Description
This wooden advent calendar is cut in the shape of a Christmas tree, with 24 little drawers that you fill yourself for the days leading up to Christmas. The tree is a natural wood board topped with a small gold star, and the drawers sit in rows down it like a stack of presents, from a single drawer at the top to six across the widest row and three at the foot for the trunk. Each white drawer front carries its number in gold beside a gold festive picture: a snowflake, a bauble, a reindeer, a robin, a little bear, a sleigh, a pile of parcels and a car taking home its tree. A small gold knob on every front makes it easy to pull open. It measures 38cm tall, 32cm across and 5.8cm deep.
It looks wonderful on a mantelpiece, and at just 5.8cm deep it sits neatly without crowding the space. Inside, each drawer is about 4cm by 3cm by 3.5cm, room enough for a wrapped sweet, a folded note, a tiny trinket or a clue to a bigger surprise hidden elsewhere. Because you choose every filling, the countdown can be as personal as you like, which also makes it a thoughtful personalised gift to fill for someone you know well.
We like that it is reusable: once the last drawer is opened, simply empty it, wrap it in tissue and put it away with the decorations until next December. The natural wood board and white drawer fronts need very little looking after; dust them now and then with a soft dry cloth and store the calendar somewhere dry between seasons. For a gift, fill it before handing it over so the first drawer is ready on the first of December, or give it empty with a bag of little treats and let them fill it their own way.
