Christmas is very much on its way - and whilst we might not have got any shopping sorted or know where we’re going (for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day), we’re ready to grab an advent calendar and indulge in everything that December can bring. But what about advent calendars for men?
We love them, but the men in our lives are less pumped about a small square of chocolate at 7 a.m. every day in December than we want them to be. Luckily, the world has realised this and started to make different types of calendars for men, full of different goodies that our husbands, boyfriends and brothers (of both the genetic and from-another-mother type) can get on board with.
