How to make an advent calendar?
The 4 weeks, which precede Christmas, the Advent, are becoming more popular again. It is nostalgic and it shows how nice and cozy it is to be together with the family. Moments with the family are not self-evident in this busy time. A calendar in the living room strengthens these moments a little. Together you can open a box/bag or package every day, these are small moments of enjoyment.

A lot of companies come up with their calendars, which is of course very clever. They can promote their products (samples, mini-products, promos) in a fun way. Getting a mini-gift every day is also just super fun. Nowadays, an advent calendar really belongs to our Christmas and you see it (also as decoration) more and more often!
