I just thought I\u2019d pop in with one of my new ‘news blogs’, which is my equivalent of a news flash, as if you haven\u2019t snapped up your advent calendar for this year yet, then time is definitely of the essence!<\/p>\n

You may remember that I mentioned some of the beauty advent calendars a couple of blogs ago, but we also have foodie ones all ready to go too.<\/p>\n

A chocolate advent is the obviously the most popular choice, but they are definitely not just for kids. This<\/a> is my favourite choice.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Firstly, we are talking Lindt<\/a><\/strong>, so stunningly delicious chocolate, plus you get two calendars for the price, which is amazing. They are so cute in the shape of bears too, so appealing and a fun way to portion control a little chocolate treat for the day too.<\/p>\n

This Jenny Wren<\/a><\/strong> calendar<\/a> and this Hotel Chocolat<\/a><\/strong> one<\/a> make up two other gorgeous sweet tooth offerings, both are rich chocolate duos with the whimsical element coming through with the Jenny Wren<\/a><\/strong> chocolate cubes, or the more sophisticated Hotel Chocolat<\/a><\/strong> milk and dark chocolate combinations.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

If you are looking for something savoury however, The Snaffling Pig<\/a><\/strong> Advent Calendar<\/a> is a gourmet treat. These pork scratchings are truly a taste sensation and in total the calendar contains 30 bags of mouth-watering tasty snacks in 6 incredible flavours that would make a great dinner party offering or unique gift maybe.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

But I have saved what I believe to be this year’s best advent calendar until last and I think this would be a superb gift to even start with in January too. It\u2019s the Best of British Beer Calendar<\/a>!<\/p>\n

A whooping 24 different bottles of beautifully crafted beer from all over Britain. The perfect gift for the beer drinker in your family, a great countdown to Christmas or the perfect way to see in the New Year!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
