Description
This miniature advent calendar Christmas card brings a proper countdown to Christmas in the smallest of sizes. It carries the Winter Walk print, a vintage-style illustration of robins perched on pale winter branches against a soft pale blue ground, with a gold winter sun, sprigs of holly, red berries and white seed heads drifting around them. Across the front sit 24 little doors, each numbered in red, and behind every one waits a festive image, with a snowman, a star, snowflakes and holly among them. The card is 8.7cm long and 6.3cm wide, about the size of a credit card, and it comes with its own red paper envelope sized to fit.
Send it to friends and family in place of an ordinary Christmas card, and they can open one door each day as they count down to Christmas. It is a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys a traditional advent calendar but has little room for a big one, and it is a warm thought to send to someone far from home. It also makes an alternative gift tag: tie it to a present with ribbon or tuck it beneath the bow, and the gift carries a countdown of its own. Once folded and stood up, it sits neatly on a desk, a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bedside table.
The calendar is printed on card and the envelope is paper, so the whole thing weighs about 5.5g and is just 0.1cm thick when flat. Ease each door open gently with a fingertip so the picture behind it stays neat, and keep the card somewhere dry and out of strong sunlight to keep the print bright. We like to buy a handful at once: one for each person on the Christmas card list who would enjoy something a little different, and a spare or two to slip inside a larger card or tie onto a parcel.
