Whether you like it or not, holiday season advertising has already begun!
Stores have holiday decorations and the like already packing their shelves and brands are launching gift sets and holiday specials almost daily.
One of the latest trends is a new take on an old favourite – advent calendars. I have great memories of the daily chocolate treat, hidden behind little doors, counting down the day until Santa came. To tell you the truth, we still get chocolate calendars every year!
But now, advent calendars are so much more! These are the gifts that give for days, that you can give in advance or save to open all at once! Here are some of our favourites for the whole family!
