A little post for this December 1st, to start the countdown to Christmas with you properly—one of my favorite times of the year to finish 2019 in style and with plenty of treats… Here is a small selection of Advent calendars, gleaned here and there to make you want to open a little window with a nice gift every day until December 24th. I, for one, am really looking forward to it…
By the way, just like last year, I am organizing a special Mademoiselle Bon Plan Advent Calendar throughout this month of December, with nice prizes to be won almost every day, either on my social networks (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram) or on the blog. You will therefore need to look for where the prize is hidden every day in order to enter the contest.
For the record: The Advent calendar is a German tradition, created to help children wait until Christmas. Originally, they were given a pious image each morning, accompanied by a sentence from the Gospel or an invitation to perform a good deed. Over time, treats and other sweets gradually replaced the images.

A small non-exhaustive selection of Advent calendars
I must say that I love gourmet calendars, even though this year I tried to diversify the selection by adding a few calendars featuring more original products.
The Compagnie Coloniale Advent Calendar
This Advent calendar from the brand Compagnie Coloniale offers a varied selection of 24 teas and herbal teas in Berlingo sachets, to discover the different flavors of this fine tea house.
An important point to note is that this calendar is entirely Made In France and features each compartment in a small removable cube that looks like a gift-wrapped package.
Price: 28 €

The Comtesse du Barry Advent Calendar
Behind each window of this XXL Comtesse Du Barry Advent calendar (48 x 30 cm) hides a chocolate treat to discover: great Christmas classics like the snail or praline rock, recipes such as gianduja, and a range of popping chocolates and intense ganache.
The great deal: to enhance the surprise effect, some calendars contain a winning ticket allowing you to win 20 complete collection sets, 60 half-cooked South-West duck foie gras, or duck terrines with green pepper.

Where to buy your sexy lingerie Advent calendar?
Advent calendars today come in all sorts of varieties. First, there are those you make yourself and then those you buy ready-made, in the shops where you usually do your shopping. There are of course Advent calendars made for children, with a treat or a small toy for each day…
Then there are those designed for adults. It could be an Advent calendar with a beer to taste each day, or even cheese. But there are also very specific Advent calendars, which are strictly for adults, like the 2022 sexy advent calendar, which contains a piece of sexy lingerie for each day. Offering it to your sweetheart is a choice that will undoubtedly please her, but it is also a nice gift for yourself. Indeed, you can always ask to see her wearing her lingerie of the day as the days of December tick by until Christmas Day.

Well, all that’s left for me to do is wish you all a very happy month of December!
