I’m making my very first advent calendar for my kids this year…so happy I stumbled on yours! (thanks to the Link Within boxes!). I’m hoping to make the treat holders out of cones. I’m still working out the ‘tree’ part…I have some good clippings from the yard, but they have full on leaves and berries. Cross your fingers for me!

And like you, I’ll have two treats per box…identical of course!
xo, Cassie

This is awesome. Truly awesome.

I really, really, REALLY would love to do this — but it seems so late in the season now! If only I had found this sooner!!! Thanks for the inspirations!

So Kate, you really inspired me. I have been looking for a more substantial advent calendar than the one from Trader Joes with a chocolate per day. I loved your manzanita branch advent calendar. So, I was in Michaels looking for boxes to do something similar when I saw these cookie gift boxes by ‘Martha’ which were on sale. They are a brownish color with white print on them depicting ye olde worlde buildings–they look like little gingerbread houses. My boys are mad for gingerbread, so I bought several packets of these boxes and set up a little gingerbread town advent calendar tray (just slips off the tongue doesn’t it?). In anticipation of Dec. 1st, last night I put them on a large tray with some batting (ie snow) and set them up. Oh, and I used those red glitter numbers from Michaels as well. They look so cute. The boys are going to flip tomorrow night. Thanks for the inspiration!

What a great idea! I love it! :D I too will file this away until the day I have kiddos old enough to appreciate (or kiddos at all :P)
