Sounds nice.
Mine us a self indulgent beauty calendar, as usual. I agree, it's a treat.

That sounds like a good idea. I shall explore

Ooh yes - I loved my jam advent calendar last year.

I had the sewing one. I made up a sort of lucky dip for our sewing group with bits and bobs from it. It was fun.
We had a jam one last year. 24 flavours to sample. I know they re extravagant but they are enjoyable.

An advent calendar is something that I can do without but it is nice to have something to open every day in the dark season, especially when living alone. I have had various e mails from companies, wool related, sewing related etc.

I fancied one I have had before, entirely hedonistic. It was £60, I had £10 off with the spin of a wheel and I had free postage. Liquorice from Denmark

My resolve was not very strong this year

I bought one last year and it was nice, cost a fair bit but was sewing related. Afterwards I appreciated that I only had a few things that I would use, the rest went to the charity shop

I have just ordered a calendar for this year, entirely different
