So these are two of this year's advent calendars, along with a Dairy Milk version 😋
The more traditional one came from Dobbies and I had high hopes for this, I love a traditional advent calendar with really nice pictures in it... Unfortunately this wasn't one of those and at £4.99 seemed to end up being a bad purchase.
This is Day 1 as you can see, the image BEHIND the window is an almost duplicate of the front image with minor changes. That's not very exciting at all. In fact most mornings I end up playing spot the difference between the front of the window and underneath.
Not in the same class as last year's calendar which was a lovely street scene with the Salvation Army playing in the square and lots of really lovely, traditional images behind each window. Last year's calendar came from Clinton Cards and quite possibly cost a similar amount. I am definitely not buying one of these from Dobbies next year and hopefully next year's shopping trips might be easier than the last two years of Covid-19 "wear a mask, get in, get out" types of shopping trips.
