The older I get, the more I enjoy non-chocolate advent calendars. this year I have a paper picture advent calendar again, where you open a door and a pretty picture appears behind it. This year it's a reprint from the 50s, but I also have one with Victorian illustrations. My favourite is definitely the National Trust one, but the one from Coppenrath - I've never seen anything like it! It's gorgeous!
I've not had a chocolate one - I have advent calendars from my childhood and I collect them. They are just magical! And it is lovely that some of the German companies are reprinting old ones. But have managed to find my Mum a 1940s advent calendar for this year. She never had them as a child - the war and after effects and they were expensive!
We always used the same Advent calendar growing up. It was cloth and had little pockets my mom would put things in every year. We loved it! I had never heard of the single use ones with chocolates until I went to college. Definitely seemed less fun! (I also don't like chocolate)
Mine was like this! It had little pockets with velcro on the front so I could decorate them with the corresponding number or a tiny cloth figure like a candy cane or a christmas hat and then inside the pockets my mum would put a treat every day
We had one my grandmother had sewn in the shape of a wreath and we used little straight pins to pin Christmas characters like Santa and shapes onto it every year. I loved it
That sounds so charming. I have one very old memory of the only time i met my Great Grandmother. We went there when i was a child for the week of Christmas and she had these little hand crocheted bird ornaments for the tree and you'd press on them and they'd open their mouths and have a treat inside. She let us open one each day. Even now I'm not sure how she got the mouth's stiff enough to do that. Maybe some kind of mesh under the crochet. To little me, it was magical!
We used a broad ribbon that had rings attached to it to which you could attach small, wrapped packages. Actually, my mother enjoyed it when she was a child. Preparing it means that someone has quite a lot of work but the structure is timeless as it can be reused time and again.
That gramophone was the best one! I hope making this video lifted Jessica’s spirits. I love advent calendars that have a little gift each day, but my all time favorite is the one from my childhood. It was a vintage reusable cardboard/paper one that had little flaps you would open to see a picture of a little scene. Nothing fancy, but my brother and I would fight over who would open the window that day. We would sit and look at the scenes and make up little stories. Such warm memories. ❤🎄
Here at home we still have a calendar from 1956, but part of it was cut and only goes until September, my grandmother hates it when we tell her she should throw it in the trash, joking that that calendar is a family heirloom since it is older than her 😂
The gramophone, and the book--because they are not destroyed to enjoy them, so even if they're not made out of the most durable of materials and what not, they're already more sustainable than anything that is one use only. (Thank you for the joy)
I adore the joy on your face when the gramophone started playing! That one is definitely my favourite too!! I have a nightmare before Christmas advent calendar which I love, it has a pop up tree and each door has a decoration to hang on it, of a character from the film. And there's a booklet that gives a little bio for each one! I love it because it's infinitely reusable and so pretty, it's part of the Christmas decorations.
Personally I collect vintage/vintage-style paper advent calendars! I just love the artwork and some of them are really creative with where they put the different doors. The best ones are where the doors are blended into the image like windows and doors on buildings instead of just evenly spaced squares. I even have some that have pop-up elements and are adorable little villages! Advent calendars haven’t been very popular in the US (except for the recent ones with stuff in them) and they were difficult to find when I was younger but we had a local store that got in vintage style german ones every year which is how I started collecting. And when I visited England in December of 2019 I was so excited about all the paper advent calendars and brought a bunch home!
I've got the Diamine Inkvent one again this year; get 24 little (12ml) bottles of fountain pen ink, and one bigger (30ml) bottle, most in funky colours, often with added glitter!
As someone allergic to fragrances (topically and inhaled) and with sensitive skin, the very common gift items of hand lotions and soaps are always something I need to figure out how to get rid of. Gift sets are just not for me and they pop up so often 😅 the gramophone is by far the best!
Thank you for also opening up calendars that are more affordable. I feel like I see so many videos of influencers opening up 180 to 1000 dollar calendars and it is just not relatable 😅
About the Lindt one, I live in Switzerland and I was quite surprised to see that one in the video, because as you said, it’s really just like an average cheap kids calendar. It’s one of those advent calendars that you just buy at the local supermarket if you want some chocolate everyday. I’d honestly rather just buy some chocolate and eat some every day for 24 days, but it’s great that Claudia likes it!
Normally I'm a no Christmas until after Thanksgiving girl, but as you said things have been rough. So i welcome all the whimsy you can give us. Even started some sparkly Christmas nails today, because i wanted to make something pretty, and had already made my Thanksgiving/Autumn Harvest ones.
Opening your flaps and pulling out a whole scene describes motherhood quite accurately 😂... loved this video, I'm always on the hunt for calendars for my son maybe this year I'll actually buy one for myself too!
My childhood advent calendar was a vintage looking artwork with houses and so on that you had to find the number on and open to see little paintings behind them. I used it evry year and I loved it so much. On the 24th you opened it up in the middle to see a full painting behind the two sides. Genuinely loved it, it was so much more fun for my child brain than cardboard chocolate.
Thank you for this! As an American, I’m in desperate need of something life affirming, and this was perfect, I can just wish myself away to a magical Christmasland for at least a short while.
For many years ive had lego and playmobile calendars as you get to build a scene over the month. This year ive branched out and gone for an escape room esq one. 24 puzzles to solve a story.
Every year for 3 years now, I buy a crochet pattern advent calendar. Every day they send you a new small pattern that works wonderfully as a Christmas ornament or tiny gift, which is just genius. The daily serotonin of finding out the day's Little Guy is... unmatched.
These calendars all look lovely, but the grammophone is definitely the winner! When I grew up my brother and I each had a fabric calendar with 24 bags sewn onto it, and my mother would fill it with random candy and toys a few days at a time so we couldn't cheat and open it all at once. 😅
Because of this video, I ordered an advent calendar to get into a festive mood. I'm diabetic but it won't stop me eating a tiny piece of chocolate every day for a month
Thank you for the fluffy Christmas video, I’ve already listened to it like 6 times. More. Need more. More lighthearted holiday videos please and thank you!! It’s so helpful right now 🎄💖✨🎁
I honestly don't know what I'm doing for Christmas but I'm counting on seeing my nieces. So my nieces will be the best part of my Christmas, since we'll be staying at my mom's house. That pull out Christmas book will be fun to play I spot with my nieces! I already know it! I also love the grammaphone as a gift for me. I love music.
My husband and I are going out of town for the last 2 weeks of December for the holidays, then hes getting deployed in January, then I'm moving across the country to my parent's home in February. So we're already packing and not decorating this year. We're typically "aren't decorating until after Thanksgiving" people, but with everything going on we're celebrating Christmas really early too. I made Christmas cookies the first week of November, we're listening to holiday music and watching Christmas movies, we wrapped presents this past week, I'm wearing Christmas sweaters already. I really need this (':
We have a "Night Before Christmas" book similar to that National Trust one, and it's *pristine* despite having been much loved for about fifteen years straight. A really good investment. Coveting that Cath Kidston right up to the point when you got the gramophone out...!!!
Ooh yay! Mine just arrived in the post yesterday! Its only the second time Ive ever had one, I found an organic vegan one that makes me happy.. they're just little, and the packaging is all recyclable, so Im happy! Its one little thing I can do to make this year cheerful for me, and Im glad you are too ❤ i love your vlogmasses, theyve seen me through some really dark circumstances so thank you! ❤ Bless
The advent calendar I use every year is a wooden Christmas tree (made by sliding two pieces together) where there are 24 hooks for ornaments. The ornaments are all in a (surprisingly very heavy and sturdy) wooden container which has double doors and adorable paintings and you put an ornament on for every day. I have been using it since I was a child and it is so special to me
I absolutely loved Coppenrath (the last company with the record calendar) stuff as a kid!! They're one of the biggest toy/present companies in Germany and have a lot of nice things. I actually just finished a Christmas diamond painting thing of theirs 😂
I feel like you would have loved the Nutcracker advent calendar I grew up with. It looked like a theatre with the cover on, then you open it like a book and then it's lots of little books that you can hang on your tree and each is another bit of the story. I always remember the biggest was the 20th and it was in the middle and it was the SugarPlum Fairy
*CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS* 🎁⛄🌲🎄❄️🎅🤶🦌 .... I, too, am counteracting the general world ick by force kickstarting the festive spirit 🥰 although I am very much a "Christmas starts on November 1st" person!
As an American thank you for just talking about advent calendars 😭 I’m so stressed Edited to add: Has Claudia tried the oatmilk Lindt truffles??? I was so happy when they came out
The last one is spectacular! And the fact that I can use it every year after buying it is superb! 🤩 Calendars that are very beautiful but can't be reused make me sad and I refuse to buy them. 🙄 For example the “dollhouse” one, seeing it being thrown away made me sad. 😔 Maybe I'm weird for feeling like this. 😅
Great to see you again! 🌞 The only calendar I would like to have out of these is the Nationel trust one, it's both beautiful and usable 😍 The others are not my cup of tea, I rather buy the (few) items I need when I need them...
I think I like the mini record player the best! I can’t eat chocolate and those other pretty much gave the same thing throughout! With an advent calendar I want something different each day! These companies need to think outside the box! 🤣 Pun intended! Thanks for buying and sharing them! New subbie here! I love that you love vintage! Maybe you were born back and here now to everyone what it was like! I hope that didn’t offend you! That vision just popped into my head! 🙋🏼♀️🇺🇸📅🗽🙏🏼
I love the Jacqui Lawson advent calendars (you may know her digital e-cards). They bring me joy every year 🥰 This year's theme is Paris, last year's was Edwardian Christmas ❤️🎄
last year my aunt sent me a cool one which had chocolate and a VR interactive scan thing. You'd scan the calender and get a short little christmassy video it was rather cute
The book reminds me of the Jostein Gaarder Advent calendar story The Christmas Mystery. Also a good one, and maybe Rupert would like it. Apart from time travel, it features the actual Christmas Carol, but can work for atheists (or Quakers?) as well.
Is it weird that I reuse the same non-candy just nice paper advent calendar I got from Germany every year? I like the one I have (a 16th century half-timbered house with little pictures of antique Christmas ornaments in the windows) so I don’t see the need for a new one. Plus the regular paper ones pack completely flat so it fits in my Christmas decor box very easily.
I forgot that you got a puppy! I feel bad that I can’t remember their name 🥲 Can someone kindly remind me? I’ve been staying off social media recently so not up to date with Instagram etc! That aside, lovely and cheery video! Very much needed rn 😭
Jess has fully descended into 'chaotic good'. Opening advent calenders all at once? Pfft! Bah! I too wish I could time travel but get a hold of yourself!

My spouse let me decorate early because the world is burning as well. Love this set.
So many people are decorating now. It’s nice. ❤
@jennifers5560 yeah it is nice to see.
I wonder if Xmas will be huge cause we’ll just keep building, or a let down cause we peaked too early.
@ I hope the huge option!
"Ruru, can you bring me a table knife?" You know it's hard to open when you gotta ask the baby for a knife!! 😂😂

I grew up with a fabric advent calendar where you’d stick animals onto a Christmas tree scene, one animal per day until the whole thing was full.
I love this because I have been using advent calendar unboxing/review videos to distract me from the state of the world! ❤💚
We always used the same Advent calendar growing up. It was cloth and had little pockets my mom would put things in every year. We loved it! I had never heard of the single use ones with chocolates until I went to college. Definitely seemed less fun! (I also don't like chocolate)

I had gotten the William Morris advent years ago and cut the inside out to use as a memory box full of letters and things
I adore the joy on your face when the gramophone started playing! That one is definitely my favourite too!!

Omg dreamy! Ive never heard of something like that before!!!! 🤯😍🤩
Ooh I need that in my life!!! Thank you!
The william morris one hit me right in the design
The Morris box - cut the inside walls out and use it for storing something. I really like it.
As someone allergic to fragrances (topically and inhaled) and with sensitive skin, the very common gift items of hand lotions and soaps are always something I need to figure out how to get rid of. Gift sets are just not for me and they pop up so often 😅 the gramophone is by far the best!
You might be able to donate them to a homeless shelter
@ that’s a great idea

Absolutely the gramophone! So lovely!

Rupert is SUCH a sweetheart, what a good lad. I love the National Trust one the best, I may get that for a few children in my life! :3
This brought me a lot of joy! Happy Holidays! 🎄
The gramophone was a very cool surprise! Thank you for the delightful 17 minutes of entertainment! I’m really looking forward to vlogmas!
This is absolutely delightful.
I'm more into making advent callenders than opening them, but I loved every minute.
We are so glad to have you back ❤
You are great.😁

I wasn't expecting the gramophone but it filled me with so much joy!!☺
-The good, the bad and the nostalgic! Love that!
Thank you for the festive spirit, we needed it!❤
Thank you for posting something light. I’m an American and having a rough week too. Ugh
I needed this ❤ hang in there!
❤
Thank you for this! As an American, I’m in desperate need of something life affirming, and this was perfect, I can just wish myself away to a magical Christmasland for at least a short while.
Awe, I love the book and the gramophone! 😍😍😍 Both can be used over and over again. Thank you for sharing these with us 💖
yay thanks for the joy!❤
i am indeed excited about vlogmas! i love the gramophone!!!!!
For many years ive had lego and playmobile calendars as you get to build a scene over the month. This year ive branched out and gone for an escape room esq one. 24 puzzles to solve a story.
I'm pretty allergic to Christmas, but somehow your Christmas themed videos bring me joy :)
Your channel makes me so happy!

That little music box is so cool!
Opening flaps is always a joy.
I'm SO here for this little "record player"!! ❤
What a fun video! ❤ I like the National Trust book the best and that gramophone is so cool! 😊
Thank you for the fluffy Christmas video, I’ve already listened to it like 6 times. More. Need more. More lighthearted holiday videos please and thank you!! It’s so helpful right now 🎄💖✨🎁

I bet Rupert loved the National Trust book. That looked amazing! 😊
The William Morris calendar is on sale for £28 on Amazon right now.
The gramophone is so good!
The gramophone!!!❤

Vlogmas is a bright spot during the season.
I relate to the beginning of this video so much. If any year were a good year to decorate for the holidays early, it sure is this one!
My favourite is hands-down the last one. 😊 ❤️
That book advent calendar is so cute ❤
Wow that gramophone one is amazing

.... I, too, am counteracting the general world ick by force kickstarting the festive spirit 🥰 although I am very much a "Christmas starts on November 1st" person!
Fun! ✨🎄
As an American thank you for just talking about advent calendars 😭 I’m so stressed
Edited to add: Has Claudia tried the oatmilk Lindt truffles??? I was so happy when they came out
❤
I think my fav calendar is the william morris one. But it's probably because i'm a huge fan of the art and craft movement 😅😅😅
Exactly what I needed today 😊. Thank you!
The unexpected British "I, Spot" instead of "I, Spy" was extremely charming!
The last one is spectacular! And the fact that I can use it every year after buying it is superb! 🤩
Calendars that are very beautiful but can't be reused make me sad and I refuse to buy them. 🙄 For example the “dollhouse” one, seeing it being thrown away made me sad. 😔 Maybe I'm weird for feeling like this. 😅
I really don't like xmas, but this video was still fun to watch!
My favorite advent calendar has been the one from Adagio Tea.
William Morris and Gramophone
Great to see you again! 🌞
The only calendar I would like to have out of these is the Nationel trust one, it's both beautiful and usable 😍
The others are not my cup of tea, I rather buy the (few) items I need when I need them...
They look like so much fun. The doors definitely need to be easier to open.
I think I like the mini record player the best! I can’t eat chocolate and those other pretty much gave the same thing throughout! With an advent calendar I want something different each day!

I hope that your headache has ended and the fog has lifted. ❤ from the 🇺🇸
I love the Jacqui Lawson advent calendars (you may know her digital e-cards). They bring me joy every year 🥰 This year's theme is Paris, last year's was Edwardian Christmas ❤️🎄
Hello Jessica! Is there any chance you could tell us where your dress is from? It's lovely!❤🎀
🎼 I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🎄🎁🎅🎉
last year my aunt sent me a cool one which had chocolate and a VR interactive scan thing. You'd scan the calender and get a short little christmassy video it was rather cute
lovely video! who are the pups who appeared in the background? would love to meet them if they are new family members!
The book reminds me of the Jostein Gaarder Advent calendar story The Christmas Mystery. Also a good one, and maybe Rupert would like it. Apart from time travel, it features the actual Christmas Carol, but can work for atheists (or Quakers?) as well.
Lindt chocolate recently was taken to court for having heavy metals like lead in their products so please be careful!!
Is it weird that I reuse the same non-candy just nice paper advent calendar I got from Germany every year? I like the one I have (a 16th century half-timbered house with little pictures of antique Christmas ornaments in the windows) so I don’t see the need for a new one. Plus the regular paper ones pack completely flat so it fits in my Christmas decor box very easily.
So i guess we are doing asmr now ❤
Really enjoyed video
I forgot that you got a puppy! I feel bad that I can’t remember their name 🥲 Can someone kindly remind me? I’ve been staying off social media recently so not up to date with Instagram etc!
That aside, lovely and cheery video! Very much needed rn 😭
Bertie 🐕💖 Rupert chose it!
Fun video! I went Christmas shopping the day after the election myself.
Yes the grammarphone.
Love this video! I can’t find the Cath Kidson calendar though and I don’t see it on your link
I love just a simple chocolate advent calendar but I want it to be all dark chocolate and never see them
Jess has fully descended into 'chaotic good'.
Opening advent calenders all at once? Pfft! Bah! I too wish I could time travel but get a hold of yourself!
New puppy?!?❤❤❤
When Rupert said, "look, a ballerina!" my uterus skipped a beat.
Leaving a comment for the algorithm
Advent calendars are a regional thing in the US. You won't usually find them outside Catholic, or its close offshoots , homes and populations.
Who's the new dog?
Bertie!
