10 Best Wooden Advent Calendars That You Can Use Year After Year

The anticipation of all the presents to come, the fabulous dinner and being surrounded by family and friends is wonderful and having an advent calendar to count down the days from the 1 December to 24 December only helps to make it all the more magical.
While there are always hundreds of pretty paper or chocolate filled advent calendars in the shops, it can be a lovely idea to buy a wooden advent calendar that can be filled with little toys or sweets and be used for years to come, making it a memorable part of your family Christmas.
