Advents calendars played a big part of my childhood during Christmas. It was exciting to wake up each morning and get a taste of milk chocolate before breakfast. I don’t ever recall there being options outside of chocolate calendars. Now you can get calendars with beauty products, lego pieces, tsum tsums, teas, wine (this is one I would love to buy), and basically a lot of things other than chocolate. So cool.

From the moment she laid eyes on the final product she hasn’t wanted to stop playing with it. Much like her mama, she’ll spend most of her day in her kitchen. Read More
