Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought it on sale for my next advent calendar for my grandchildren. I do it every year and this looks to be the best.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
My one yr old grandson AND his parents were very pleased with the gift, thereby insuring its allure as a Christmas heirloom. In other words, it's a keeper!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This gingerbread house is darling and will last for the rest of my lifetime! Instead of putting hard candy in the drawers - I will add additional little treats or knick-knacky things. This would be really fun for young children and grandchildren to count down the days until Christmas. I like the bright look of it and it could be used for a centerpiece or even displayed on a mantel. Love it!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
We have one of these Advent Gingerbread Houses, and my son (2) loves it. Last year he was too small for anything that would fit into the little drawers, so we just left them empty, and he enjoyed just looking at it, and turning it. This year he's still too little for any toys that you might be able to fit in the drawers (choking hazard) but we were able to put little "treats" in for him, like conversation hearts, m&m's and even yogurt melts. He loved it, and looked forward to opening a drawer each night. I bought another one after Christmas to save as a gift for next year.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
purchased several of these for my grandchildren and great nephews. Will throw away candy and add my own treasures plus scriptures.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This adorable Advent calendar is one of the best purchases I made this holiday season. I collect gingerbread items and this house is wonderfully made and decorated. I teach kindergarten and my five year olds all loved finding the correct date and getting their treat for the day. My own three boys also enjoyed the house when it came home at the holiday break. Friends all commented on how cute it was. The turntable base was inspired; makes it so much easier for children to access the little hidden treats. Love it!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this advent calendar for my friend. When it arrived in the mail, I was so pleased with the product! It looked great and was different from all other advent calendars I had seen...since it swivels at the base. My friend loved the gift!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This product is adorable and very well made. I am so impressed with the quality and service Gardener's Supply provides. They really do care about customer service.

I bought it for my grandkids and they loved it.
It is so colorful and fun...
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
We will replace the candy with small toys and sea shells.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
What wonderful gift this was for my daughter. She loved it and so did I. It was better than the picture on-line.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
The advent I purchased was exactly what I wanted. I had hopes to start a tradition... and I will thanks to this lovely piece. It's so unique and unlike the others on the market. I also got a great deal at around [$]! I hope this turns into a family piece.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This Gingerbread Advent Calendar is absolutely charming. The family loves it and I love that we can bring it out each year to celebrate the advent season. And it is so sturdy that I don't have to worry it will break when it is stored away.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Put chocolate kisses in for the youngest grandsons and big boys . Started a new holiday tradition at Nana and Poppys house . This is a quality item and looks beautiful ! Very pleased !!!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Product is sturdy and well made. Price was great, i did lots of research and no one else has these cheaper than this ([$]). We have young children and this will be a family heriloom. Boxes are large enough to hold a few very small treats if you have more than one child. My only criticism is that the doors are hard for small fingers (toddler) to open.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Great Christmas gift for my grandchildren. I look forward to next year when the can begin having fun with it on Dec.1
It is well made & will last as a family tradition. It rotates like a Lazy Susan which makes it especially child friendly.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I got this on sale and it came after Christmas. So I put little notes in the drawers for my 6 year old grandson to find. He loves it. I plan to keep it out for a few months and keep it filled with messages (and treats) for him. I love it!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This was an unplanned purchase that turned out to be a terrific gift. When I saw the gingerbread house on sale, I decided to buy it for my granddaughters (ages 5 and 2) for next year. I wasn't keen on adding more candy to their holidays, though, so I went to the craft store and easily found 24 small ornaments that fit in the drawers. I also bought a small artificial tree. When I gave this to the girls this Christmas, the older child was completely intrigued, checking out the drawers and windows. She is very excited about using it next year.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought these as Christmas presents for my married children as family gifts. They absolutely loved them !!!...their children said they can't wait until next Christmas to look for the surprises each day !!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is the cutest advent calendar I have ever seen. It is perfect for the festive holidays. I have one and I bought another one for a gift.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this as a nice and fun way for my young children to count down the days until Christmas. It's really added magic to our holiday! My children's faces light up every morning. I love that it's beautiful and feels so special. I also love that we can use it year after year. I was also impressed with the quality: it's incredibly well made and sturdy.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is a really cute item for the money. It's pretty sturdy and if cared for it will last. I did not use the candy that came with it because for younger children the hard round candies are a choking hazard. I bought some chocolate coins and kisses and they fit in the little doors and windows perfectly.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This was a gift for a cousin with 3 kids. She loved it because the numbered boxes were big enough to hold 3 small candies. It also has a swivel base which I didn't notice in the description. Very cute and made a wonderful, reasonably priced gift their whole family enjoys.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Fun and unique gift idea for my daughter and grandchildren.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought 3 of these for my grandchildren and grandnieces. It was a hit! However, my 3 yr old granddaughter pulled one of the drawers apart when it wouldn't pull out all the way. So, it could use better glue.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Love this advent calendar house! It is cheerful, well-made, and makes a very happy addition to our table. We will have this for years to come. I had the grandmas send tiny ornaments to put in each compartment, rather than the candy that was included. The compartments are not huge but they are big enough.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I purchased this advent calendar because it fit in with my gingerbread/candy theme. It's bright, colorful, and very attractive. It will be a nice heirloom to hand down to my daughter. The only "bad" thing I can say about it is one of the window inserts had come unglued in [...]and the corner of the base was unfortunately, smashed in shipping as well. I didn't want to return it, so I fixed it up myself the best I could. It's not really a product defect though...it was packed well; the corner just got ripped open.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This house is a wonderful way to personalize the advent calander by adding your own unique items, not just candies. I wish I had this when my kids were younger.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this for my teens who had 'outgrown' the usual chocolate pieces advent calendar. This lets me put a piece of their favorite candy or other token in the slots for each day. Works beautifully. The only thing I would have asked of this advent calendar is that the slot for the 24th have been bigger. It is the same size as the other slots, which makes it awkward to put in a special something for that last special day of the 24th.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Very nicely done; I was surprised. Instead of candy, however, I purchased some mini ornaments, put those in the drawers & doors and each day we take one out and hang it on a small tree. This is definitely a keeper.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I am very impressed with this item. I considered buying it for months and glad I finally did. It is a great deal at the sale price and definitely worth more.
The quality is fantastic. I am very picky about details and thought this may have paint flaws or wood pieces not lined up quite right, however I could not find one flaw...and I searched for one! Also the doors and drawers open easily and I do not foresee any problem with them wearing out over the years.
I would recommend this to anyone considering buying it. I think it would make a fantastic gift, especially for a family with young children who would enjoy using it year after year.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
It looks so much like a doll house you will want to look for doll furniture. And each advent drawer is perfect for the old time hard candy that comes with it. It is festive and fun!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
We will be using it as a ADVENT CALENDAR for each Christmas Season.I make Gingerbread Men each year to put on our tree. Wrapping each one and tied with a ribbon to hang on the tree.We been doing this for about 30 years. So finding this Gingerbread House,was prefect.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I am so excited to start this tradition with my daughter! It is such a good quality item and will look fabulous for christmas!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I've always wanted to have a special advent calendar for our two daughters who are now 22 and 18!! I finally found it in your cute Gingerbread Advent House, not sure about the candy but it will be fun to put small gifts in for them when they visit!

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
After purchasing this gingerbread advent calendar to give for a christening gift, every member of my family wanted one. To date, I have bought five! This is one of the most delightful advent calendars I have ever seen.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this for my niece so she could count down to Christmas. I will replace the candy with diabetic candy. I won't buy one for myself as it is a little youthful with a plastic quality.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I love this product - it's so cute. The kids love opening each door to see what's inside. I can't wait until we can display it for Christmas. It is even better than it looked in the catalog. Thanks.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I was hoping to buy one last Christmas so when I saw it is on sale, I jump the gun. It looks very pretty and festive from the picture and I am sure we will enjoy it for the years to come. Can't wait till Christmas time so I can have it on the center of the table...
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
My daughter had so much fun with this when we bought it. I can't wait to use it at Christmastime.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought one for our home and one for a gift to a new relative's baby. Not sure why they send candy with it, it's not going to be fresh. Very attractive, nice sized drawers for treats or gifts. An obvious enhancement would be a turntable, but if you have a lazy susan, that would be great to allow it to rotate to all drawers. You'll like it. Nice size and quality
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I LOVE THIS ITEM SO MUCH I BROUGHT 3 OF THEM AT SEPERATE TIMES. 2 FOR GIFTS AND ONE FOR MYSELF. IT IS WELL MADE AND THERE IS NOTHING TO PUT TOGETHER.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I PURCHASE ONE FOR A NIECE AND DECIEDED TO KEEP IT AND ORDER ANOTHER THAT I SENT DIRECTLY TO HER[...] MY LITTLE 2 YEAR OLD GREAT NIECE THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT BUT HER MOTHER IS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL DECEMBER TO PUT IT OUT. I IS REALLY WELL CONSTRUCTED.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I plan to use Grandma's Gingerbread House as a centerpiece on my dining table with the 4 pine trees and some artificial fluffy snow. I plan on adding my own treats for good little girls and boys of all ages. This will be my best advent calendar and was budget priced,too.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Great gift for grandchildren
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Charming gift for kids. Colors are delightful and the Gingerbread House can stand alone or I can surround with my own Christmas decor (greenery, nutcrackers, etc.). Sturdy enough to last years. Child will look forward to seeing it for many holidays, refilled with new candy surprises. Might be fun to give with the classic kid's game "Candyland".
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I wish it would have had small hanging toys or something like that for each day on advent calendar instead of the candy. Children and adults, in my opinion get too much candy. The toys could be used each year.
I love the quality and appearance and plan to use it with my grandchildren for many years.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is sturdy, bright, decorative, and all I expected it to be. I know I will use it for years to come. And, on sale it was also a bargain.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I stumbled across this delightful avent calendar house on the website and am thrilled with its quality. I bought three - and may buy even more - as gifts for my nieces and nephews families. Their children will use it and pass the excitement it brings each Christmas season on to their children.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I am 60 years old and my girlfriends and I exchange advent calendars. For 24 days in December we celebrate the gift of friendship and the wonder of Christmas. You are never too old for an advent calendar.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I like this Advent Calendar house because it's unique and very usable every year. I am replacing the candies with the ornaments off another fabric Advent Calendar that I had where all the ornaments fell off so I can put the ornaments off that one in the openings of this house and hang them from the drawer/door knobs. This is made very well and the Gingerbread House theme is great for the holidays. Another great thing about this is that it turns so everyone can use it easier.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is a very attractive, dare I say "cute" house with little drawers that are filled to use as an advent calendar for Christmas. I purchased it on sale after Christmas and am very much looking forward to using it next year. The included candy is not bad, either, but I am not saving it for next year!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I have been looking for an advent calendar ever since my first granddaughter was born in 2002 but the quality of the ones I have seen were very poor. I wanted something that would last through the years. When I saw this one, I had to have it. When I received it, I was thrilled with the quality. The drawers and doors are perfect size for two small pieces of candy (one for each girl). I especially loved the gingerbread house concept as their favorite story is the Gingerbread Man. The only thing I didn't like is that the candy that came with this had to be discarded due to peanut allergies. With so many children having nut allergies, there needs to be a little bit more control on this.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I loved the product. I wish it came with small gifts instead of candy - I ordered one for me and one for my sister for next year and I will have to go out and replace the candy or find small gifts to put in the doors.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
this is a gift to our daughter, son in law and 2 grand daughters 3 and 9 mo. It will be a wonderful reminder each year of the love of their grandparents as we went to a miniature doll house store and have filled each box with unique items that relate to this family. I was able to order miniature coffee cups with each of their names on them. So each day these children will have such fun finding the suprisre for the day in the box. Love the fact that it is on a turntable.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This advent calendar is cute and functional. The doors work well and the decor is very festive.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
My family grew up with a variety of advent calendars when I was growing up, so I was excited to give this unique gift to my young nephew & niece for Christmas. I will replace the enclosed hard candies with chocolate kisses; otherwise, it's ready to send, set up and enjoy! I can already see them turning it around and around on the swivel base, getting a good look at all the windows and doors they will open in the coming month.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
A gift
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is a well made Advent house. It is unique in design and colorful. Great for children and grandchildren as the little drawers for each day can hide candy or gifts.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
The past few years I have wanted to purchase an advent calendar. I wanted one that was holiday festive, child-friendly, durable, and could become a tradition for years to come. This fit the bill on all specifications. Well-designed and built. My daughter loves it.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
When my children were younger, I used a wooden Advent calendar with candy behind each door. Now, my two grandchildren are able to mark each day in December in the same manner--and I still have my calendar for when they visit.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is the second house that I ordered for my children and grandchildren. They have enjoyed counting down the days to Christmas with it.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
The only negative was that the candy that came with the house tasted old. Since I ordered it after the holiday and won't use it until next year, I just tossed the candy and will put my own choices next year. Love it, though.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this as a gift for my sister's family and my nieces loved it. I think the only problem they will run into is who gets the piece of candy each day. Maybe they can fill it with two pieces for each day.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Bought this house on sale after the Christmas rush...it's nice and just what I expected. The hard candies were impractical for families with small children.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Add your own treats and enjoy with family for years.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Our children absolutely find these three-dimensional advent calendars the big hit of the Holiday decor. Each in the series are unique and beautifully created. These will be keepsakes.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I bought this for may grandchildren and they love it.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I set up a little scene using this house on a side table. It looks very cute! My husband almost lost the bag of candy though! He didn't know what it was for! :^)
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I like the house but I would have liked little figurines instead of the candy. Candy was not very good.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is the hit of all my Christmas parties!
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Excellent quality. Great gift.
Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
This is cute, and has enough details that it looks nice, but not soooo much that it's fragile. It will last for many years, and by keeping the packing foam it will store perfectly in it's box.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
Kids love this and like playing with it. Should not ship with hard candy as this is a choking hazard for small children; needs chewable candy included.
Great value on sale. Would not purchase at full price.

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I purchased 2 of these for my daughters who have started families of their own. They and their children were ecstatic when they opened them and every day of use afterward during the season. Advent candy calendars have always been a tradition with us having grown up around Hershey PA. Year after year, they can reuse them and even refill them with Hershey Kisses, if they want!

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
What a wonderful advent calendar! I was looking for one that was nice and wooden but they were all so expensive. I grabbed this when it was on sale and what a bargain it was! The boxes that hold the surprises are a little small but it is an advent calendar. It looks exactly as pictured but is even better in person! Love it!

Comments about Gingerbread Advent Calendar:
I was thrilled with this little wooden house & expect that it will last for at least a generation, maybe more. It's been fun filling the tiny spaces with treats & money for my grand-niece & nephew. I would definitely buy this again.

Looks as good as the picture, very festive. Just received so don't know how long it will last. Will have to be careful with it, but it meets my expectations.
