Advent Calendars- Spoilers

@medz My kid is 17 and she still likes advent calendars. I’m going to have to ship them to college soon.

@RiotDemon I just ordered this one to put in my ever growing stash.

@sammydog01 frozen isn’t really my thing, haha.

I looked at some beauty ones, but they have a bunch of stuff I’m not interested in. Especially when there is places like Shop Miss A (shopmissa.com) that has most things for $1. I bought a bunch of experimental stuff and if it doesn’t work, I don’t feel bad cuz, $1.

Besides, I rarely wear makeup and after being subscribed to ipsy for a few years, I’m pretty set. Been thinking about canceling because I keep getting beige eyeshadow and boring nail polish colors even though I’ve told them I want all the crazy colors in the survey they have.

Really need to start another thread looking for monthly subscription boxes that are cheap.

@lisaviolet You do the coolest stuff!

@sammydog01 Thank you. The tough part was finding things that would fit in those little slots.

@lisaviolet Did you track down those tiny chocolate bars?

@sammydog01 I think I did. And I used Kisses, too. I think I put in some hair things, some tiny disney toys, a couple of pieces of jewelry.

@lisaviolet That’s gorgeous! I’m going to try to make one next year for the grands.

@mehbee Thanks. I remember taking the ribbon that surrounds it outside and spraying glitter on it. Layers of glitter. What a mess. lol

@OldCatLady I was afraid to click that link. (Don’t worry folks, it’s safe for work.)

@sammydog01 It’s Scotch whiskey instead of chocolates. I’m shocked, shocked by your lack of trust.

@sammydog01 nsfw, and sold out.

@OldCatLady I was afraid it was this
one.

@sammydog01 mine was worse, it actually shows what you get. Interesting concept. Supposed to build excitement so by the time Christmas rolls around, the recipients are screwing like bunnies.

@RiotDemon drats…both links are sold out…hubby would have a heart attack…and LOVE it!

@mikibell I’m glad it’s sold out, I wouldn’t want anyone having a heart attack!

@RiotDemon yes…but it would be a lot of fun giving it to him (me, not you!)

@duodec Just posting to note: the small calendar has tiny solid chocolates that are pretty good. The big one has truffles of various flavors, and they are nice.

@duodec my daughter talked me into buying 2 advent calendars at Michaels yesterday… 60% off plus an additional 20% off…(how could I say no?) …now I may have to go to Aldi’s and try theirs! Kids won’t eat the chocolate in the Michaels calendar not worth the price whatever it was!

@RiotDemon Thanks for the link- I will check it out every day. There was one guy who did cute funny animated videos of the Lego calendar but I think he stopped.

@RiotDemon OK, you have to post this everyday

@mehbee ok, will do!

@mehbee @riotdemon I agree! These guys are jolly.

@UncleVinny last year I ended up watching all of the previous years advent calendars in a sitting and then had to patiently wait through the other 20+ days of 2016.

@RiotDemon Holy crap my kid and I had the Minion and Playmobil farm calendars last year just like these guys! We had fun with them. (I got minions!)

@RiotDemon my son has that mario shirt!

@RiotDemon They picked the wrong advent calendars.
