Promising review: "I don't want to ruin the contents because the advent calendar can be a nice surprise for the buyer and the recipient so you'll just have to trust me when I say that it's VERY good value. There's a great variety of toys inside, however it's not just a random assortment you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the choices, we 'did it' every day for the full calendar, adding the new toy of the day in, and using it along with the rest (there's nothing repeated in the pack, each day is something different and unique). This entire calendar fits two beautiful boxes (no pun intended) for A) someone with not many toys who wants to experiment and B) someone who has toys but wants something different. We have loads of toys, but each one here was unique and something we hadn't tried before. P.S. the toy for day 12 is absolute fire! Highly recommended!" āArinargo
