That time of the year is coming folks. We get it, it gets stressful around the holidays. The crowds in the store, the preparation, deadlines, closing last quarter, wrapping gifts last-minute.
Does it have to be like this? It’s hard to maintain the magic of Christmas as adults. The merry gets replaced with duties pilling on. The shadow of responsibilities can take all the fun away.
How about treating your loved ones with a little surprise to ease their busy December days? That’s right, we’re talking Advent Calendar with little surprises to brighten each day and put a smile on their faces.

Do it yourself Christmas advent calendar
For an extra personal touch, you can actually assemble an advent calendar yourself. It sounds like a hassle, but with this ultimate guide, you’ll be done in minutes.
Choosing 24 little gifts seems excessive? Doesn’t have to be! You can get a few items and spread them throughout the entire December. With one, final gift for Christmas day.
No matter the amount, the surprise and the anticipation will brighten up each day as you and your loved ones prepare for the Holidays.
Gifts for the DIY advent calendar
Here is a long list of small items, perfectly sized for an advent calendar you can choose from when assembling your own.
These items come from various unique categories and will suit even the pickiest recipients.
But how do we decide which things to choose? It’s all about listening. There is a big chance your loved one, friend, or spouse mentioned to you something regarding things they like or need.
You’re not expected to remember all this of course! But perhaps going through the list will trigger memories and associate the item with the person you want to gift this year.
Not remembering anything like that doesn’t make this idea any less doable. That is the beauty of advent calendars – the best part is about repetitive anticipation, not the perfection of gifts.
Even getting a few silly items for your loved one will put them in a great mood – and yourself on the way! That means you think about them and want to give them some joy this Christmas.

Wrapping
All the nice, shiny things that’ll make your loved one smiling and giddy need a proper wrap. Be it a box, beautiful paper, or a nice shiny bow on top. Now, you can make them yourself, but who has the time?
The market is swirling with the most exceptional options for advent calendar wrappings. Every possible material, size, color, aesthetic, and smell is out there.
Let’s face it – wrapping is half the success of gift-giving. Especially advent calendars – your recipients will be watching the presents for days until they can open them.
Let’s go through the most unique options this year!
Gift boxes
Luxury
These boxes are definitely the Lamborghini of gift boxes. The set contains 5 luxury boxes in different sizes – just perfect for the variety of advent calendar gifts!
The boxes, as well as ribbons, are all black and of remarkable quality. If you know someone who adores dark aesthetics and elegant touch – this is it!
How about a little gold and marble? These stunning boxes come in several colors – and shapes!
Christmas theme
The choices in that department are truly endless. To avoid browsing through millions of options, we’ve narrowed the choice to three different box sets.
They differ in size and style, but all resemble the magic spirit we all know from when we were children. Choose wisely which one to go for based on the sizes of your gifts, the right quantity, and the aesthetic.
But don’t worry – they will all please the eye of the gift recipients and make up for amazing Holiday decor!
Budget-friendly
It would be a real shame if you’d have to blow off half of your budget on the gift packaging alone. So we gathered a few options that will allow you to pour hard-earned cash into presents – but still gift beautifully wrapped goodies.
Christmas stockings
This one is for everyone with enough space in their home and tons of imagination. Following the tradition of Holiday stockings above the fireplace (or a window!) is an extra effort for that Christmas look.
Stockings are also a marvelous way to wake up that inner child and make everyone longing for that magic back in the day extra happy!
From velvety, cozy multicolor options all the way to minimalistic and elegant – we got you covered!
Don’t forget the stocking holders for this one! With these, you can hang your presents in any place with a little bit of flat surface. Or even spread them around the house!
Wrapping paper
Classic option when it comes to wrapping presents. But which one to choose?
Which one will not tear apart? Which one will look like the picture of the manufacturer? Which one will look the most dashing under the Christmas Tree?
We’ve collected a couple of options based on the quality, style, and most unique look!
Happy Holidays from Presentful!
