Is It Too Early To Mention The C-Word?

That's Christmas by the way, and specifically advent calendars

Look away now if you don’t want to know but it is just eight weeks until Christmas!

Eep! I know! But if you are a bookseller then you need to get organised. Regular readers will be interested to know that I put an offer in on a place to host a pop-up until Christmas yesterday - wouldn’t it be fun to get going again? After all, it was this time last year that I was days away from opening my pop-up shop at The Bloom Foundry.

You’ll be the first to know if I hear anything, of course.

Anyway, turning our attention to Christmas, and some of you might like to get prepared by taking a look at these gorgeous bookish advent calendars I’ve found for you. There is something for every age, including adults – why should kids have all the fun?

First up, one for the really little ones, it’s Disney’s My First Stories Advent Calendar. Click HERE to buy.

Next up, it’s a classic for toddlers and pre-schoolers, it’s The Gruffalo and Friends Advent Calendar Book Collection. Click HERE to buy.

For primary school kids, we have a couple of crackers, the Bluey: Awesome Advent Book Bundle. Click HERE to buy.

And I also have Tom Gates Totally Brilliant Advent Calendar. Click HERE to buy.

And a special poetry one for children or teenagers (or indeed adults, why not?), it’s ‘Tis The Season - a lift-the-flap advent calendar of poems compiled by The National Trust. Click HERE to buy.

For older kids or any Harry Potter fan, there is the Official Advent Calendar’s Harry Potter featuring mini books, stickers and much more. Click HERE to buy.

Why should teenagers miss out, or indeed any bigger babies you have in your household. (*coughs* husbands). Here is a brilliant build your own Pinball Machine Advent Calendar that the whole household can play come Christmas Eve. Click HERE to buy.

And for the adults, how about Kew Garden’s nature inspired Welcome to the Museum Christmas Pop-Up Advent Calendar. Click HERE to buy.

I think you’ll agree there is something for everyone here, and some you can reuse again year after year. Though hurry, these advent calendars tend to sell out fast so bag yours while you can!
