create your own advent tradition
there are so many creative ways to celebrate the countdown to Christmas beyond the traditional chocolate calendar.
A reusable advent calendar filled with small treasures, notes, or activities is a lovely eco-friendly option you can personalise and reuse every year.
For something hands-on, try a Wasgij Advent Puzzle Calendar, where the whole family can add a few pieces each day and watch the picture come together — it’s a great way to unwind together in the evenings.
Or explore a Hey Clay Advent Set, which gives kids (and grown-ups!) a fun, tactile way to create colourful Christmas characters out of soft, air-dry clay each day.
You can also make your own activity advent, with daily prompts like “bake cookies together,” “go see the Christmas lights,” or “write a kind note for someone special.”
No matter which style you choose, the real magic of advent is in the moments you share — creating laughter, connection, and memories as you count down to Christmas.

Wasgij Advent Calendar (Reindeer Rumpus!)
Wasgij puzzles are unique from traditional jigsaw puzzles in that instead of recreating the image shown on the box, you must create an entirely different image - one that represents what the characters on the box are looking at!
This Christmas Advent Calendar version of the Wasgij amps up the fun with 24 doors to open, each with its own 54-piece puzzle inside.
Santa is enjoying the festivities at the Christmas market, but his excitable reindeer have other ideas. Use your imagination to piece together what happens when the reindeer run riot.
Every 54-piece puzzle measures approximately 16.5 x 11.5cm
Puzzles are made from 100% recycled board
