Holiday Gifts: Advent
One thing I have noticed this year is a number of new advent calendars geared towards my favorite interests!
I missed out on nabbing a David’s Tea Advent Calendar, but I am drooling over the possibilities! I must remember this for next year.
David’s Tea, Advent Calendar 2015, $40
Quite a bit more pricey, but ever so incredibly lovely is the Fortnum & Mason Wooden Advent Tea Calendar.
Fortnum & Mason Wooden Advent Tea Calendar, 125.00 BP
In the yarn category, a lot of podcasters went for the Opal Advent Calendar – 24 little balls of Opal sock yarn.
Opal Advent Calendar, Love Knitting, $85.00
Do you have an advent calendar? If so, what is yours filled with?
