Christmas may still feel a way away but if you're planning on buying advent calendar, it's best to get in early! There's a calendar for pretty much everyone these days, from beauty queens to candle lovers - and even for pets!
For the book lover in your life, there is no greater indulgence than a book advent calendar. These were introduced relatively recently but have become incredibly popular. The most luxurious offer a new read for every day of advent, while there are more affordable versions with mini books behind each window for children too.
Behind each gorgeously-designed window, children will find a mini book about an inspiring person from history, including eco hero Steve Irwin, to freedom-fighter Martin Luther King and visionary artist Frida Kahlo.
This cute advent calendar has 24 envelopes, each containing a special mini Mr Men or Little Miss storybook, including Mr Worry’s Christmas.
Countdown to Christmas Day with these 24 lovely storybooks, which are a mix of classics like Cinderella and Christmas stories such as A Christmas Carol.
Each little envelope contains either a classic Christmas story or festive-themed activities for kids to do, including seasonal jokes, wordsearches, mazes, sudokus and spot-the difference puzzles.
Open the 24 windows and guess which book from 2024 is being described from the blurb. Once they are all open, choose your favourite four books and they'll be sent to your home.
Which literature lover wouldn't want to receive these 12 beautifully wrapped parcels? Each one holds a Bookishly Editions copy of a classic or modern gem, with an exclusively designed dust jacket.
Each of the 25 pockets in this calendar is packed with book-themed gifts, including stickers, greeting cards and wrapping paper.
All the books in this beautifully wrapped advent are secondhand - but guaranteed to be in good condition. You can select from favoourite genres, including crime, women's fiction and classics.
