Blogmas | Advent Calendars Affordable Last Minute DIY


If you are like me and like the idea of counting down the days til Christmas, an Advent Calendar is the perfect idea for you!
I finished mine last night and did 2 of them, because this is my first year of having/ making my own ones and I got a bit overly exited! :D
So in this post I will show you my very quick, easy and affordable Advent Calendars and also a few other ideas that I came across via pinterest!

To start off, this is the first Advent that I've made.


All I did was to buy a lot of candy and I also added a few face masks, bubble baths and a couple of Christmas themed books that I've got in the last few weeks and never got to use/read. I have this sleigh from last year, it was a flower basket and I really liked it so I kept it, but you can use any type of basket or container that you have lying around. You will also need some sort of paper to wrap the presents and a marker to number your little gifts.

So to recap the things you need are:
❄ candy
❄ anything else you would like as a mini "gift"
❄ basket
❄ markers
❄ wrapping paper

My 2nd Advent calendar.


For this one you will need a little imagination, because on little sheets of paper you will write 24 Christmas activities, such as watch a Christmas movie, decorate your room, Christmas crafts, Christmas cookies, anything Christmas basically!

All you will need for this:
❄ a jar
❄ paper
❄ pen
❄ something to decorate the jar
❄ scissors

And voila! You are done!
