We have the perfect solution for that here: There are wonderful advent calendar ideas for spontaneous people that are ready in no time at all. Here we show you great inspiration for quick advent calendars.
5 quick advent calendars for the spontaneous
Socks advent calendar
Everyone has socks lying around at home – and they can be filled with little things. It looks particularly cute with children’s or baby socks (just not too much fits in here). Then all you have to do is write on the labels and clip them together with the filled socks to a string.
Chocolate praline advent calendar
A sweet temptation for every day: Take a box of chocolates of your choice (in this case Toffifee was used), melt some white couverture in a water bath and spread it over the chocolates (if you like, you can add sugar balls on top). Let the couverture harden and number the sweets from 1 to 24 with sugar crayons. Delicious!
Beer advent calendar
Beer lovers get their money’s worth here: Fill a beer crate with 24 different types of beer and write 24 small labels that you stick on the crown caps. Finished! Tip: The non-alcoholic version also works with sodas and/or juices.
A very special photo calendar
What a wonderful idea for your best friend: an advent calendar with photos that captures the most beautiful moments of the past months. All you need is a string, small clips and an envelope with 24 photos of very special experiences, situations or places that connect you. This idea is guaranteed to make you smile every day!
Last minute candy advent calendar
Little sweet tooths will be happy about this: a candy jar from which something can be pulled out to snack on every day. You organize this idea very quickly by filling a washed-out screw-top jar with delicious contents and sticking a corresponding label on the outside. Easy and almost no effort!
