Non-Chocolate Advent Calendar Ideas List!

The Christmas season is quickly creeping up on us! The stores are all decked out for the holidays and the weather is starting to turn bitter and cold. I don't mind-- Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year after all. Are you ready to countdown to big day? It's a tradition in our family to have advent calendars but I hate the idea of the treat being chocolate every day so I've been on the hunt for alternatives and here's the list of my favorite non-chocolate advent calendars!

1. 12 Days of Socks $15 - Target just released a whole collection of "12 Days of Socks" Advent Calendars. You can choose from Disney, Star Wars, Woodland Creatures, Harry Potter, and so many more! They have a variety of size choices from toddlers to adults!


2. Charm Bracelet Advent Calendar $19.99 - If you're looking for an advent calendar for the tween/teen girl in your life, charm bracelets are the way to go! These cute sets come with a necklace and a bracelet and every day, your girl would open the box to find a new charm to add!

Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Peter Pan, and Tinker Bell star in this annual keepsake item. This set includes 24 fully sculpted characters and accessories.


4. Lego Advent Calendars $23.99-31.99 - I feel like this list wouldn't be complete without listing one of the most popular non-chocolate Advent Calendars-- the Lego Advent Calendars! They're so popular, they've been known to sell out and currently they're on sale at Target. The options available are Lego City ($23.99), Lego Friends ($23.99), and Lego Star Wars ($31.99).

7. Barbie Advent Calendar $24.99 - Barbies were my favorite when I was a kid so I would've freaked out if I was lucky enough to have one of these fun countdowns! Each of the 24 days brings a new fashion accessory for Barbie doll or the girl. Two special treats for the girl include a pink 'gem' bracelet adorned with a Barbie silo head and an adorable ring.

DIY Advent Calendar- You can always buy an empty box calendar like the KidKraft Wooden Advent Calendar and fill it with whatever trinkets you want! Last year, I made my own Advent Calendar and I filled it with Shopkins. My little Shopkins obsessed 4 year old LOVED it.
Happy counting down!
