Description
This Christmas tree advent calendar turns the countdown to Christmas into a little village of cottages, each one a small numbered drawer with its own round knob. The tree outline has a natural finish and is set with shelves holding rows of cottages in red, green, cream and white, decorated with snowflakes, sprigs of foliage, windows and doors, and the whole piece is topped with a bold red star. It stands 61.5cm tall, 38.5cm across at its widest and just 6.2cm deep, so it has real presence without crowding a room.
At this height it reads clearly from across the room, which makes it a natural centrepiece for a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hall console through December. Its slim depth lets it sit on a narrow shelf where a bulkier calendar would not fit, and the red and green cottages sit happily alongside traditional decorations, garlands and fairy lights. We like it for anyone who would rather fill an advent calendar themselves, with a small treat, a folded note or a tiny trinket tucked into each drawer, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for a home that loves a traditional, homely look.
Each cottage is a pull-out drawer that slides back into its own place on the shelf, and the round knob on the front makes it easy to open each morning. Because the drawers are yours to fill, it can come out year after year, with the same village of cottages ready to be stocked again each December. Between seasons, dust it with a soft dry cloth and store it somewhere dry, lying flat, so the shelves and drawers stay in good order. For a finishing touch, set it on the mantelpiece with a garland running along either side, or wrap it as a gift in late November so the first drawer is ready to open on the first of December.
