I need help finding an advent calendar (not candy) for a 13yr old boy.

Ok I get that this is early, but advent calendars sell out quickly. We’ve bought the niece & nephews calendars for years, & over the years they’ve grown up :D We’ve never bought them candy calendars & I really don’t want to start now. Older girls are easy to buy for, tea , nail polish, pretty stationary. But I can not find anything age appropriate for my nephews.
I don’t want to buy & fill an empty calendar (too much work). I am comfortable shopping online & even have enough time to have something shipped from another country. Can anyone help me ? Thanks in advance.

Try the Lego website? They used to have them anyway. I think it was either a small set or a mini figure for each day with a winter/Christmas theme.

Thanks, the LEGO calendars are great, but they’ve outgrown them.

why not tea for the boys too, hot chocolate or coffee? There are other ones out there but beard oil and craft beer might be a bit to soon for 13 haha honestly IDK the kids but just keep googling adult or boys calendars until you find something that at least kinda fits

Why dont you check out Facebook, homemade in Brandon, and see if someone can make one that would be made up of whatever interests them.

apparently men like hard alcohol the advent calendar people believe lol but 13 just that in between age where lego isnt cute enough to like it again as many dads do and booze isnt an option and all the other things they would like are a bit pricey and large for a calendar, i think you have your work cut out for you but the internet is a wonderful resource ...good luck
