No advent callendars in the USA?
 

What's up with that? December without a wee door to open up and a yummy little chocolate to eat every day?

Anyone know somewhere we could get some? Online or anything?

I tried making some with the kids today but it turned out disasterous.

We have advent calendars. I know I saw some for sale at Fresh Market this week. Do you have one near you?

Or here are some online:

Awesome thanks! I dont think we have Fresh market, but I'm going to grab some from amazon. Didn't think to look there.

Do you have any store that sells Playmobil near you? They do great advent calendars. There are usually chocolate ones at Walgreen's and the like.

Also some for sale on eBay....

Good luck!

Find out if there's a World Market near you. They usually have a good selection, and the one near us even has Cadbury's Advent Calenders this year :)

Very flash!

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

I would bet World Market stores have imported advent calendars for sale at this time of year.

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

:huh: They're in just about every corner store around here. I've had one every year when I was a kid

We got this cool wooden lighthouse one from LL Bean for my kids:

i've seen lots about over the yrs, saw some in wholefoods just yesterday.

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

There are quite a lot of stores that sell them now...you just have to know where to look. Even my local pharmacy sells the UK type chocolate advent calendars.

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

yep, our local one has Cadbury's ones:eek:

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

... but are they Cadburys from the UK?

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

Trader Joe's $1 each :)

Re: No advent callendars in the USA?
 

They love calenders of all types near us, which I have always found a bit weird vecause they are pretty boring. And they seem to be very expensive here. In the UK they used to give them away free at the chinese chippy. Here you can pay ten dollars for one with kittens playing with bog roll. In fact there is a whole calender shop in the mall.
I find it a tad bizarre.
