These stunning advent boxes are the perfect way to countdown to Christmas Day.

They can be bought out every year making them a sustainable, unique and truly personal alternative to the shop bought calendars that are thrown away once Christmas is over.

Made from cherry veneered wood, these measure 17.5cm in height and 17cm in width. The slot at the top measures 9x5cm.

The hand rotates from a central nut and bolt combination allowing you to easily count the December days down.

These can be personalised with a name/s and come in a wide choice of colours. There is lots of room on the reverse side of these to add a longer engraved message if required.

The snowflake arrow comes in a choice of red, gold or silver glitter acrylic, adding a little sparkle to the design!

I have tested these with both celebration and hero chocolates and 25 fit comfortably inside; one for every day. Why not add sweets instead or change it up with some non edible treats? There are lots of possibilities for these advent boxes!
