Advert calendars to suit every taste this Christmas from booze to sex toys – The Sun

IF you are fed up with a daily dose of chocolate throughout December, there is an alternative advent calendar out there for you.

These days the Christmas countdowns can contain almost anything, from beer to cereal and even sex toys for lovers who want to spice up the last month of the year. We have found a selection of the weird and wonderful – and expensive – advent calendars on the market and give our verdict on who they are best suited to.

  • Cost: £100,000
  • Verdict: This was designed for the jeweller’s 100th birthday. In some parts of the UK you can buy a house for £100,000, but who doesn’t want to wake up to diamonds every morning?
