#12 Awesome Advent Calendars to Grab Before They’re Gone – LifeSavvy

Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye, so now’s the time to start shopping! This is especially true if you want to get an advent calendar for your kids—they’re sure to sell out fast.

It might seem a bit premature to start shopping for an advent calendar this early, but those that are the most popular get snatched up fast. If your child loves LEGO or Harry Potter, buy now and stash it away for December.

LEGO Star Wars

LEGO and Star Wars fans will enjoy this building-kit advent calendar for ages 7 and up. Because it’s a LEGO kit (albeit, one you open day by day), it comes in all the little pieces (311 of them) you’d expect.

Whether you’re a fan of the Dark Side of the Light Side, there’s a little bit of both in this collection to make for fun imaginative play. Plus, even Darth Vader is in the holiday spirit with a Christmas sweater on.

Pokémon

If your Pokémon-loving child is aiming to “catch ’em all” this year, you can’t go wrong with this 24-day advent calendar. Not only will your child score 16 adorable Pokémon figures, but the collection also comes with eight Christmas accessories, including a tree and sled.

It’s approved for ages 4 and up.

The Nightmare Before Christmas
