocomelon hardback Advent calendar, for example, contains 24 books covering songs, stories, colouring and learning activities.

Novelty book formats also include pop-up designs. The Disney Princess Enchanted Christmas calendar combines a book with a 30 cm pop-up Christmas tree and 25 keepsakes that can be used as decorations.

Puzzle, Magic & Activity Advent Calendars:

For shoppers who prefer a daily activity, the collection includes several puzzle-based Christmas calendars. Wasgij offers 24 separate 54-piece puzzles, while the Wrebbit3D Advent calendar contains 12 individually packed 3D puzzle builds that combine to create a reusable tabletop Christmas village.

The Amazing Magic Advent Calendar takes a different approach, with 24 individual magic tricks accompanied by step-by-step picture and video guides.

Collectible, Gaming & Hobby Advent Calendars:

Collectible Advent calendars include a Naruto deluxe edition with 24 themed surprises such as mini figures and accessories. Tabletop gaming fans can choose FanRoll dice calendars containing assorted resin dice sets, exclusive dice and accessories, alongside themed Dungeons & Dragons editions.

For something more decorative, the collection also includes 12-day crystal and jewellery Advent calendars. The shaped crystal calendar contains individually selected gemstones carved into festive and decorative forms.

Choosing an Advent Calendar:

Consider who the calendar is for and what they enjoy opening or doing each day. Storybook calendars suit younger readers, puzzle and magic designs add an activity element, while gaming, anime, crystal and collectible calendars are better matched to specific interests. Also check whether the design follows a 12-day, 24-day or 25-day countdown, as formats vary across the range.
