Christmas 2024

[Carefree]

I buy some condiments from Fortnums for Christmas like their Cranberry sauce and their pickle.

And no, I don't decant them because I want everyone to see they've come from Fortnum's.

*cough* Tracklements *cough*

I will say this. The reusable aspect of their stuff is a boon. I've a biscuit tin, long empty, that holds haberdashery items.

I read this as condoms and I was thinking WTF, you want *everyone* to see where they came from, do you have a sexual family viewing? Your Christmases must be WILD...

Disappointing to find it's just chutney tbh

I would love a Prosecco one again, Aldi did an amazing one one year but I haven’t seen it since

 

[JustHereForTheAgriculture]

I haven’t a clue what kind of advent calendar I’d like. Looking forward to hearing what others are getting so I can steal ideas be happy for you.

I might go for a Galaxy one this year.

I ended up with a vegan Monty Bojangles truffle advent calendar last year because it was on offer and I was already getting one for someone else and it looked interesting.
It was ok... but I started putting the truffles straight into the tin of quality street in the living room half way through the month. I remember liking them at first, but really went off them for some reason

I think I'm going to go super basic and get a standard Cadbury or Galaxy one this year!

Galaxy is also in my basket...debating but that chunky choc was sooo good

I am so boring and get the old fashioned Cadbury one. Just a basic chocolate every day but I love it

But look....

I’ve bought the Liz Earle one for me and filled up my last years White Company with Molton Brown for hubby to open as a surprise for him. I might get chocolate one too

 

[GoofyPrincess]

I’m planning on getting a standard Cadburys chocolate one. I live abroad so don’t get real British cadburys often but I always bulk order Cadbury’s stuff online for Christmas!

This thread now has me googling advent calendars. In August.

Me too. I always check out the fancier ones but end up sticking with a good old Cadbury's one. I'm always tempted to buy myself the Thornton's Continental one but haven't yet.

I’ve bought my boys the same two cheap advent calendars for about 10 years now. One gets milkybar and Cadbury dairy milk. Other one gets malteaser and kinder. They love it. Although I think the older one would love the Pringles one I seen spoken about on here, might get that as a wee extra.
I’m loving the sound of a Prosecco advent calendar

I heard there is a Baileys one and now I am hunting

I always get the Cadbury but I hate how thin they are now, it's proper stingy. I also miss the old shapes

 

[FenellaTheWitch]

I've seen loads of the Christmas chocolate appearing the supermarkets but I haven't seen any Cadbury snowmen ... I will be very disappointed if they have stopped doing those.
