srisky Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've been looking for an advent calendar for my daughter but all I can find are ones with chocolates, whereas I would like to get one without. Admittedly, I haven't searched extensively due to zero spare-time so would appreciate any recommendations of where to get one. Thanks!

sunbob Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We have a lovely Usborne one I've saved from last year. I think my mum found it on an Usborne lady's stand a local fair. It's a beautiful card crib style one, it stands up and there's a different nativity character to slot in to the scene for each day.

Pickle Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My mother in law sends them every year, they're due to arrive today or tomorrow so I'll have a look to see where they are from (probably M&S or similar). As lovely as they are, my kids are always disappointed that there's no chocolate!

srisky Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thanks everyone, very helpful as ever! Hubby got a lovely one from Northcross Road. There will come a time when she will want a chocolate one but as she has no idea about advent calendars, let alone a treat laden one, then I will keep it simple for as long as I can!
