From puzzle fun and chocolate to tools and personal care: advent calendars can contain more than just sweets. I will show you a selection from our range: practical, playful, sweet, or sensual.
Would you like to shorten the wait for Christmas for yourself or others with an advent calendar? Then it is best to order now, while the selection is still large.
Toys
Puzzling, building, collecting, and trying things out: The toy calendars keep children and the young at heart equally occupied until Christmas Eve.
Puzzle fans should go for the Exit advent calendar from Kosmos, which tells an adventure story through 24 puzzles. Only the first door is labeled, because the solution to the previous day's puzzle is the only thing that will tell you where to go next. This year, the calendar is also available from us in French and Italian.
Things get detective-like in the "The Three Investigators" (Die drei ???) calendar as well. Justus, Peter, and Bob witness a jewelry theft at a theater premiere. Children aged eight and up solve a puzzle every day and get closer to solving the case piece by piece.
Do you want to give a gift to a Lego fan? The Star Wars calendar comes with 293 pieces, the Friends calendar with 211. Both are suitable for ages six and up.
Playmobil offers three different calendars. With Junior & Tinti, the bathtub becomes the sea: behind the doors are a boat, water animals, spray figures, and bath tablets that color the water.
Dino fans accompany an explorer on his expedition through the jungle. A Velociraptor, a Stygimoloch, and two mysterious dino eggs are waiting for him there. At the riding café, on the other hand, it's off to the kitchen: with the horse-shaped cookie cutter, you can bake the cookies from the set.
The GraviTrax "Slopes" calendar provides building blocks, action stones, and Christmas-themed marbles. According to the manufacturer, it works with or without a starter set. There is a junior version for children aged three and up.
Behind the 24 flaps of the Tiptoi calendar are small cardboard picture books with Christmas stories, songs, fairy tales, puzzles, and factual topics about animals and vehicles. However, the books can only be brought to life with a Tiptoi pen.
