At this time of year our minds start to turn towards colder weather, cosy nights in by the fire and of course the start of the countdown to Christmas. Traditionally most families use an advent calendar to countdown the month of December and over recent years the toy advent calendar has grown in popularity. The idea being that instead of opening a door and finding a picture or piece of chocolate behind it, the lucky person gets a small toy. The box design is normally integral to the toys, allowing a small Christmas scene to be built up as all of the calendar doors are opened. 
The most popular of these has always been the LEGO Advent Calendar. Last years successes of LEGO City & LEGO Star Wars themed Advent Calendars have been produced again, with different characters to collect in 2012. Simply open a door each day to discover a new LEGO Minifigure or LEGO gift.
New for 2012 is the LEGO Friends Calendar for children who love the new girl focused LEGO theme. This advent calendar will feature 2 exclusive friends characters dressed in their Christmas outfits.
As well as LEGO Advent Calendars this is the first year that children will be able to buy a Moshi Monsters Advent Calendar. Filled with 24 special winter moshlings, including 7 limited edition Christmas moshlings (our favourite is IGGY in his Santa's hat), as well as a sack full of twistmas codes.
All of these advent calendars are proving to be incredibly popular. In fact last year we sold out of the entire range within just 1 week. This year we've made sure that we have more stock available, but they are still selling fast. If you don't want to be one of the people paying over the odds on online marketplaces at the end of November now's the time to place your order and start your countdown to Christmas!
