Well, who'd have thought that 2021 would be as tumultuous as 2020! Once again, it seems that everyone is embracing the Christmas spirit a little earlier than usual, so we thought we'd get a head start on our gift guides, kicking off, as always, with advent calendars. Regular readers are probably aware of our preference for choc-free options (no one needs a sugar crash before breakfast), so enjoy our alternative selection of calendars that offer play options well beyond the new year. From traditional picture-a-day paper versions to refillable wooden ones that will be handed down the generations, via crafts, stationery, Lego, Playmobil, Brio and Harry Potter, there's something for every interest and every wallet.
Keep up to date with our gift guides as they're published by following @bambinogoodies on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
