Look, this is a real nice idea for your very own homemade Advent Calendar! And so easy, too. An Advent Calendar traditionally kicks off at december 1st, but for us Dutchies that might be a little early, since we have a big thing going on at december 5th: Sinterklaas!

So our tip: make an Advent Calendar that starts at december 6th, counting down till december 24th. With this idea, that I spotted at Better Homes and Gardens, here, you can do it in a very stylish yet simple way. Just wrap up a bunch of small gifts in this Starry Winter Wrapping Paper and put a Starry Winter Gift Tag on each one of them. Write the numbers of the days on the tags and arrange all of that nicely on an etagere or a cute fruitbowl. Or hang them in the Christmas Tree!
PS: The gifts don’t need to be fancy at all. Just you know, cute candy or a perfect apple wrapped up nicely in a handkerchief, maybe a pair of the warmest socks you can find or some nice ornaments for the tree. Or consider buying a kerststalletje and wrap up every figure separetely!

Ik ben een uur zoet geweest met de Better Homes and Gardens website. Kun je dat blad ook in Nederland kopen?
GEWELDIG he? Echt boordevol alleen maar leuke dingen (alhoewel er toch ook wel een aantal tuttigheidjes tussen zitten… Ben je al wel eens bij Martha geweest? Dat is ook al zo’n feest!
