Christmas is almost here and with Black Friday just passing, gift shopping season has arrived and it’s time to get on the bandwagon of consumerism (WOOHOO!)
Jokes aside, Christmas to me is about sharing joy with your loved ones, and be it through commodities or emotions, nothing feels better than treating yourself or the people you love with gifts that’ll brighten up a normal/dull day. The best thing about advent calendars is the fact that you get to open a surprise everyday on the days leading up to Christmas. Such gift ‘calendars’ vary in content, but all carry wonderful surprises to truly brighten up one’s mood! Whether you are looking to buy an advent calendar for your sister, mother, girlfriend, wife, daughter, etc., treat her to these fun little advent calendars, ranging from affordable to pricey (but TOTALLY worth it!).
1. Make your own! What’s sweeter than putting little presents/sweets in the advent calendar yourself so that’s it’s customized and personal!
