Advent Calendars

stormchaser

> WeebyWitch I can recommend it! : Sounds good. I researched how to make my own. It’s not that difficult. I might do that this year. Then I could have all sorts of tasty teas and stuff in there. And vary the theme each year. That sounds really fun! If you gonna do it next christmas, post many pics. :

> That sounds really fun! If you gonna do it next christmas, post many pics. I’ll post pictures but like I said. I’ll change it to a Solstice one so there will be less days but I’ll post it in my set thread as a project for sure and I’ll post in this one the actual goodies that come out of it. ^_^

I was totally too lazy to update my calendar here so I just decided to make an album on imgur with all the pictures. It was a lot of stuff, no way I was able to eat everything by myself xD I shared some with my parents and I still have some stuff left as well. The calendar was definitive worth the money but I don't think I'll get another on of these again. It's just too much stuff and I feel like there could have been more variety country wise :/ Some countries were in it twice or even three times and it was just Europe and USA/Canada, some asian stuff would have been cool as well. It was still a good calendar and the packaging was lovely! https://imgur.com/a/uU25sqI > Omg, those chocolates look tasty! This is my tea adventcalendar. Love iit. Wow that looks so nice! : I also had a tea calendar once but it was pretty much just a normal box of tea with a different flavour every day :/ > As an update for my advent calendar, the chocolates tasted awful It's fun opening them and seeing the chocolate designs but afterwards, they can go in the trash xD Awww that's a shame that they tasted shitty :/ Maybe kids don't care about that when they get them xD > @sweetjacky yours looks amazing and super fancy! I’m gaining more weight just looking at the pictures lol I'm not surprised with the amount of stuff that was inside : And making one yourself sounds cool! I'd make one for myself too but I like the surprise when opening them and if I make it myself there's no surprise unfortunately xD

> And making one yourself sounds cool! I'd make one for myself too but I like the surprise when opening them and if I make it myself there's no surprise unfortunately xD We could make them and exchange them instead of making ones for ourselves? Then refill them and send them back to each other the next year or add other people in the mix? Do an advent calendar exchange.

Do an advent calendar exchange. That sounds fun actually! I wonder how much the shipping would be and also if I can manage to make one xD

weebywitch

> That sounds fun actually! I wonder how much the shipping would be and also if I can manage to make one xD Shipping would be a concern for sure, I have access to flat rate international shipping... but I found a bunch of ideas on how to make various ones. I can send them to you as a starting point.

sweetjacky storm chaser here’s one of the longer lists of projects that I found. The shadow box idea that I had is actually number 29 on the list lol. But that exact item isn’t available for sale, I don’t think. I’d have to 3D print some dividers for a shadow box.

Of course taking in count the shipping of said things.

There's so many nice ideas dor calendars! Tbh I could probably reused the packages of mine because they look really nice but I threw them in the bin today because I don't want to have them lying around for almost a whole year xD

weebywitch

> Ooh I found one! Very cute. Maby I will do one as a gift to my friend too! Fun stuff! ^_^> There's so many nice ideas dor calendars! Tbh I could probably reused the packages of mine because they look really nice but I threw them in the bin today because I don't want to have them lying around for almost a whole year xD ah that’s too bad. I’m hoarder enough to have kept them lol. But that gives you an opportunity to make some yourself maybe.

So I received two advent calendar kits. I don’t think the stickers will stay on the bags as is so I’m considering turning them into iron on transfers or maybe Velcro attachments? But there’s so many different stickers that then I’d only be able to use some of them. Oh well. So did you lot decide that we’re exchanging with each other or are we doing it with folks in our own countries?

Id love to exchange with you guys. :

> Id love to exchange with you guys. : : I guess I’ll need to get to work on the fillings then. ^_^

weebywitch

> Yay. Any allergies or tastes you dont like? grapefruit, anise/fennel off the top of my head. How about you?
