The whole advent calendar thing in our house is very complicated!
Mum made both the girls a calendar some years ago and would add a little token gift (as normal) for each day. But as they have grown so have the gifts. So much so, that now the gift is replaced with a card & number which they then go to a large box of a gifts to find the matching one.
With only one day left till the calendars start to be opened, here are a few ideas that may help you meet that deadline!

Make little pouches like the ones that were available from Nuvonova

These are all fabulous ideas Jodie, thanks for sharing. I LOVE the Maya Made tree, how genius is that! Happy Tuesday, Jodie ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteAnd, I have to say, the advent tea wreath is just my favourite part of advent so far (more so than chocolates, which is saying a lot!). Thanks for showing others the idea!
