I got one for Mrs B and junior B. I also got the dog one.
I sent Miss B, in her first year at university, a Gordon's Pink Gin one.
I don't have one. However, on another tab on this here computer, I've noticed that quite a few are now reduced at Amazon so I might buy one or two more and just start a day or two late. Ones that have caught my eye that are currently reduced...

I bought myself two - Beerhawk's one (had it last year and it was great!) and Tiny Rebel's, which arrived in a very festive outer box and the calendar itself is REALLY nicely designed.
