advice on toy advent calendars?

cookinmummy

hiya,

A bit random and a bit early I know, but I was wondering if anyone has experience/recommendations regarding toy advent calendars? I only heard of these last Xmas and by then it was too late and I think my girls might like these. I have had a nose around and found ones by Lego, Playmobil, Polly Pocket, and Hello Kitty - and I wondered what people think of them or would recommend one over another?

Thanks x

I got a Littlest Pet Shop one for my daughter via ebay last year, she loved it and it worked out cheaper than getting one from the Uk. I have heard good reports about the lego ones but I don't know how soon they hit the shops

We have a lego one each year! I prefer them to chocolate ones as they still have something left after Christmas and they get so much chocolate from parties etc during December anyway.

If you have not had one before look out for last years stock as they will be cheaper. They are not dated as it only has numbers 1-24, not the day or year on it.

2011's has just been released but will be fullprice between now and December.

The lego ones have a lot of minifigures in and they play with them loads - They love their lego! We don't have any playmobil so have never had their calendar. I think they are worth the extra investent if your children play with the sets ayway.
