Are You Buying Advent Calendars This Year?

I haven't looked at them yet, too early. What hasn't gone up in price. My daughter is 38, and I still buy her an advent calendar, I probably always will. I usually just get one of the cheap ones.

I've noticed as last couple years go by they're gradually creeping up and up in price

No. They’re not worth it, unless you buy them in the sale and use them next year. Or you can make a personalised one

Advent calendars are big business, gone are the days when it was just Chocolate ...

My partner has got a Advent calendar for daughte r& I to share for the last 2 years as part of our Christmas presents, we had the Debenhams one two years ago & last year we had the Boots one...

I bought my partner a lovely Chocolate Liqueurs one for last two years which he enjoyed..

It’s crazy damn expensive! Pfft never have I gotten one like why bother just open a door each day for a tiny piece?!

It’s better to buy chocolates as gifts instead that are much bigger in size and has lots of different flavours! Keep a look out on offers in supermarkets or better yet go to Aldi to buy them!

My two sons are quite older now but I still get one for my 16 year old, don't know why but it's just something he's always had. My other son has never bothered with them

Yes we still get them for the youngest, nothing special, just the ones with a chocolate a day, normally a £1/£1.50, but I'm guessing with most stores ripping us off, they'll be a tenner now lol

I haven’t purchased advert calendars for years. When my children became adults I got them a bar of chocolate instead, so much cheaper and they were happy.

I probably won’t bother even though i do like opening the window each day. They are usually a rip off. I got my mum a bonne maman one though which i know she will love.

Bought 2 for my daughter and grandson yesterday but price was nearly double what I paid last year

I think I will be, I always get the lint one, used to be £5 but seen for £7 this year. It’s not the lindor one as more but like the one which is blue. Has little lindor and normal choice but 25th get a Santa.

Always have Always will, for kids though, other half save his til Christmas eve then scoffs the lot. This year though, I've decided to treat myself aswell. Never had one before, I'm quite excited

I probably will get one for my mum. Some in B&M seemed a good price. I normally get myself one but not chocolate. Either stationery or one with body wash ex.

I make my own and wrap small things up. Some are samples and some are chocolates. It’s quite time consuming but they all love it so it’s worth the effort.

I have a refillable advent calendar, just buy whatever you like to fill the pockets, eg a tub of celebrations for £4 that will fill my pockets for 2 people, 23 days then maybe put something a little special in day 24. cheaper than buy 2 advent calendars.

They look alright.

Will go for the cheapest one

I do my own, buy small gifts off Temu/ Aliexpress mainly (I do this from about July onwards - Aliexpress have had bundle deals, with an offer of £1.50 off and small things like bracelets from 62p). I have reusable advent calendars. I do the same with crackers, find a nice selection of crackers that are cheap but look good, undo one end (usually a ribbon) carefully and replace the little bit of plastic goods, seen some in QD, £6.99, large, look great. By the time I put a decent gift in ( I got some small pocket watches for £1.29 each of Shein in the summer, for example) they will be better than the really pricey ones and I work out that all in all the gift averages about 75p, so much cheaper than them as well. I do it every year and it is well received.

I won't be buying any - they may look nice but most are really poor value.

Yes, we will still be getting them. I got my son a dairy milk one that was £2. I’m quite happy with that. But some are seriously expensive
