Description
This wooden advent calendar sets a snowy village scene above 24 little drawers, with LED lighting to set its windows aglow for the countdown to Christmas. Along the top stand wooden houses and a tall spired tower, one with a clock face and another with a red front beneath a white, star-topped gable. Fir trees in several shades of green with snowy tips and a few small deer flank them. At the centre, three carol singers in black coats and hats gather together. The drawers sit in three rows of eight, each with a red number and a small white knob. In natural wood with coloured details, it measures 37.5cm wide, 27cm tall and 8.5cm deep.
Its slim depth lets it sit on a mantelpiece, a shelf, a sideboard or a hall table, and it stands on its own base, so it needs no wall or hook. The LED lighting runs on two AA batteries, which are not included, so it is worth having a pair ready. It belongs in dry rooms indoors. Because you fill it yourself, it makes a personal gift. Each drawer is roughly 4cm, 3cm and 3.5cm inside, which leaves room for a wrapped sweet, a folded note or a tiny trinket, so every morning brings a small surprise chosen with care.
Built mainly from wood, with metal and plastic parts alongside the LED lights, it weighs 0.629KG and is light enough to move easily. It is reusable, so once the last drawer is opened it can be packed away and brought out to fill again Christmas after Christmas. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from damp, and take the batteries out before storing it. For gifting, we like to hand it over in late November with every drawer already filled, so December begins with a lit village and a note waiting in drawer one.
