I've had to wait to fill in this gap in my calendar as I spent the 27th putting together a kind of Advent calendar for my daughter and I didn't want her to see until December. I used to do this kind of thing when she was younger, the last one being when she was 16 and it used to take a lot of months in the planning and preparation. However, the other weekend I said to my hubby that I miss doing it now and he said why don't I do one then, even though daughter is now 21!! I said there wasn't enough time and he said "you can do it." So, he had laid down the gauntlet and I just had to do it and I did it all in two days thanks to Amazon and Sainsburys. The small numbered envelopes have clues in them which lead her to the gifts. I must say I had the best time putting it all together but this really is the last year I'm doing it!
What a remarkable idea and thoughtful gift for her! I am certain she will love it as much as she did when she was a child because of all the love that went into it. This is a truly wonderful photo of it to show all the thought behind the gift.
Kids are always kids, no matter how old we get. I still loved to get the Christmas stocking filled with silly goodies and treats that my mother would fix for me. Your daughter will appreciate this. Who knows. It may not be the last year. You could be making them for grands.
