    One Chocolate one for youngest DS, milky bar choc and a father Christmas pic.

    Playmobil for older DS and he had a toy man in his.

    zhuzhu pets one for DD and she had a tiny hamster in it.


    First year we have done the toy ones and I really like them as a nice change but doesn't seem very Christmassy, next year I'm making advent boxes and putting in vouchers for the older ones, like you can stay up an extra 20 minutes one night that they can redeem whenever they like.

    There was a teddy bear behind mine - and a chocolate which I'm saving for later. :)
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    We have a fabric one that my mum made years ago for my little sister. We inherited it for our LOs last year. Each day you build up a bit of the nativity scene. Today was the stable roof. :)

    My kids have the lego calendars. Son had a fireman (I think) and daughter had a girl with long hair.

    Much better than the chocolate calendars we used to have - no sugar and some longevity in the contents. They can add the stuff to their lego/duplo collection.
