I am a massive fan of DIY advent calendars especially in the Scandi style (well they do everything festive so much more stylishly)! Plus they seem to focus on the little things that matter rather than big flashy advent calendars with gifts.

For me, advent is more about the build-up to Christmas and the things that we can do to bring families together. Small things that make the season memorable and traditions that families come to enjoy year after year.

An Advent calendar isn’t only a countdown to Christmas. It also takes you through the dark month of December with a daily dose of excitement and joy.
Also, making one could be the perfect little DIY project this autumn. Below is our favourite Advent Calendars, Scandinavian style of course.
