Advent calendar for men
I want an advent calendar for me. Last year (and probably this year) I got SWMBO the M&S advent calendar with loads of girlie stuff, and the Lego Star Wars Advent calendar for my son.
What did they get me? Nothing.
So, this year I'm buying my own Advent calendar. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find one. All of my searches turn up MEN STUFF which I don't want - bloody cosmetics or shaving products.
Anyone have a suggestion?There are two rules for success,
1. Never tell everything you know.
A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.

Mrs Pelyma has just pointed out maybe Mrs M wasn’t impressed with the girly advent calendar and that’s why she hasn’t bought you one!DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

A few years ago I SWMBO got me a 'Build a radio' advent calendar, so over the 24 days I got a part in each window, worked a treat....do a Google, I'm sure it'll be easy to find Iggy/Ieuan

SWMBO made me an Advent calendar last year. Big cardboard box with 24 dividers in it and 24 indivdually-wrapped bottles of beer (all different). Said she got funny looks in M&S when she bough the beer.
