Do you have your advent calendar yet?
 
Well?

Ammi 10-11-2024 08:11 AM

…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…

No, I won't get one but I'll probably get one for Luke

…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:

Adamw92 10-11-2024 08:33 PM

No but I’ll make sure to get one very soon

Black Dagger 10-11-2024 09:07 PM

No but I’ve preordered a book one that I’m excited for and will get a standard chocolate one as well.

Ithinkiloveyoutoo 11-11-2024 06:53 AM

Niece does. It has lots of nice lollies

Benjamin 21-11-2024 06:50 AM

…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.

Absolutely not haha. I’m not sharing. We have our own.

Benjamin 21-11-2024 07:15 AM

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

The everything bar is my fave.

Livia 21-11-2024 12:20 PM

I have 2 sitting in the cupboard, driving the kids mad... Like they don't have enough chocolate. Also have one for the dog.

Black Dagger 21-11-2024 12:29 PM

I’ve got a book one on the way and also have a sweet one. Just need to get a chocolate one now.

Also got Milo one!

I thought you meant you had a Milo one (as in the hot drink) :laugh:
