With the season of festive feasting nearly upon us, now may be the time to start preparing for the big day. Advent calendars were traditionally choc-full of sweet treats as they were gifted to children in the run-up to Christmas.
These special calendars have reportedly been around since the 19th century when a little boy's mum stuffed small sweets into a cardboard calendar. Advent calendar offerings have become a little more sophisticated since then.
Now you get all sorts of treats packed into Advent calendars, from beauty products and jewellery to traditional chocolates and alcohol. Yes, adults are getting in on the Advent calendar fun too and why not?
