A nice surprise - a homemade Advent calendar
Have you ever had one advent Calendar tinkered? Maybe you know the variant, which consists of nicely packed and filled matchboxes.
- A self-made calendar from purchased (or self-made) fabric bags - which are provided with numbers from one to twenty-four - is a nice idea. For example, you can attach the bags to a ribbon that you decorate with Christmas decorations.
- Unfortunately, there is rarely enough space in the small boxes - or the Christmas bags. The surprises are usually too big. Do it completely differently: First get - or do handicrafts - 24 small ones gifts. Wrap the surprises in pretty gift wrapping or gold paper and wrap a bow around it.
- Add numbers to the gifts. In the stationery shop you can get numbers to stick on. Get an overview of the size of the parcel. Now you can think about how you want to decoratively arrange the small gift packages.
- One possibility is to place the packages on a (small) Christmas tree. You can also decorate the tree with small Christmas pendants, glittering garlands or a colorful chain of lights.
- Is that too much "frills" for you? Then get yourself a nice - and large - Christmas plate. Place the beautifully wrapped gifts on top and finally spread a few sweets, various nuts or the like on the plate. It looks Christmassy and isn't too "cheesy" for men either.
