I don’t know about you, but I am having a bit of a panic about Christmas already. I am not rolling in cash, but I want my three children to have the best Christmas ever! At the same time, I know happiness doesn’t have to be expensive, so I don’t want to spend loads and loads of money and make bad environmental choices in a blind panic.
So I will be taking my time finding second bargains on ebay and in charity shops, and anything new I do buy I want to be as eco-friendly as possible, and made or supplied by an independent store.
So, my three rules for Christmas buying:
- Shop second hand
- Buy local and independant
- Everything eco-friendly
Eco-friendly advent calendars for all the family under £15
And I want the joy to last as long as possible. Well, at least for the month of December. So, I have been sourcing advent calendars for my children and husband this weekend. I have found some really awesome, affordable options for all aged children and adults through my late night and early morning searching. So, without further ado, I present my 10 favourite eco-friendly advent calendar options under £15 each. (With some under £10!)
