If you are tired of cheap, throw-away advent calendars and want one that will last you year and after, then I suggest you check out the many different wooden Advent calendars.
These calendars made great gifts for loved ones or buy one for your home so your whole family can countdown the days until Christmas morning.
We have had a wood Advent calendar in our home for several years and my kids always look forward to getting it out and checking out each day as it comes about. It has lasted several years and will most likely last more since it is made from a high quality, sturdy material.
Be sure to check out all the different varieties of wooden Advent calendars below.
