UPDATE: SEE ANOTHER LIST OF ADVENT CALENDAR IDEAS

There are dozens and dozens of grown up advent calendar ideas on Pinterest. This is such an easy thing to DIY.

BUT.. if you want to get one ready made, many companies are starting to dive into that trend and supply them for adults too.

Here’s some easy grown up advent calendar ideas and where you can buy them:

1. Craft Beer Advent Calendar

I got this one last year and it was wonderful. 25 different European craft beers. Some were awesome, some were funky, all were different and unique. The kids even enjoyed running down to the basement to open the door for Daddy’s beer every morning. There’s an even greater variety of beer advent calendars now.

2. DIY Beer Advent Calendar

If you don’t want to buy a pre-made craft beer advent calendar (or can’t find them because they sell out), you can easily DIY a craft beer calendar with some simple printables, lots of tinsel and garland, and an old beer box.

3. Star Wars LEGO Advent Calendar

This is the perfect calendar to buy on sale after Christmas if you can find them. We’ve had them the past few years and the boys love it. Big boys (and girls) will love them too.

You can get regular LEGO advent calendars too. There are also LEGO City and LEGO Friends calendars too!

4.Whisky Advent Calendar

Behind each of the 24 windows lies a different 3cl sample dram of delicious whisky! This year, be sure to count down to Christmas in style! As each calendar is the same you’ll be able to discuss the dram that’s revealed each day, whether it be a single malt Scotch whisky or some other treat from around the world, with other proud owners of one of the very best things ever.

5. Nail Polish Advent Calendar

Every girl’s diary can now be filled with a daily dose of delectable mini nail treats, as behind each door lies a very colorful surprise.
