Advent Calendar Ideas That Keep Giving
Hi friends!
As promised here are some ideas to include in your Advent Calendar Planning this year. You can look at your schedule and plan different things for weekday vs. weekends of course. The whole point of our advent is to make sure we plan out quality family time, plan out ways to give back to our community as well as have little gifts sprinkled throughout to add a magical touch! I linked a few advent calendars with tiny little drawers. I write out little cards for each day and sometimes hide gifts throughout the house. Here are some ideas for you! Feel free to add/change them but this is where we start in no particular order! The idea is not to spend a ton of money! Use things that you are already doing and include it in the fun!
