[Misc] Do you have an advent calendar?

[Bozza]

Bozza jnr has Reese's Peanut Butter Cup one, and Mrs B has a Lindt one.

I do not have one. Yet.

However, last year I managed to get this - https://amzn.to/3H2OsIu - very cheap by waiting for it to be reduced. My email purchase confirmation reveals I ordered at 4:15pm on the 1st December and I had it the very next morning, just a day late. I'm holding my nerve for a repeat.

Have you been tucking into Christmas advent chocolate yet?

Bought Mrs V a Thornton's one then two days later saw the famous Cheese Advent calendar in Aldi so, the Mrs is well sorted.. sure I saw a Gin Advent Calendar somewhere too ?

I have treated Keaton Jnr to a Quentin Blame one as I'm such a fan

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Mother in law bought the wife and kids one each but not for me, second year running!

Feel like it’s time to fight back and get an obviously better one than theirs and have it front and centre when she turns up (unannounced) frequently over the next month.

I bought one that was really rubbish. It's days are numbered.

Haven’t had one since I was a child, but this year the GF bought me one which is Goat themed.

Strangely I have the Reese's Cup one and my work Team have the boozy one you refer to. They're based in Bedford so I'll be collecting my chocolates when I go down for the Christmas do.

I have a Snaffling Pig pork scratching one

 

[Marty McFly]

The wife and I have one each from the local chocolatier. On first tasting I'm not sure it's worth the extra cash.

Good reminder this thread.
I've got the Wera advent calendar last two years, must check what's in this year's offering

Gone for a Hotel Chocolate Caramel chocolate one. It was Santa-shaped this morning.

My wife has gone for a Vitamins one.

Which vitamin was it today? C?

My girlfriend bought me an Ikea one*. It's like a chocolate selection box, with a different one each day. Vanilla truffle this morning

* No, I didn't have to assemble it

 

[Brovion]

Well I thought I did, but apparently it was for our grandson. 'Sake. If you just leave it on the mantlepiece without so much as a word then what am I supposed to think? I'm not bloody psychic.

She was very excited as she got two vitamins. It's very exciting as if she gets a Vitamin C one she has a great immune system that day, but when she has a Vitamin D one her bones and teeth are in great shape

I think this years might be my favourite ever advent calendar (finally beating a Where's Wally one I had in the 90's).

Get in the Christmas spirit and show her how much she means to you, one of these should do the job! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Ch...a-9609-4980-9060-b735fce03e63&redirect=mobile

Good shout thanks

Although the Terrys chocolate orange (due on the 25th) has all the hallmarks of a cancerous growth on the right bollock, certainly an icebreaker!
