Advent
Today is December 1st! So, we put up our new advent calendar. FYI I purchased it last year for $5 at the Pottery Barn Outlet. We have been trying to teach our girls about the true meaning of Christmas and I thought the advent calendar could point to Christ's birth.
My question is, if you have an advent calendar, do you put a small gift in it every day? And what types of mini gifts do you use? I haven't been on "top of things" so the girls got Hershey Kisses. I'm looking for some good ideas!

Wow that is super cute! What a great find! We have a small one with windows to open but with no ability to fill it with treats. Chocolate seems good enough to me! =) Maybe those gold wrapped chocolate coins to represent the gold the wisemen brought for Jesus? Or maybe that could be the very last one...just thinking out loud here...
Hi Kim! I think you can do whatever you want - I remember small gifts like a piece of candy. It's been years since we've done an advent calendar. SO FUN (and meaningful!)
