Advent calendars make the countdown to Christmas so much fun—24 little moments of joy! This year, I’m making six of them, one for each of my favorite people. They’re going to be cute, festive, and filled with small surprises picked just for them. (The photo below shows one of my very recently finished sets of 24 bags with tags.)

In upcoming videos, I’ll share ideas for decorating, fun gift fillers, and tips for pulling it all together. Need more inspiration?
