Making your own advent calendar is a fantastic idea and will make a truly personalised festive gift for the special man in your life. Not On The High Street has an extensive range of DIY calendars that can be filled up, and you should also check out our favourite make-your-own calendars.
When it comes to deciding what to fill your advent calendar with, it all depends on the man in question – ideas for fillers include beer and wine or other spirits, sweets and chocolate, cufflinks, Christmas jokes, handwritten notes, mini storybooks, grooming products, jewellery, aftershave, tickets to a show or sports game, techy accessories – the only limit is your imagination.
What to look for in a men's advent calendar?
Once you're happy the advent calendar you're looking at fits within your budget, check how many doors there are to open – some have 24, some are 12, while others (the best ones) have 25.
Look for an advent calendar that represents the person you're buying for. A Marvel obsessive will go mad for Marvel Mens Advent Calendar – so consider what they're into, and go from there.
And if you truly can't find an advent calendar that works, why not make your own and fill it with personalised treats?
