Advent Calendars

The festive season is just around the corner, and now is the time to look for the advent calendar of your dreams. For some years now, the market has been flooded with calendars, each more tempting than the last, and at prices to suit everyone's pocket. However, in the face of this flood of boxes and products, it can be a little difficult to make a choice. It would be a shame not to be spoiled during your Christmas countdown. Here, we explain the different models available and why they might be just what you're looking for.

Why is it good to be addicted to your calendar?

This object is a staple of our childhood. For many, it's our Proust chocolate, and that's no doubt why it's so dear to our hearts. Nevertheless, few gourmands know where this tradition comes from. It actually dates back to the 19th century, to celebrate the time leading up to the Nativity. This accessory commemorating the birth of Christ offered families the chance to bond and perpetuate the spirit of Christmas. Having your own calendar, even as an adult, is therefore a way of indulging yourself while gradually getting into the holiday spirit.

Advent calendar: which one is right for you?

In the past, the choice of calendar content was more than limited. Only the design and brand changed. There was always a chocolate behind every little box up to the 25th, unless you created your own. Today, this is no longer the case. Calendars have undergone a veritable revolution, adapting to the desires of the people for whom they are intended. To satisfy all tastes, brands have reinvented themselves to offer gift sets for gourmets, coquettish people and those in search of design or tasting pieces.

Deco calendars

In addition to the traditional chocolate-filled calendar, there are also sumptuous wooden models. Decorated in the colors of Christmas, they offer a playful vision of the days remaining before the presents are opened. Aesthetically pleasing, they will keep young and old alike waiting while serving as advent decorations. Another significant advantage is that they can be reused year after year. They're the ideal choice for families who want to treat themselves while doing good for the planet.

Items to decorate yourself

Not a big fan of sweets? Do members of your family suffer from allergies? Are you a DIY enthusiast? Elf houses, Christmas pyramids and advent villages are for you. You'll have little boxes at your disposal, into which you can slip home-baked cakes or personalized, self-made surprises. Your children and spouse won't be able to resist your various tokens of love!

Original calendars

If you've decided to go off the beaten track this year, or if you're looking for a gift box to spoil one of your loved ones, why not opt for a candle calendar? The calendar will enhance your festive celebrations, and the various surprise candles it contains will be little invitations to travel, perfuming your home for a long time to come.
