Lego Advent Calendars

I got a Lego Friends calendar last year from Argos, reduced from £20 to £10. They also had the Lego City ones for about the same. Funnily enough the Lego Friends calendars they are selling look the same as the one I already have!


I think they reduced them around mid December tbh and went out of stock really quickly.

There are a few lego advent calendars in the Boots 3 for 2 offer.

I made my own out of little lego sets last year- my son loved it but it cost more than the ready made one, at least £30. This year I plan on doing a slimmed down version with some days having chocolate and using the saved up free lego kits from the newspapers on other days. I need something to put it in though as last year I used a lot of little envelopes.

I did find a Hello Kitty mini figure advent calendar in TKMax for a fiver last year. I spent most of December rescuing the stupid bits from inside the vacuum!

The lego calendars have now gone up to £19·89 on Amazon! :eek:

Quite an increase in 8 hours.

My 4 year old is perfectly happy with a random picture each day. You know the drill a drum on day 1, mittens day2, etc

Ikea have 12 paper bags for £2.50 (http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/00278192/) I used them last year for the books in the advent calendar

Or Aldi have 4 cardboard pouches for 89p at the moment.

Thanks everyone. I saw them today in the Entertainer and my mum thought they were a waste of money, reminding me that my girls don't even like lego that much! So it's chocolate all the way me thinks!
