I’m really tempted to get the Spellbinders one, but with limited funds, I’d rather buy a die set that I know that I’ll use, rather than a bunch of things that might just sit.

Has anyone tried the CraftStash one? It's very reasonably priced, not over-packaged, and mostly brands I've never heard of. I thought about looking them up, but then I thought, wouldn't this make for the ultimate surprise? And I like that it is a mix of brands....

I had fun with the Spellbinders one last year. I made a card or project every day and posted it here. I ordered the 2024 one first thing Tuesday and already received it today. Now to be patient until December 1st.

I can't wait to see what everyone makes from their advent calendar. I think a couple YouTube channels would post a new project everyday, so fun.
I am hoping I will be motivated in December to do a project everyday but December is such a busy month so we'll see.

PaperANDi has a video on YouTube opening all the windows on the 2024 Advent calendar if you want to see what’s in it. After watching it’s an easy pass for me. I bought the Stitchmas one last year and just pulled it out to make some cards for this year. Still debating if I want to get the 2024 version.

Easy pass for me too. Do you know of any unboxing video of the Stitchmas one? I searched but only found Yana's.

I saw the spoiler video and on easy pass for me too. I love some of the dies but not enough to get it. JM had a live and she showed maybe half of the stitching dies. I like them but I'm going to pass on that too. I love last year's better.

Everything in the Spellbinders one is SO TEENSY -- like "fun size" candies at Halloween! I didn't even make it all the way through the video. I've never done a crafty advent calendar before, but I ordered the CraftStash one.

Took a look at the Spellbinders video too. I'd already decided that I was going to try Taylored Expressions this year and I'm so glad I did. There was nothing in that calendar that I would have used, and I like last year's Stitchmas (which I did get) much better than what I've seen of this year's. I always like it when I feel like I've made the right decision!  |

I saw enough that I liked on the stitching one to buy it again this year. I think some will pair nicely with the ones from last year, too.

I don't know...I have no desire to peek, so I didn't look for one.
And given that the 25 gift boxes inside aren't really wrapped, just closed with a tab, peeking is now tempting in a whole new way....
Once we get to December, I can share here or in a dedicated thread, if Peas are interested in seeing.
