Show your appreciation and bring joy to a loved one day after day during the often hectic pre-Christmas season: A DIY Advent calendar offers a wonderful opportunity to do just that. Each little package shows how well you know the recipient’s little wishes and preferences, making it a symbol of your bond.

Our folding boxes, made in Germany from recycled paper, provide the perfect setting for this—each set comes complete with stickers (available in red or copper) and color-coordinated cotton thread. The harmonious graphic and color design of the sets evokes a festive Christmas atmosphere while still leaving room for your own ideas. Label, decorate, or color the boxes however you like and let your creativity spark with the joy of Advent.

The compact boxes (they’re delivered flat and can be stored space-savingly after the holidays for next year) are quick to unfold and labeled with the numbers 1 through 24. Then just stack them or hang them up with the included cotton twine—and you’re done. Opening one little package each day can become a special little ritual for your loved one—one that, amid the pre-Christmas hustle and bustle, offers moments of meaningful togetherness and shared joy—and that, after all, is one of the most precious gifts of all.
