For quite some time i've been eyeing this adorable wooden advent tree from Pottery Barn Kids. I thought about making one, but I just couldn't see myself taking the time to make the bags on this advent calendar which is part of the reason why I loved it so much! I decided to make the splurge and buy it and i'm so glad I did! It is so so so pretty.
Embarrassingly enough, this is one of maybe 10 advent calendars that we have so I decided to stuff it with fun surprises and name it our "fun calendar". If anyone is like me however, when it comes time to think of things to stuff these calendars with, I draw a blank! I put a lot of time into coming up with meaningful, extra fun things in this one and want to always remember it, and help any others that need some quick ideas. I'm really happy how it turned out! 'Tis the season for advent calendars!
