As today is the first day for advent calendars, has anyone got any cool advent calendars for grown ups?

I'm helping my kids build the Haynes FM radio advent calendar.

Today we got a speaker which we can test by connecting it to a AA battery. I'm sure it will result in some top quality audio equipment.

We used to get those but sadly none of mine wanted one this year.

By daughter has a Barbie one, which is rubbish. They even show you all the contents on the back.

Best one I had was the Lindt one last year smile

Eh?

Though granted they're silly money now compared to their prices a week ago.

Got a star wars calendar but not the Lego one, had to get it yesterday and although
There were stores offering deals any stores local had nil stock. Luckily I'm 400 miles away so it wasn't my fault!.

My wife has the (excellent) l'occitane advent calendar - she bought a wooden advent calendar for me, that's enormous but capable of carrying many treats biggrin
