Autumn seems to have only just begun, yet we're already busy preparing for Christmas. It starts in less than four weeks, and anyone wanting to make an Advent calendar can't start too early ;)
That's why we've put together some tips and ideas for your homemade (or self-filled) advent calendar.
The Advent calendar
If you'd like to make your own advent calendar, you can use many sustainable materials. Many of these materials might already be in your cupboard at home and can easily be upcycled:
- Matchbox
- Empty toilet paper rolls
- Sandwich bags
- Shoe boxes
- Basket of organic vegetables
- Newspaper bags
- Potato sack
- Fabric scraps
You can sew these materials into little bags, decorate them and stack them to create your very own reusable advent calendar.
And if you'd rather not do any crafting, you can also order our sustainable, reusable advent calendar made from European linen.
A little tip: Outside of the Christmas season, you can use it to store all sorts of small items like socks, knick-knacks, slippers, toys, craft materials, and much more in the cupboard or storage room.
A thousand and one sustainable ideas
So actually only a little over 100, but it's more than enough for the 24 doors ;)
We have put together a large selection of meaningful and sustainable products from our shop to sweeten the Advent season for your loved ones.
Here you'll find all sorts of little things .
And of course, we have even more ideas for you, which you can find in your local zero-waste shop, supermarket or Christmas market, or make yourself:
- Gingerbread
- (Homemade) granola bars
- Bliss Balls (Caution: Shelf life)
- Small toys
- A larger toy spread over several days
- Puzzle
- Chewing gum
- Lollipops or pastilles
- Hair clips
- Poems or short stories
- (Key) pendant
- Crystals
- Little notes with mantras or kind words
We wish you a wonderful (pre-)Christmas season!
