Not exactly money saving, I think you'll need deep pockets for some of these, but only 16 days to go:-

My favourite is Peppa Pig, (for little Pebbles,) closely followed by wine, cheese, gin, Pringles, Lego, Tinc, Carluccio's.

A**a launches what claims to be the world's first cheese advent calendar and it costs £8.

Or even this:-

Any more quirky advent calendars, anyone?

Not quirky, but Aldi have a charm bracelet advent calendar. I think it's £9.99. I bought one last year. As a child, I always wanted a charm bracelet, so it was a chance to fulfil a childhood wish. It's obviously quite cheap, but the quality was ok and the bracelet is fine to wear (no green tinged skin!). I have allergies to numerous products, but was able to wear the bracelet without any problems. It was definitely worth a tenner.

Thanks kingfisherblue

That's a shame, I've missed that one.

It would have made a good gift.

It's available again Fredandwilma, in two formats this year (gold and silver). £9.99 each. Mine was a silver bracelet.

Thanks, but none of the family does beauty care here in Bedrock.

Thanks, but they've sold out online and in my local stores.

I have the Kelloggs advent calendar sat waiting to be opened so that sorts my mornings out. For the evening I have a Swizzells advent calendar.

Not-so-littl'un doesn't understand advent, but I like to demonstrate ...

Was that for yesterday only or do you have to have prime? It's showing as £50 for me now.
