Here's some that I've found...

my mum has bought DS#2 the Star Wars Advent calendar - she gets the lego one for him every year.

Hi these are fabulous ideas,

If anyone has seen any 3 for 2 or better prices for moshi monster advent calandar I'd appreciate you posting.

Can't decide if the beauty one is worth it or not.

Also I saw Liz Earle has an advent calandar, it's £100 though and not looked to see what you get in it to see if its worth it.

Many thanks

I really really really wanted the National Trust dolls house calendar but it seems to have sodl out everywhere, so I have bought myself a Jacquie Lawson e-advent calendar. It look like there will be lots of lovely animations. Its great for sending to faraway friends and family too.

I think this is the most unusual I've heard of:



Brighton Beach Hut's advent calendar using real beach huts! This is a Telegraph article from 2009 but they do it every year apparently. I haven't seen it myself but looks as though it may be interesting.

There's a Moshi Monsters one

I've seen a Thorntons Chocolate one in my local Tesco.

A few years ago I bought my DD one that has a mini-book in -each book tells a story relating to Christmas, either as an extract or a short story. Each book has a loop to be hung on the Christmas tree afterwards.

I had one where the books collectively told the story of A Christmas Carol

I loved this one
WOODEN CHRISTMAS ADVENT CALENDAR REINDEER HEAD WITH JUTE NUMBER BAGS

but at £32.99 I couldn't really afford it this year even though it could be used year after year. I'll save up and get one next year it think,
