Alternative Advent Calendars: 2015



The last few years have seen the 'alternative advent calendar' become increasingly more popular. From just a few cosmetic calendars - there are now literally thousands on the market for men, women and children, catering for all tastes. For the person that can be a little awkward to buy for, these would be a great early present, the gift that keeps on giving, with maybe a larger size product to finish them off for Christmas day.

It wouldn't be Christmas without Cadbury's chocolate for me so I just had to add that on there too! For those that are dieting, the alternative calendars are a great option - a treat of a different kind.

There are lots of options here, from tea bags to make up, something for every budget and style - even a beer one for those that want to indulge that little bit more, or a beard one for the hairier ones! Aside from the ones above, there are so many to choose from. My favourites for the kids are the Playmobil and Lego calendars, but I hadn't seen this Hot Wheels one before so that one took centre stage.
