What to look for
What can I give instead of a food advent calendar?
Candles, stationery and puzzles are thoughtful alternatives. Choose around the recipient’s hobbies and whether they enjoy a daily object or a daily activity.
Are the boxes reusable?
Some brands explicitly design their boxes with reusable drawers. Look for the reusable packaging filter and check the product notes for the maker’s description.
