SAND MINE Countdown to Christmas Wooden DIY Advent Calendar with Changeable Top Decoration

This thing is beautiful, the workmanship seems great - all knobs in place - and the fact that you get 3 different toppers is great. Plus the light-up feature is pretty. You can fit a mini-size candy bar or hershey's kiss in the drawers, so it's perfect. Very happy with my purchase!!

I am very happy with this advent. Yes it is thin, and may not be the strongest in construction, but for the price point it is perfect. It fits the smallest of mini treats, but the boxes are constructed so that they don't just fall out of their holders. They will fit the small figures I purchased to surprise the little ones. And the kids liked that they could choose which topper to put up. It takes 2 AAA batteries to light up the LED strip, and that lets off a nice warm light. This is not family heirloom quality. I doubt it will stand the test of time, without serious mending. But it is a pretty piece to have while the little ones still have that holiday sparkle in their eyes.

These are perfect for the Christmas count down, holds the small ornaments and a small candy to open each day.

This is cute and you can mix up what you want on the top. The tops are thin and break easily, not for Little hands to touch. I can look past all of that but the boxes are extremely small!! I can only fit cash that is folded super tight or change in here. I guess you could put some individual wrapped Lifesavers. I wish the boxes were big enough to put a gift card in or even chapstick. I ended up using bags numbered to match the boxes

Literally right when I took this out of the box and out of the wrapping I noticed like 5 things wrong without even inspecting/ touching it yet! The bottom of both sides were broken, the decor that goes on top looked worn and burnt. It looked like this was used! It looked to be burns around the windows of the church, on the dear, on the wording, all over! The wording was chipped as well. The handle on the 8 door was off, the top of the box where you add the decor came completely off, the back panel was detached. This was POORLY made! Very cheap (Flimsy and thin) feeing/ looking! I am VERY DISAPPOINTED! I will be asking for my money back!!!

I got this to start an advent tradition with my two boys. I wanted one we could use year after year. This exceeded my expectations. It’s super cute. The scenes that go on top look so good lit up! The drawers are small- but that’s what I wanted. I plan on putting little goodies on some days, and on other days I plan to put slips of paper with activities for the day. Like “Decorate cookies” or “watch and Christmas movie and drink hot cocoa.”

I bought these for my 3 kids because I wanted them to have matching advents but each have something unique. I couldn’t find any that were the same but different colors or some other distinction so I decided these would work because each kid can choose the two decorations they want on top from the six choices provided. They could even change them daily if they wanted to. I’m so glad I chose these. They are fairly sturdy, especially given the price. Im not sure they’ll hold up for generations to come but they should last the next ten plus years that I’ll need them, I’m assuming. As for the size of the drawers, I’m able to get three Hershey’s kisses or a whole bunch of skittles or other small candies if I take them out of the packaging. I also put paper in there with clues to another location for days I had something larger. On the last day I wrote a note to find someone you’re thankful for and tell them what they do that makes you happy, then I wrote that good things come to those who are kind and when they completed the task I gave them a candy bar. Just an idea. I’m so happy I purchased these. They are exactly what I was looking for and at such a reasonable price.

The piece is beautiful and I didn't have any issues with my drawers or knobs or even with the numbers. However, one of the top pieces is too thick and I'm going to have to shave it down to use it (unfortunately for me, my favorite top piece). However, other than that, it's going to serve us at Christmas for quite some time as long as no one gets rough with it. I would recommend this purchase for the pricepoint.
