Advent Calendars for Kids – Holiday 2021

September 25, 2021 · In: Gift Guides, Lifestyle

Last week I published a post about 10 advent calendars for adults that you can find this year. Today I am sharing some of my favorite holiday advent calendars for kids!

Obviously, it is more traditional for a child to get an advent calendar, but for this post, I wanted to find some that weren’t just chocolate or LEGO. Let’s find something more unique!

1. Disney Minnie Mouse Advent Calendar

This advent calendar is so unique and it is exclusive to Amazon! It comes with a Minnie Mouse fashion doll, and each day you open a new clothing piece or accessory for Minnie to style. So fun for the Disney-loving girly girl!

2. Thomas & Friends Minis Advent Calendar

I can’t tell if Thomas is making a comeback or if I just have a 3-year-old nephew (haha). But this fun advent calendar has kids open a new mini train engine each day! The fun part is that some of the engines are even holiday-themed.

3. Playmobil Christmas Manger Advent Calendar

Playmobil typically offers a play nativity manger scene – but this one on their website is a similar idea in an advent format. Playmobil also offers other themed advent calendars like horse and farm sets.

4. Disney Pixar Cars Mini Racers Advent Calendar Set

This is such a fun set for kiddos who are a fan of the Cars franchise. Each day you’ll unbox different cars, accessories, and pieces of track to create your own mini Christmastime Radiator Springs!

5. Rubber Duck Advent Calendar

This is such a cute little set for kids who love rubber ducks! Each day they open a new one, and some ducks are even holiday-themed.

6. Disney Princess Storybook Collection

My nephew got one of these a few years ago in a Disney Classics version. This is a great one for kids who love books or are starting to read.

7. Matchbox Advent Calendar

Another great one for car lovers! Get a series of classic Matchbox cars along with some accessories each day leading up to Christmas.

8. Polly Pocket Advent Calendar

Have you heard that Polly Pocket is making a comeback? Just be aware before purchasing this – these are back to the ’80s-’90s style of Polly Pockets, meaning they are a choking hazard! So be mindful of the age group you purchase for.

9. 12 Days of DIY Ornaments

I would have loved this as a kid! For the kid who loves art, loves to craft, do DIYs, etc. – this is for them. It comes with 12 porcelain ornaments and six markers to decorate them.

10. Barbie Color Reveal Advent Calendar

Have y’all seen these color reveal Barbie dolls that have come out the past few years? They are so neat! You put it in water to reveal its skin tone, eye color, and hair color. Plus, this advent set comes with tons of fun clothes and accessories for the doll.

I hope you all enjoyed these 10 advent calendars for kids! If you’d like more inspiration, check out these posts from years past. Let me know down below if one of these would be perfect for the kiddos in your life.

Cheers!

xoxo

The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍 The Summer I Went Through Fertility Treatment🤍

No, I’m not pregnant. Yet🤞🏼
I’m finally ready to share what my world and entailed the past year or so. 

We got married in 2021 and like many couples decided to wait a few years before trying to have a baby. 2 years passed and we decided we were ready. Little did we know that would start a journey filled with heartbreak and frustration. 

A year came and went - no positive tests. So the obsession started; tracking ovulation, supplements, bloodwork. You name it - I’ve probably tried it! I went to my gynecologist and got put on a dreaded waiting list for an HSG. 5 months later no call back. So I decided to call a fertility clinic in January 2025, they saw me two days later. 

With a fabulous team of doctors, NPs, PAs, and nurses I got to where I am now. I have no diagnosis, and neither does my husband - bloodwork good, egg quality amazing, no cysts, fallopian tubes functioning, etc. On paper I’m good and still a mystery!

We opted for 3 rounds of IUI’s, all unsuccessful and traumatizing. So onto IVF. 

I’ve spent my last few weeks getting injection after injection, so much bloodwork, so many ultrasounds. And today we went do Maryland for an egg retrieval. 

This was not the summer I was imagining, but I’m so beyond thankful I was able to have this journey (and also get most of it paid by insurance😉). So now we wait on our 17 mature eggs🙏🏼 

I will likely keep my embryo transfer journey private until I have a confirmed pregnancy. But getting all of this off my chest I feel comfortable to post and share again🫶🏼

If you are going through an infertility journey - whether it’s been short or long. I pray for you. I grieve for you. I am you! My heart breaks for you.

Unhelpful and hurtful comments will be deleted. 🚫“just relax!” “get drunk” “it’ll happen when you least expect it!”🚫 

A special thank you to my handful of friends who have been my angels on earth this year. You know who you are✨
