Wow, there’s so much choice now isn’t there! Our girls both have the Haribo ones this year as we went to the Haribo shop at Cheshire Oaks recently.
These look brilliant! 🙂 This year we’re doing a book advent with the youngest 3. The older 2 will probably have chocolate ones though.
Wow I had no idea there were so many different kinds of Advents – really something for everyone!! We are not going to be doing chocolate ones this year so some of these are a good alternative to that
