    Well, I suppose if anyone's ever been curious as to how many butt plugs you can fit into an advent calendar, now we know!

    Slightly more boring than the above, but we bought our advent calendar in Hotel Chocolat this week.

    That looks delish! I was given a box of their chocolates by my hubby and son when I came home from hospital after having my daughter and they were amazing. Amazing to the point that I'm not sure I posses the necessary restraint to limit myself to one every day, I'd probably eat that whole calendar on the 1st of December :o

    I got two of the advent beauty calendars for myself, the Decleor one and the Latest in Beauty one. I missed both last year so am utterly thrilled. That should be about 500 euro of product for an outlay of 120 euro, if you can believe what they say. The Latest in Beauty one is gigantic really heavy :) I am opening a door on each a day, I am so excited with myself, like a child.

    So far everything has been really good, bar maybe the lip exfoliant. I resolve to actually use the eye cream this year.

    If I had the money I would by every beauty advent calendar going. But this is a good start regardless :)

    Nice gift! I once ordered a Hotel Chocolat advent calendar online despite the ridiculous shipping free. Glad they're in Dublin now! Plus it was free because we had a voucher from an event we attended. Free chocolate is best chocolate.

    The only issue is that we'll be sharing it so it's one chocolate every second day. :eek:

    My Bird & Blend tea advent calendar is now waiting for me with DPD today. Excited for it. Got it last year for the first time and loved it. Nice way to try out a number of the flavours without committing to a large amount.

    Got the L'Occitane one last year but still working through some of the bits I got in it so think if I'm going to get a beauty calendar this year I'll go for a different one.

    The Hotel Chocolate one looks good - I love their chocolate. Might have to look at that.

    I've never actually did the whole Advent Calendar thing ago, I am definitely considering it looking at the Ferrero my other half would love it, he enjoys a cuppa in the evening so he would love that with it every night, unfortunately no cuppa for me at night anymore it keeps me a awake

    M&S definitely do children's Advent calendars, can't remember seeing ones with better quality chocolate, but I'm sure they must do. And if not, they should!

    Your only other option would be to get a fill your own type advent calendar and put M&S chocolates into it.

    Im human and love the different Advent calendars but it's nice to see the nativity calendar is still around. As a child in the 80s we had a nativity calendar but there was no sweet. My siblings and I took it in turn to open a different date every day!

    If you do want to go down that route. This would be a good option.
