Mary Engelbreit Advent Calendar

Very disappointed in this advent Calendar. And I buy several. It was not user friendly. Difficult to get the tape off to stick on the Calendar and then the little figures wouldn't stay stuck. They were also hard to get out of each of the boxes. Children for sure couldn't do it. Plus I feel it didn't follow the purpose of an advent Calendar. The leading to the Birth of Christ. Not a smiling star.

...compared to the previous one from a few years ago, this one isn't as great. The pictures and artwork is adorable, but a lot of the stickers are hidden by the other pages, so unless you have this accordioned out fully, you can't see everything. The previous advent one was universally loved by the entire family. They loved that it was mostly animals and all the stickers were on the upper sections of the pages so they could be seen way easier. This year's also already has a lot of art on it, which is why I suppose there's less space for the stickers on the top.

I bought the advent calendar last year and loved it so much that I bought this new version as soon as it came out this year. Creative design with delightful forest animals and little elves dressed in sweaters and scarfs. It would be great for children, but I’m a senior and got this one for myself. I enjoy having my morning coffee while placing the new figures on the calendar each day.

I was unable to take advantage of any savings for an order over $50 because I ordered two items that were going to two different addresses. It was unclear to me how to do this without placing two separate orders. The products themselves are always nice, but I should be able to take the discount and I could not.
