I’ve written my wooden advent calendar ideas for children, which has proved to be quite popular. So I have decided to write about what you might put in a wooden advent calendar for adults. Wooden advent calendars are a much better option than more commercial calendars as there is a lot less plastic waste. And I think plastic waste is something we all need to be aware of and look to consciously reduce. They are also a lovely tradition to get out year after year. But it does take time and effort to fill them and work out what you can put in the little drawers. So here are just a few ideas is you have a wooden advent calendar for an adult that you need to fill.
