For many impatient people, December 1 marks the opening of the first box of an Advent calendar.
If the 19th century German tradition to keep children waiting until Christmas featured pious images, the countdown of the 24 days preceding the feast of the Nativity now demonstrates more fantasy and enchantment. It is true that it is particularly pleasant to receive a small gift every day, even if it is just a square of chocolate. Brands have understood this well and have taken advantage of this custom to offer ever more beautiful and varied boxes.
FOR ALL TASTES
Advent calendars are now available in all shapes and sizes. You will find the classic cardboard box made up of 24 or 25 pre-cut boxes which open like windows, but also more original and creative versions with individual cardboard boxes, socks or bags each containing a present. The decorations are more and more elaborate so that the packaging is as surprising as the surprises! All prices are available, from a few euros to several hundred for “premium” and luxury models.
As for the themes and products offered, there will be something for everyone!
