Items to put in Advent Calendar

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife

 

We have a gorgeous advent calendar that we have used for years.  As I mentioned yesterday, you can purchase or make you own.  In our advent calendar I place small inexpensive gifts, a lolly or note with an activity we will complete that day.  If the gift I want to give them is too big I write a note and place that in the drawer with a clue where it maybe hiding, it then becomes a treasure hunt….this is loads of fun. 

Remember to keep track of your purchases, using the Advent Calendar gift page in your The Organised Housewife Christmas Planner.
