One of our customers, Ms Olivia, has already ordered cards for her children:
I have been preparing advent calendars for my sons for several years now. They each receive their own set of packs with small gifts. This has become our family tradition! This year, in addition to sweets and goodies, I have also bought advent calendar tasks for the 4-year-old and 7-year-old. I already know it’s going to be a hit! I regret that I only came up with the idea for the tasks this year. I am already looking forward to the first day of advent.

Advent calendar tasks for teenagers
Creating a calendar for toddlers is not as challenging as putting together a kit for a teenager. If you’re struggling to choose the right amount of gifts, it’s worth reaching for tasks. Christmas tasks will help engage youngsters in preparing for the holidays. Be careful, however, not to overwhelm your child with onerous tasks! Let the calendar be a pleasure, not a source of unpleasant obligations. During the Advent season, it is worthwhile to sensitise young people and help them listen to the needs of others. Half of the task cards can be about good deeds of various kinds (charity work, helping to prepare for Christmas, helping with a collection for a shelter), while the other half should be about fun and activities for the whole family – going ice-skating together, a family evening with board games.
Advent calendar tasks for adults
You can create an advent calendar for a friend, grandma, or your other half! Furthermore, in addition to small gifts, it’s a good idea to put cards in the bags with Advent tasks. Moreover, including a kind word for each day, Bible verses, or inspirational quotes can make the experience even more meaningful and special.
Wondering what tasks for an adult advent calendar would be best?
Advent tasks can be about the spiritual realm, content that refers to scripture will help you prepare fully for the coming holidays. This is also a good idea for Advent calendar tasks for couples. Reading Bible verses together is a great excuse to talk about what Christmas is all about.
