Guide to Natural Advent Calendars

One of my favourite pastimes of the holiday season has always been advent calendars! Whether they're for me or the kids, I have always loved the excitement of opening up a new window each day and finding a surprise inside. But most mainstream advent calendars contain either chocolate or lollies, and with so much rich and indulgent food consumed around Christmas time anyway, it can end up being far too much sugar for my liking. Natural advent calendars forego the sugar, instead containing practical and beneficial goodies such as skin care and organic teas. These calendars are also the perfect way to try out products and flavours you might not ordinarily go for, making them the perfect gift for a special friend or family member, or even a treat to keep all to yourself.
