They're very interesting and small enough for the kids to put them together during breakfast and still not be late for school on the days leading up to winter break. I recommend for kids 5 and up; adults are sure to enjoy it too!" —Patrick W.

Amazon

One of my fellow Christmas-obsessed friends just bought this for her toddler and is having a blast planning out what to put inside. To be honest, if you have little ones who are just starting to grasp the idea of "gifts," you could totally pop small items they already own in the drawers (shh, don't tell). 

If you're looking to add even more holiday magic into your kids' day-to-day, check out the fan favoriteStep2 My First Christmas Tree (which I caved and bought this year for my own toddler).

9. A countdown calendar from Tony's Chocolonely that most definitely isn't like the one your grandma used to buy you that was filled with treats that kind of tasted like chalk. The chocolate in this one is eons better!

Tony's Chocolonely is a small business on a mission to help end modern slavery and child labor in the chocolate industry. You can learn all about it on their website. I have this Advent calendar, and it is taking A LOT of restraint not to dive into it early.

Amazon

I am on day three, and so far, the pistachio macaroon is my favorite. Each taste is one of a kind, and does not mimic any of the other flavors in any way.

Promising review: "We purchased the Melissa & Doug wooden Advent Calendar for our toddlers to play with during the Christmas season, not to use as an Advent calendar. They love counting the numbers on the tree and love placing the magnetic ornaments. Terrific for practicing fine motor skills! The base of the tree has a nice space to store the ornaments. So far we’ve only misplaced the star! The tree and the pieces are sturdy but will fall apart if chewed on or dumped in the bathtub or chucked down a couple of flights of stairs, but with typical use it should last many Christmases! I just hope we find the star!" —B & A
