What's better than average storage container? Teeny storage containers filled with gifts that you open each day!
If you plan on making a non-store-bought advent calendar for your kiddies (or special someone), it's time to get moving. Here are some innovative and crafty approaches.
THE HIPSTER
Vintage printer drawer, crafty number cut-outs + Hershey Kisses
THE MATCHBOOK
Teeny matchbooks wrapped in anything pretty, perfect for gelt
THE CABINETMAKER
For people who know how to make things out of wood - properly
THE POUCH-ER
Tiny mulsin sacks with gingham ribbon.
THE BOOK-STER
My favourite! perfect for the bookworm in your life.
THE SIMPLE SLEEVE
Craft-paper envelopes (which i would fill with stickers if i was giving this to my 7 year old self)
THE LETTER
So many options here : lottery tickets, cash, gift certificates, or ideally, declarations of love
THE REUSER
Baby food containers + BlackBoardPaint + decorative wrappings
THE TREE
Wee gifts wrapped and hung... would definitely up the charm factor if these were real branches
