I purchased this for my sister as a present, and even though I haven't seen it in person, she's thrilled with it. My decision was influenced by my daughter, who gifted me a smaller version about three years back, and it's still in excellent use.
Wee doors with pictures behind.
It is an advent calendar. There are numbered doors you open each day to count down to Christmas. Behind each door is a different picture. Cannot fault the quality of the product and delivery was speedy too.
Great company!
Great company, excellent service, fast postage, would highly recommend!
Excellent!
My go to stationers for that extra special card.
Bought several of the Christmas Cactus Advent Calendars this year - v well received.
Excellent company; good delivery; ticking every box!
Sadly disappointing
I bought the Pooch Perfection advent calendar from Manchester museum and was very excited to get started assembling it just before 1st December. Sadly the pieces are still waiting to be put together on 12th December as after 3 attempts. I still can't assemble it without risk of breaking some pieces. There are instructions re a to a, b to b but no tips for how to get the thing fully assembled. It's such a lovely idea, I am so disappointed that it was not a success.

I bought this as a gift for my sister, she loves it
I bought this as a gift for my sister. Although I haven't seen it myself she loves it. I bought it because my daughter had bought a smaller one for me about 3 years ago and I'm still using it.
This Christmas House Advent Calendar is impossible to assemble!
I bought the Christmas House Advent Calendar for my granddaughter and when I came to visit this week we thought we'd put it together as a nice table piece for Christmas. Unfortunately, it's much too difficult a seven year old to manage - but it's also too difficult for an adult - mainly because the cardboard slots which form the house structure simply do not work and the whole thing is impossible to assemble. What a disappointment, especially as this is not a cheap calendar.

Christmas Magic
This is the third advent calendar i have purchased and can't wait to start making it on December 1st. I love the the content of them and the magic they bring to Christmas.

Saw a cat advent calender from Roger la Borde but they'd sold out in the shop, so I bought online. Lovely, and one of many great designs this year. Sturdy design and cheerful colours. Arrived quickly and was packed carefully. Can't fault.
The advent calendars were recommended…
The advent calendars were recommended by a friend but I hadn’t seen one , so ordered direct, sight unseen. My order was posted very promptly & arrived safely in plenty of time to pass on to the children / grandchildren. They are delightfully different from the usual advent calendars & I look forward to seeing them throughout December.
Great quality
Quick delivery. The advent calendars are quality board....purchased these as gifts as so pleased with mine last year :)
I particularly love the laser-cards…
I particularly love the laser-cards especially the book reference ones. I wish you could do more as I have sent them to all my friends and family at least twice! Your cards are imaginative, individual and a joy.
Great selection of Christmas cards
Great selection of Christmas cards, so difficult to chose but very happy with my choices, excellent quality and just that little bit different 😊
Not great service
Whilst the items I ordered are nice and the illustrations are really lovely, I was expecting a bit better in the quality of the paper. I'm still happy with them though, they're very pretty. On the other hand, unfortunately the delivery service was atrocious, it took a week for them to be sent and then I wasted 3 days when they didn't arrive when they said they were due, in the end I had to go and collect my items myself which isn't easy for me, having mobility issues. The customer service wasn't that great either. No apology or anything from them, ultimately I paid for a service I didn't get. Just rubbish service so I won't be ordering again I'm afraid. I hope others have a better experience than I did.
Edit...Re Response below. They apologised for getting my name wrong in an email, not for the rubbish delivery service. Ultimately, the delivery service was atrocious as I said and I didn't blame your team for that but having said that the customer service was lacking. Sorry we'll have to agree to disagree on that.
