..start planning "It's only September, but Costco is already getting into the holiday "spirit.".... Traditionally, Advent calendars have been simple with fold-back flaps revealing treats such as chocolates, but over the years they have evolved to include options ranging from spirits to beauty items. If you miss out on Costco’s booze-filled calendars, Aldi may have you covered. In the past few years, the discount grocer has sold wine, cheese, beer and other calendars starting in November." www.usatoday.com/story/money/shopping/2021/09/12/costco-advent-calendar-2021-wine-and-beer-calendars/8280509002/ |

I just bought the Star Wars Lego Advent calendar from Costco. Buy it now because it won't be available when it's closer to Advent.  |

I need to get Lego ones for my kids. We usually do city and friends. Need to search them up. I saw the hp and others in the Costco ad this morning too.

I saw the beer one at Costco yesterday. I bought the wine one from Sam's for myself last year. They're fun. Oh and the giant doggie treat one from Sam's. They enjoyed that one.

Pokemon Funko Pops (mini) was purchased for my son from Amazon. It may not arrive until late Nov but we got in on a lower price, whew!
He had a Marvel one a few years ago that he would guess what it would be before he opened it. He was right for like a whole week I think it was!

Got my husband the Lego SW at Costco last week. Trying to find a Nightmare Before Christmas one for myself.
Will get the littles in my life the sock advent calendars as their parents cover the more traditional one. They love the sock ones though, little goof balls.

These sound really cute and I don't mean to be Debbie Downer, but I probably will be when I say that I remember when I was a kid and Advent meant removing one paper chain link a day, waiting for baby Jesus, and adding one piece of straw at a time to the manager as we did good deeds to prepare our hearts. Maybe we can all do a good deed plus drink the tea and wear the socks.

I don't usually have one. But if I did, it would be my own homemade version full of scrapbook goodies. A new paper, sheet of stickers, etc....every single day.  |

I just saw Nightmare Before Christmas the other day on Amazon.. I need to look around there, I saw one I liked but in the item description it said something like “don’t listen bad low quality items reviews. We will find them and punish.” Granted it made me laugh, but I also assume the quality was something like from Wish. |

My kids are grown + gone but *I* can still do it. Thanks for the reminder. |

I gave a couple of Bonne Maman calendars as gifts last year and they were well received. I used the David’s Tea calendar last year for myself, loved it, and just ordered this year’s version.

I bought that one last year from Tuesday Morning. It was much cheaper and made a great gift. |
