10 Must Have Unique Advent Calendars 2014

Spoil your loved ones with our Top 10 unique advent calendars in 2014 to outshine the rest and make those 24 days on the run up to Christmas that little bit more exciting!

As a child I remember the countdown to the 1st December being such an exciting time. The advent Calendars when I was little consisted of a pretty Christmas scene with doors to open each day displaying a picture of a Christmas image and if we were lucky a chocolate behind the windows. Advent calendars now amaze me from luxury chocolate calendars to lavish and unique calendars that are designed to pamper, indulge and surprise you every day through December until the big man arrives. Advent Calendars come in all shapes and sizes with price tags to match. I have found some of the most unique calendars to suit tots, teens and the big kids at heart.

Below we have added another 10 unique advent calendars for 2015, maybe you could check them out too!
