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:-

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.0
