BEST 2022 ADVENT CALENDARS YOU CAN BUY IN THE UK
Posted on 13/09/21
If you already use Advent Calendars, then that's great! But if you are wondering what the fuss is all about, then here the are information.
Gerhard Lang is widely considered the producer of the first printed Advent Calendar in the early 1900s.
Around the same time, a German newspaper included an Advent Calendar insert as a gift to its readers. Lang’s calendar was inspired by one that his mother had made for him and featured 24 coloured pictures that attached to a piece of cardboard. Lang modified his calendars to include the little doors that are a staple of most Advent Calendars today and they became a commercial success in Germany. Production stopped due to a cardboard shortage during World War II, but resumed soon after, with Richard Sellmer emerging as the leading producer of commercial Advent Calendars.
Advent Calendars are now very popular all across the world and now come in thousands of different varieties, some with just pictures in, others with just chocolate, toys, miniature make up and even legos. Here is a list of all the different types of Advent Calendars to suit your budget and where to buy them. Just choose what you want and ForwardVia will do the rest for you.
