Advent Calendar Ideas

One of my favorite traditions during the holidays is an Advent Calendar. It’s especially true now that we have kids – we actually open several different ones! I have a beautiful felt one I bought from Pottery Barn, I started buying the Starbucks Advent Calendar last year, I made my own two years ago AND we bought a (affiliate) Lego Advent Calendar this year. Yes, we are all about this fun holiday tradition.

I confess though, I still find myself searching Pinterest for Advent Calendar ideas, and it’s quite obvious, I am not along in my quest, because the results are so creative and adorable! Here are some of my favorites! If you’re looking for a fun DIY Advent Calendar, you will want to check out this great list!
