My parents bought my kids the ones with pockets then fill them with little gifts and sweets every year. My beautiful niece is 17 next week and we've got her a Benefit advent calendar, amongst other things... Can't believe she's old enough for driving lessons...

Me too - and I had to share it with my brother :laugh:

I was only telling my son about them the other day - he said it sounded rubbish and why would you even get one. Don't know they are born these days - he wanted the bloody Harrods one.....he got a Cadbury one and will be grateful :fist:

I get a mixture of commercial & religious.

Never bother with the chocolate ones, I think the lady time I tried a chocolate advent ...I was still at school :laugh: .

oh please God no

No I never buy advent calendars, used to when the boys were young but even then they lost interest and didn't open all the doors and the chocolate was never nice either

I have two picture ones all ready to go - one nativity scene and one just generic Christmas. Probably get a chocolate one when they go down in price at the beginning of December

A few weeks ago we found burnt out firework boxes in the local park ..
