An Advent calendar to wait for Christmas


Have you noticed how Christmas is slowly occupying our thoughts, shop windows and getting the kids all excited with the prospect of Father Christmas’ visit. The countdown will soon be on and we know how hard it is for children to wait for the big day! So to help the whole family (because everyone’s waiting πŸ˜‰ ) through this looong wait, we thought a personalised Advent calendar to wait for Christmas would be really useful.

There are two parts to this calendar:

  • the wood Advent calendar, itself,with its Christmas village theme
  • the Advent calendar kit, that contains all the necessary to hold your treats and surprises. πŸ™‚

The Mine4Sure personalised wooden Advent calendar

The idea behind our [personalised Advent calendar](https://www.mine4sure.com/personalised-wooden-advent-calendar) is to offer a sustainable calendar, made from a natural material, that you can personalise and combine with a DIY to let your creativity flow. Re-use it year after year, it will very quickly find its place in your Christmas traditions.

Made from natural poplar wood, you’ll love its Christmas village look. You can personalise it by writing a short messageΒ  of your choice (such as ‘Waiting for Christmas’ or ‘Frost family’) and the names of your children or all the family members. You can write up to 7 names for very big families or to include names of your furry or feathery family members.
Our Advent calendar comes in a range of 4 different Christmas village themes, each with different style houses and colours but always festive.

Our custom Advent calendar has 24 holes from which to hang your Advent treat bags and surprises. It also comes with a length of hessian (burlap) string so you can display it wherever you wish.

Now that you have personalised your Advent calendar and received it at home, it is time to hang your 24 little bags on it! It couldn’t be easier!
All you need to do is:
