Well?
…no, it’s generally my son’s partner who gives us one each year…(…well, one each…)…but they’re all baby’d up with their little son’s first Christmas…she sent a pic yesterday of one that she’d bought for him…with all of the pockets to add the advent gifts each year…but I think we’ve been cast aside and we’re going to have to find our own way in the world now…but I’m not sure that I’ll buy any because I always forget to open the doors anyway…and then when they’re coming over, I’ve opened all of the doors that morning to catch up…

same, I dont get anyone getting an advent calender after the age of 18 :hmph: unless its one of those ones with cosmetics in :omg:

…the M & S ones are very good, I’ve had those a few times and strangely, always remembered to open those doors…:laugh:…but then you have to have a minimum spend to be able to get it at that whatever cost and I’m not really an M&S person in general so I’d probably struggle with the minimum spend and then it’s still a lot to spend on a calendar as well…I did love to open them though because…(…rather than just know there would be a chocolate there…)…they were actually surprises…

Yeah someone would have to give it to me, I don't think I would buy one for myself it would feel a bit weird.... shows post to Mr C :hehe:

…when you say ‘ours’…?…do you alternate days or each share a chocolate each day…?…

Really good. It’s quite spenny, so we only buy it when it’s on offer.
…when you say ‘ours’…?…do you alternate days or each share a chocolate each day…?…
Absolutely not haha. I’m not sharing. We have our own.

We did the hotel chocolat sharing one last year (there’s two chocolates of the same flavour each day).

Tony's chocolate is gorgeous for a treat. I can confirm.

The white raspberry popping candy and white strawberry cheesecake are amazing :flutter:
Nope, I haven't had advent calendars in years tbh
