In reply to Sarah. Hi Sarah, I was eyeing a tea advent calendar for myself! I am very picky about my tea choices, so it's good to know that the David's Tea one is good!

Now that my kids are a bit older (one tween, one early teen) I’ve moved on to tea advent calendars- I’ve tried a couple but the caffeine free one from David’s Tea is amazing. It’s pricey but I can get 3 servings of tea out of one day’s tea allotment so we all can enjoy it. It’s a nice cozy after school/evening ritual for us and the flavors are very kid friendly in my opinion- there’s things like “Unicorn Dream” and “Cotton Candy” but I really think we enjoyed them all. (I saw “TEA” listed in one of your gratitude post ideas so I thought I’d mention it 😉)

I buy LEGO sets and then give each kid the parts for a page or two along with photos on a tablet of those instructions. I make sure they don’t get to see anything that will give away what they are making. That is the surprise as they sometimes don’t figure it out for quite a while. They like this better than the LEGO advent calendars.

I started making our own advent calendar when we lived in Pakistan where getting our hands on ready made ones was not an option, and we've stuck with it. The kids get second hand book shop books, activities (including a lot of family activities that have become tradition), and on occasion a candy or chocolate. They've already started guessing what will be in this year's calendar and counting down the days until mummy hangs it up!
