Such a beautiful calendar! I have never done a reusable advent calendar but I love putting stockings together so I'm sure it's like that. You and Matt could take evens or odds and fill them with goodies, chocolates, pins, jewelry, chapstick, paper numbers that coordinate to presents under the tree...and then you each open one every other day. I just love advent season ❤ thanks for making this one so special 😊
Me too!!! I love doing stockings because there are so many ways you can go about it, ya know? I was thinking pins in the future but at first I thought the doors too small but then I remembered a) that that's what the gifts are for and the advent is that small extra treat and b) there are a lot of things that fit in there. Awww, thank you so much for watching and your love, always. 🥰
I would put little slips of paper in each day and have them be a coupon or ticket for a special activity to do that day or redeemed at a later date. Bake cookies, make an ornament, sing carols, etc.
I really like this trunk calendar! I do agree with some other comments that the lights are a bit off, but even without the lights on, I think it's great! ❤ You could even put another layer of vellum paper with star holes to make the sky more opaque and cover the light/wires from being seen. SO MUCH POTENTIAL! And it's better for the environment to have it be reusable. I would have bought it, too. 😊
Awww, thank you so much for being such a support every day, Alex. I can say, we have more comin' at ya every day for the rest of November, just not advent calendars. 😃
This was outstanding I absolutely love this calendar . I definitely may have to put this on my wish list . Thank you for sharing and I agree a clicker would have been awesome to turn it in and off ❤
I'll let you know if I see it again. Because, for some reason, after we ordered it we can't find it sold online anywhere. I think it might be in the shop. I definitely plan, in the future, to change the lights for remote operated ones and I think that will be an easy swap.
Final day?! You know you wanna go all the way through November lol. Have thoroughly enjoyed this series😊 The trunk is beautiful, as well as the inside. It'd be so sweet to for you and your husband to surprise eachother with like a piece of unexpected jewelry when you're thinking there is just a candy in it and you could do the same with something for the hubs
We may or may not have more comin' at ya the rest of November (just not advent calendars). 😉😉 I've thought of doing a surprise approach. Actually now I'm thinking pins would fit in there perfectly too! Oooo that's an idea. 😃
I have loved this season and I’m wondering what I’m going to do with myself now 😂😂 This is without a doubt my favourite of all the advents I’ve ever seen for HP. I love it 🤩🤩🤩
Haha! Well, I got ya covered. We'll be having a video for the rest of November (just not advent calendars). 😃 Because we're a bit nutso. 🤣 And, though less, quite a bit in December. It's one of my tops as well!
This was really pretty. Definitely good to know the sizing of the slots to think of future items to add. Thinking sweets the size of Hershey kisses or something could be good. You could even do a mixture of sweets and little toys/tiny decor items in the slots. Ooo, even try to wrap each one before putting them in the slots to keep the surprise alive! Another great calendar! ✨
Hi Witchy Pal! I bet you ask about those straps before ordering! 😊 The lights are wonderful along with the backgrounds! A set of earings or charm would fit very nicely! Thanks for all the advent fun!
I don't like that the lights are so very viewable... 4 lights in the sky thing. If I bought that, I would buy 2 remote light battery packs with color change lights and put them in there. I wouldn't place them the way they did cuz they are too visible. You could just have the lights laying behind the cutouts. Having the color change means it can look like night or day or even aurora borealis like.
Ya know, at first I thought the same. But then I realized, that's what the gifts are for, to be that more special (and potentially larger), well, gift. Advent calendars are that small treat leading up to Christmas. I think it perfect!
But, as a follow up, yes, I paid $50 for a gorgeous calendar that I get to use in a new tradition every year. Reusable calendars aren't as common in the states, but they are in other countries and I'm excited to get use out of every year.

Not a bad idea indeed! And maybe whatever coupon is pulled is what is done that day could be fun. 😊

I totally agree on so much potential! I plan to do different string lights with a remote and more customization. ❤️❤️❤️
This has been such a fun series! I'm a bit sad that it's over, but I look forward to what's to come!
Awww, thank you so much for being such a support every day, Alex.

@LoveLumos Yayyyyy!! 🎉✨

Greetings to ya, Mieke! 👋😃

Pretty cute! Love the concept of reusing the calendar, wish it would have already come with stuff inside and next year you could fill it yourself.
I thought it's quite cute too! Can't wait to use it every year. 😊🎄
I have loved this season and I’m wondering what I’m going to do with myself now 😂😂

Ooooo that hershey's kiss idea is a great one! I actually just came across some vegan versions of those. I might order those now!
You could put little mineral stones in each slot
Ooooo that's a great idea!
Final day already! That felt so quick! 😝
Hehe ..... buuuuut, we might just have more content comin' at ya the rest of November. 😉😉
Gorgeous, i have the primark trunk, its simular. I loved advent season ❤❤❤
OOooo I'd love to see what that one looks like!
@ ill make some pictures for discord. Yours is more funtional. 😋
Hi Witchy Pal! I bet you ask about those straps before ordering! 😊 The lights are wonderful along with the backgrounds! A set of earings or charm would fit very nicely! Thanks for all the advent fun!
Earrings would be a great idea! I think there's a lot of possibilities indeed. 😃
And do not fret, we have more comin' at ya this month. 😊
Good evening aubrey 😊❤
Good day to ya, Natalie (or night now 🌙)!
💖💖💖
♥️♥️♥️
A shame they didn't put LED between the layers!
Do you mean around the drawers?
Because the top, there isn't any other room for more lights, the way the wood is cut and attached.
I don't like that the lights are so very viewable... 4 lights in the sky thing. If I bought that, I would buy 2 remote light battery packs with color change lights and put them in there. I wouldn't place them the way they did cuz they are too visible. You could just have the lights laying behind the cutouts. Having the color change means it can look like night or day or even aurora borealis like.
I’m already planning to change out the lights in the future. 😊
I think the drawers are a bit small.
Ya know, at first I thought the same. But then I realized, that's what the gifts are for, to be that more special (and potentially larger), well, gift. Advent calendars are that small treat leading up to Christmas. I think it perfect!
I absolutely do not like this calendar this whole thing seems to me somewhat wrong but I do appreciate you showing you and explaining it
What is so wrong about it to you?
I think it's fantastic! Natural, accurate, classic, reusable. I can't wait to use it every year!
You paid $50 for an empty advent calendar?? 😂Not a chance
In the words of Filch, "Oh dear, we are in trouble." 🙃

@LoveLumos I see.. that makes sense 😊
