Description

This advent calendar is a little gingerbread house, 22cm long, 20cm wide and 27.5cm tall, with a warm brown hand-painted finish. It is made of 90% MDF and 10% plywood, and its windows, front door and roof dormers are numbered compartments, so the house does the counting. The first four doors sit on the front, a side wall and both roof slopes carry more, and the numbers run up to 24 on the back. Small round knobs pull the drawers open, and the dormers lift up from the roof.

It is small enough for a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the end of a sideboard, and tall enough to be seen across the room. It suits a household that likes a daily ritual in the run-up to Christmas: one door each morning, one little surprise behind it. The compartments are small, so think tiny toys, folded notes, hair clips or a miniature tree ornament. Once the countdown is over the drawers are empty again, so the house packs away with the decorations to be filled afresh next year.

The finish is painted by hand, and hand painting always leaves small differences from one piece to the next, so the lines and dots on yours are its own. The detailing is generous: scalloped icing along the eaves and base, scale-like tiles across the roof, peppermint swirls beside the windows and a candy-cane frame round the front door, with a gingerbread man and a little tree standing proud of the front wall. At 1.65KG it has a reassuring weight for its size. MDF does not take kindly to water, so keep it dry and dust it with a soft cloth. For styling, give it a clear spot with a sprig of greenery beside it, and turn it as the weeks pass so the next doors face the room.

Frequently Asked

What is the advent calendar made of?

It is made of 90% MDF and 10% plywood, and the brown finish is painted by hand.

How big is the gingerbread house?

It is 22cm long, 20cm wide and 27.5cm tall, and it weighs 1.65KG, so it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, windowsill or sideboard.

Where are the numbered doors?

The first four doors are on the front. More are on a side wall and on both slopes of the roof, and the numbers run up to 24 on the back.

Can I fill it with sweets or chocolate?

No. The maker states it is not food safe, so fill the compartments with small toys, folded notes or trinkets rather than anything to eat.

Can it be used again next year?

Yes. The drawers and roof flaps open and close, so once the countdown is over it packs away and can be filled again the following year.

Is anything included with it?

You receive the gingerbread house with its numbered compartments, ready for you to fill. The styling props shown are not included.
