It’s the perfect excuse to give yourself a daily treat in the run up to Christmas: an advent calendar. We all love a good ol’ chocolate one, but let’s be honest it’s hard to resist opening all the windows and devouring the lot on 1st December! So we’ve been having a look at some other options and there are some fab ones out there this year. Get one for yourself, drop a hint to a loved one, or – if you’re feeling particularly filled with festive spirit already – get one as a gift for someone else.
Here’s our top 5 pick of awesome advent calendars for 2015:
