September seems too early for me to be thinking about Advent calendars, but I had made a note to myself last year, based on a recommendation on this site, to look for a Bonne Maman® Advent Calendar (jams and jellies) in September, as they usually sell out. (They are currently in stock, if you are interested.)
There are so many different kinds of Advent calendars available that appeal to all ages and interests. Calendars range from the usual $2 chocolate ones from places like Trader Joe's, to Costco's wine and beer Advent calendars, and then the toy-filled ones from places like Lego. I used to buy the Playmobil Advent calendars every year for my kids when they were younger. I still buy all of my kids, even the adult ones, a chocolate calendar every holiday season.
Does your family enjoy advent calendars? Do you look for any unique ones or fill your own? Any suggestions for specialty ones that I should keep my eye out for? I know a lot of the best ones sell out long before the holiday season arrives.
