As a kid, opening those little Advent calendar doors in the lead up to Christmas was one of the most exciting things (still is!?). My mum was generous enough to let me have both a picture one and a chocolate one. Such a thrill.
But now, there are more Advent calendars on the market to appeal to any kid! We've taken a look around to scope out the best on the market ahead of the greatly anticipated December 1.
