Ten Amazing Etsy Advent Calendars

I love Advent calendars. Growing up I looked forward to December 1 and being able to open that first door. When I was little, we had the flat Advent cardboard-like calendars. You opened each “door”  for every day from December 1 – 24. Having two older sisters, we had to take turns opening the doors (you can imagine how well that went).

Advent calendars have changed a lot since I was a kid. There are so many different options. You can get one for a few dollars at the grocery store with candy or chocolate behind each “door”. You can also find carved wooden designs that must have taken someone weeks in the wood shop to complete. Don’t get me wrong, they are absolutely gorgeous, but they have the price tag to match.

Ten Amazing Etsy Advent Calendars

I absolutely LOVE Etsy. You can find pretty much everything and anything, all unique and handmade. When you show on Etsy, you are also supporting small businesses. For me that’s a huge win-win. Unique, beautiful, and supporting small businesses. Can’t get much better than that!

I spend a lot of time on Etsy. I love perusing it for ideas, both for my own creative projects and for gifts. During one of my recent Etsy visits, I was looking for ideas for my own Advent calendar. The result of that search was two fold. The first was a recent blog post. I shared an Advent Calendar I made using my Cricut, a Boxed Christmas Gift Advent Calendar (get FREE cut files below).

The second was a compilation of ten absolutely amazing and beautiful Etsy Advent calendars. These inspired me and I hope you love them too!
