Looking for Advent calendars
November 25th, 2009 at 9:15In my family each year we do the whole Advent calendar thing in the lead up to Christmas. Sometimes we also have an Advent candle (See Advent, how to make a candle – Maggi Dawn) and occasionally use a resource like this one.
But New Zealand really doesn’t do Advent calendars. I have a couple that I’ve come across over the years and bought, but after a few years of use each they begin to wear out (doors get ripped, won’t stay shut etc.). The standard Advent calendar here seems to feature a Disney Channel ‘star’ and chocolate behind the doors. Not where I want to go.
So, does anyone know of a good place to buy one in the Auckland region?

i just bought an advent calendar for my niece, it’s a wooden version of the nativity and each piece is numbered 1-25, with the final piece being the baby jesus.
i’d point you in the right direction, it’s fair trade, bought from oxfam, but they don’t have it on their website.
that being said, they do have this one on their site: http://www.oxfamshop.org.au/products/3123499/331521
