The chocolate calendar is eaten and forgotten by the 25th
You know the drill. One chocolate a day, the sugar rush before school, and an empty box to throw away.
The Savanna Animals Advent Calendar is the opposite. Behind every door is a different acrylic savanna animal ornament with its own hanging string. On the last day there are 24 of them lined up on the table, and in January they are still there.
How it works with the Savanna Animals Advent Calendar
Four steps. Nothing to assemble.
Step 1.
The calendar arrives ready in its box. Put it in the kitchen or the living room, where it gets seen every morning.
Step 2.
On day one, open door number one. Behind it is the first savanna animal surprise. That is all the preparation there is.
Step 3.
One door a day, in order, until the last one. The hardest part is not opening tomorrow's door too.
Result.
24 savanna animal surprises, all different, and a collection that stays long after the holidays are over.

What actually makes an advent calendar good
It comes down to three things.
Variety. 24 doors need 24 different surprises. A different acrylic savanna animal ornament with its own hanging string behind every door, and none repeat.
Something to keep. What comes out of the door should be worth putting on a shelf, not in the trash. That is the difference from chocolate.
Order. Every surprise sits in its own door, so a new one comes out every morning instead of everything at once.
They stay long after Christmas
This is not something that gets thrown away on the 26th. When the calendar is empty there are 24 savanna animals lined up on the table, on the nightstand, on the desk at work.
The collectors put them on display. The ones who were not collectors find out that they are now.

Nice calendar. A couple of the savanna animals are similar in shape but different colors. Not a problem for us.
