Description
This little advent calendar card brings the 50s Christmas design to the December countdown. A pink deer sits at its heart, topped with brown antlers and set between two green fir trees, with a sprig of holly with red berries and a scatter of red, pink and green snowflakes on a soft cream ground. Twenty-four numbered doors are cut into the front, and behind each one waits a tiny festive picture, from a snowman to a bell to Father Christmas himself. The card comes with a red paper envelope sized to fit, and at 8.7cm long and 6.3cm wide it is about as big as a credit card.
Small enough to slip in with a letter, it makes a charming Christmas card in its own right for friends and family, giving them a door to open each day as Christmas draws near. It is a nice way to stay close to loved ones far away, who can count down the days alongside you. We also like it as a gift tag with a difference: tie it to a wrapped present and the person opening it gains a little advent calendar along with the gift. Stood on a desk, a windowsill or a bedside table, it brings festive cheer to any corner of the home.
The card is made from printed card and its envelope from paper, so it weighs next to nothing and adds hardly any bulk to a letter or parcel. Each door is cut so it lifts open with a fingertip to reveal its picture, and we suggest opening them gently, one a day, so the front stays neat up to the twenty-fourth. Keep it somewhere dry and away from steam, as card softens in damp. Write a name on the envelope, tuck it into a stocking or slip it in with a Christmas card, and you have given twenty-four days of small surprises.
