For something a bit different, why not buy your kids, neices, nephews, grand chidren or godchildren a charity advent calendar this year? I absolutely LOVE this one by Advent of Change (which you can also buy online from John Lewis ). It supports 24 different charities (listed below), and each door represents a 50p donation to each charity. 85% of proceeds goes directly to the 24 chosen charities. What's more, it's also eco-friendly, plastic-free, fully recyclable and packaged in a biodegradable film... I've already bought one for my kids! They might be a bit disappointed they aren't getting a chocolate one (!) but I'm figuring when they learn about what they are supporting each day they will be really pleased.
