Description
This wooden advent calendar is shaped like a red house, with twenty-four numbered drawers set beneath a lit winter scene in its gable. Each drawer front carries its number from 1 to 24 in white, with a small white knob to pull it open, and the roof is edged in white with a red scalloped trim. Inside the gable, a deep blue night sky with a crescent moon and gold stars stands behind green fir trees, three white cottages picked out in gold and three little reindeer. Fit two AAA batteries and the LED lights glow through the scene, warming the cottage windows and the stars. It stands 33.5cm tall, 29cm wide and 6.8cm deep, and weighs 1.52KG.
It stands on its own rather than hanging, so it suits a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a shelf or a hall table in a dry room indoors, where the drawers are easy to reach. Because you fill it yourself, the calendar becomes as personal as you like: a small surprise, a folded note or a tiny keepsake for each morning of Advent. That makes it a thoughtful choice for personalised gifting, whether you fill it for someone at home or hand it over ready to be filled. Each drawer is roughly 4cm by 3cm by 3.5cm inside, so small things fit best.
The body is wood, with metal and plastic parts and LED lighting set into the scene. Because it is reusable, it can come out again every December, so the countdown can become a family tradition. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, wipe the drawer fronts with a barely damp cloth, and take the batteries out before you pack it away. For a cheerful start to Advent, set it where the family will see it each morning, and fill the drawers a few days before the first of December.
