There’s a little thrill as the first door opens. Then comes the second, and in a few days that small gesture becomes a ritual: before school, when coming home, or in the evening, everyone together. This is also what an Advent calendar is: a way to count down to Christmas and carve out a moment to share.
This year at PIPI & PUPU we have chosen Advent calendars with different personalities. There are stories to project, accessories to wear, and small surprises dedicated to beauty. To choose, simply start with what the recipient truly likes.
For those who always ask for another story: Moulin Roty
The lights go down, a wall is chosen, and the storytelling begins. Moulin Roty calendars contain a story-projector torch and 23 discs to discover during the wait for Christmas. The images become the starting point for making up conversations, adventures and different endings together.
The La Grande Famille calendar, illustrated by Camille Jourdy, brings together images from eleven Moulin Roty collections. The Les Minouchkas calendar, illustrated by Lucille Michieli, instead brings you into the universe of its characters and includes two brand-new stories.
It is a beautiful idea for those who love bedtime: once December is over, the torch and discs can be used for many other evenings. You can even revisit the same pictures and let your child tell the story this time.
Small treasures to wear: Mimi & Lula
For those who carefully choose a hair clip before going out, the Mimi & Lula Advent calendar holds 24 hair accessories, including clips, hair ties and headbands. The retro-style illustrated packaging, with its blue bow, is already part of the surprise.
Each box adds a detail to use on school days, during the holidays, or when you feel like inventing a new hairstyle. Think of the colours and little accessories your child already loves wearing when choosing this calendar.
Unicorns, colors, and surprises: Souza!
A pink bow to untie and 24 little windows to open: the Souza! Unicorn Beauty calendar brings together makeup, accessories, and decorations in a wonderfully imaginative box.
Among the surprises are nail polishes, glosses, eyeshadows, hair accessories, unicorn tattoos, and nail stickers. It’s a fun choice for children who enjoy colours and dressing up, perhaps putting together a look for a family celebration.
A scented break: Inuwet
The Inuwet Advent calendar accompanies December with 24 surprises dedicated to bathing and self-care. Among the contents are bath bombs, hand creams, vanilla body cream, bubble bath, and accessories.
It may appeal to those who prefer a scented break to a new toy. For calendars with cosmetics, always choose based on age and the instructions for each product: the theme of the packaging, on its own, is not enough to understand who they are suitable for.
A little ritual, your way
You don't need to add much. You can open the box at the same time every day, take turns reading out the number, or accompany the surprise with a question: what story shall we invent tonight? Which hair clip shall we wear tomorrow?
Before choosing, check the recommended age and contents on the calendar's product page. Then imagine it in your daily lives: the most successful gift is the one that finds a place in the recipient's habits, even after Christmas.
