There’s not a subject in the world that hasn’t been exploited for the sake of an Advent calendar. We tried to fob off pointless or plain weird calendars on each other. See how we did in the video. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate».
Advent calendars are a great opportunity to flog all sorts of junk and shelf warmers to customers in the guise of Christmas. Do these guerilla tactics actually work? Our range says yes. It features a staggering 1,800 Advent calendars. From crimes covering A for Amorana to Z for ZEIT, you’ll find just about any kind of tack and junk designed to fuel the hype before Christmas.
Valentina, Lorenz and I tried to foist the most rubbish items on the team consisting of Darina, Katja, Patrick and Ramon in a kind of blind test.
As expected, they weren’t exactly jumping for joy.
In case you were wondering why Luca’s mentioned without actually being in the video: he organised the wrapping paper. Thank you Luca!

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
