A bit early?
Never
Last year I bought a beer advent calendar from Beer Hawk and it was great! Will definitely be doing again this year, or some other beer advent calendar.
Does anyone else have a specific advent calendar in mind (chocolate, beer, or whatever)?

Why can’t it be affordable
JD advent calendar is ÂŁ60 in Asda.
I love the look of this one, just not the price!
These are now extremely limited and collectable, Whiskies never to be bottled again! Why open the doors of an advent calendar each day in December to reveal just a chocolate, or even a picture, when you could be receiving a miniature of scotch...
Price: GBP 850.00

Rather than hijack this thread I have started a new one for whiskey. Sorry for taking over @o99 !
Hi all,
Rather than hijack the advent calendar thread (sorry @o99 !). I thought I’d start a new thread.
What whiskies do people love, and what’s the best budget one you have ever had?
My favourite has to be Aldi’s home brand Solo Clubhouse Whisky, it was a beautiful bottle which I still use as a decanter due to its cork stopper.

I recently bought Grant’s Triple Wood Blend Scotch Whisky which has a lovely vanilla taste in the mouth and a slight raisin after taste. I picked it up for…

This bad boy from Aldi had 24 bottles of wine (airplane-sized bottles) which went down a treat last year
Hopefully they’ll do the same this year

It’s never too early for Christmas in my opinion
John Lewis seems to have a tea advent calendar which I’m pretty interested in to be honest (ex-tea shop employee and avid tea drinker ).
It’s got a “Christmas Cookie” flavoured tea and I NEED to try it!

I’ve pre-ordered one with individual soy based wax melts behind each window. I love festive scents leading up to Christmas.
I’ve also got my eye on the Nomo chocolate one that’s just launched at Holland and Barrett. Their chocolate is incredible, I’d definitely recommend to anyone who’s vegan or just dairy free.

I thought the Moo Free advent calendar last year was cool, but I’ve just checked out the one you’ve mentioned and WOW! Think I might have to get that one this year

The lights were a DIY festive add-on. Strangely, it got more attention than the tree!
