I ordered without expecting much and it turned out to be the thing my daughter talked about all month. Properly made, nothing crushed in the box, and she opened every single door.
December the first, half past six. She's at the kitchen table in her nightie before anyone else is up, because today is door number one.
You know what the cheap calendars do to that moment: a puff of air, a sticker, a chocolate that's gone in a second. This one has a princess or a dress behind every single door.
Twelve princesses, twelve dresses, and every dress fits every princess. By Christmas Eve she has a whole castle of them, and she'll still be dressing them up in February.
Four steps. Nothing to set up.
Take it out of the box and stand it where she'll see it first thing every morning.
From December 1st she opens a door: a princess one morning, a dress the next.
Every dress clicks onto every princess. Twelve by twelve is 144 combinations.
Twelve princesses and a full wardrobe she keeps playing with long after Christmas.
An empty door by day eight, a box that gives up halfway through, and a bag of bits in the bin on Boxing Day. This one is built the other way round.
The swap. Twelve figures by twelve dresses is 144 combinations. No two mornings are the same, and by the end every princess has a full wardrobe.
The figures. Solid, hand-painted princesses about 8 cm tall that stand up on their own on a shelf.
The box. Thick illustrated card that stands on the sideboard all month and still closes on the last day.
Every morning in December the phone goes: "Granny, it was the yellow dress today!"
The princesses go everywhere with her: the breakfast table, the nursery bag, the bath, Granny's sofa. And when the last door is open, nothing goes in the recycling. The dresses keep swapping, the princesses keep their places on the shelf, and the game carries on long after the tree comes down.
We pick every calendar we sell with one question: is the child still playing with it after Christmas?
This one passed. If it doesn't do that for your family, write to us within 45 days and you get every penny back. No forms, no questions.
Parents and grandparents say there is a doll or a dress behind every door, and that daughters race to the box each morning from the first of December. The dresses click on and off any of the dolls, so the play carries on long after Christmas, often well into spring. Several bought two so sisters each have their own set. A few would like even more dresses to choose from.
Ordering this again for her younger sister this year. The one we bought last December is still on her shelf, and the dresses still get swapped round most evenings.
Second year buying it. Last year she ran to the box every single morning before she had even brushed her teeth. This one is already hidden in the wardrobe for December.
We bought it last Christmas and I am writing this in September because she is still playing with it. Twelve dolls, twelve dresses, and she keeps finding new outfits for them.
Went for the unicorn version. The hair clips have been in her hair nearly every day since January and the unicorn sleeps next to her pillow. Getting the same one for her cousin.
Bought two this time so the girls each have their own. Last year they shared one and took turns with the doors, which worked until the morning they both wanted the same doll.
She loves it and still plays with the dolls most days. Four stars only because she keeps asking for more dresses, so an extra set to buy on its own would be very welcome.
My granddaughter brought all twelve princesses on holiday to Kerry in a pencil case. Eight months after Christmas. That says enough really.
We used to do chocolate calendars, and by Boxing Day all that was left was foil. These dolls are still out on the playroom floor in July.
The unicorn version has a necklace and a bracelet for her as well as the dolls. She wore the necklace to her birthday party and told every guest where it came from.
The dresses click on and off easily, even for a four year old. She changes them herself without asking me, which was half the reason I bought it.
Lovely calendar. My three year old needed a hand opening the first few doors, after that she managed by herself. The dolls are well made and nicely painted.
It is the end of April and she still lays all twelve dolls out on the rug and gives each one a new outfit. Easily the best value toy we bought last year.
The dolls are solid and have a proper weight in the hand, and the painting on the faces is lovely. You can tell somebody took care over them.
My daughter informed me there are 144 combinations. She has decided to try every one and is keeping a list on the fridge. We are on number 61.
Chose the unicorn version because she is mad about unicorns. The hair clips and bracelet behind the doors meant it felt like her calendar too, not only the dolls'.
February and she has moved on to princess weddings. All twelve dolls get invited, the dresses get swapped for the occasion, and I get told off if I sit on one.
Great calendar and she adores the dolls. I would have preferred a pink box to match her room, but she does not mind at all, so four stars from me and five from her.
Bought it for my granddaughter in Riga. Every morning in December she rang me to show me what was behind the door. The best 24 phone calls of my year.
Every single door had a doll or a dress behind it. After years of calendars with a sad sticker on day 14, that matters more than you would expect.
Short review. Played with every single day since the first of December. No regrets at all.
I have twin girls so I bought two unicorn calendars. They opened the doors together every morning and compared. No fights at all in December, which in our house is a minor miracle.
Our December mornings are pitch dark and getting her out of bed is a battle. Not this year. She was up before me every day to open her door.
A bit dear for a calendar, I will be honest. But she has played with it every day for five weeks now, so I have made my peace with it. Four stars.
On Christmas Eve she opened the last door and lined all twelve princesses up in front of the castle on the box. She asked to sleep with the box next to her bed.
Swapped the chocolate calendar for this one and nobody misses the chocolate. She talks about the dolls, not the sweets. Our dentist would approve.
Bought for my granddaughter who is five. When she saw the whole set together on Christmas morning, all twelve in their dresses, she was over the moon. Her mother says it was the best present she got.
Bought one each for my girls, six and eight. Best decision I made all December. They each have their own set and trade dresses like they are running a market stall.
She came down this morning wearing every unicorn clip from the calendar at once and carrying the unicorn under her arm. Happy Christmas from a very happy seven year old.
Lovely calendar, she opens it straight after breakfast. I would have chosen a purple box over the blue, but that is me being fussy. She does not mind one bit.
She runs downstairs every morning in her socks to get to the box before her brother does. Twenty one days in and she has not missed one.
Each doll has her own face and hair, and the dresses really do fit every one of them. My daughter gives each one a name as soon as she opens the door.
My mum lives in Manchester and gets a video call every morning from her granddaughter holding up the new doll. My mum now knows the dolls better than I do.
Nice dolls and she is happy with them. Three stars because I hoped the box would be more festive, it feels more castle than Christmas. She disagrees completely.
She counts the doors left every night before bed. Eleven to go, she told me tonight, very seriously. The dolls from the first thirteen days are lined up on her windowsill.
Door nine was the bracelet and she has not taken it off since. She wears it to school and shows her teacher every day. A great mix of dolls and bits for her.
Lovely quality and she is thrilled. My only wish is a doll with darker hair like hers, she asked for one straight away. Otherwise spot on.
Seven doors in and every morning has brought a doll or a dress. She plays castle with them on the kitchen table while I make breakfast.
Exactly like the pictures, castle and princess on the front. Solid, well painted dolls. Very happy so far.
My daughter has been up before the alarm five mornings in a row. Normally I have to drag her out of bed. This calendar has done what I could not.
The unicorn version has hair clips for her, and she has started clipping them on the dolls too. Four doors in and she already has a whole routine going.
Three mornings in and she loves it. My only wish is a few more dresses with sparkle, she has very strong opinions about sparkle. Otherwise lovely.
Day two and she is already planning which dress goes on which doll. She is hooked.
First door opened at six this morning. I heard her squeal from the landing. She has waited for this day since we hid it on top of the wardrobe.
She has a calendar on the fridge and crosses off each day until the first of December. Two to go. The box sits on the shelf where she can see it.
Bought early so I would not end up panicking in December. Picked the unicorn one because she would wear the clips every day. She has spotted the box and is counting down.
The box looks lovely on the shelf. I wish it came with a gift tag so I could write her name on it. She says it is the best box ever, so who am I to argue.
Not opened yet but already the talk of the house. My two girls ask every morning how many days until they can start. I bought two so nobody has to share.
Ordered for my granddaughter who is four and in the full princess phase. I had a peek at the box and it is beautiful. She will open the first door at my house.
Your review will appear once we have matched it to your order. It means a lot to us and to other families.
Twelve princess figures and twelve dresses, twenty four doors in total. Every dress fits every figure, not only the one it shared a door with.
No. It comes ready to use. Take it out of the box, stand it up, and it is done.
It is one of the easiest gifts to get right. Instead of one object that is opened and put down, it is twenty four small moments spread across the month.
About 8 cm, so they stand up on their own on a shelf. Small parts, so keep them away from children under three.
It is rare, but it happens. Every order is covered by our 45-day money-back guarantee. Write to us and you get your money back in full, with no conditions.
Of course, and many people do. One for the house and one to give away is the most common combination, and it saves the argument about whose turn it is to open the door.
Completely. Every transaction is encrypted and handled by Shopify Payments. You can pay by card, PayPal or Apple Pay.
Nothing stops you, but the whole point is the wait. Most families find the countdown is what the children actually look forward to, more than what is behind any single door.

Excellent! 4.8/5 from 3,146 reviews
I bought it for my grandchildren and ended up ordering one for myself too. Ordering was easy and customer service answered me in under an hour when I had a question.
Honestly one of the best things I've bought. The kids had it out of the box before they were even dressed.
I bought it before December and was pleasantly surprised. No batteries to hunt for, no hassle, just something they actually use.
I gave it to my sister for her boy, and she's impossible to buy for. She sent me a video of him on Christmas Day. Thank you.
Arrived well packed, exactly like the photos, and the quality is better than I expected.
Third time ordering here. Always the same: careful packaging, everything easy and products that do what they promise.
