Great Glass Advent Calendar

24 pieces from a choice of Christmassey and fun options, including 4 family pieces made just for you.

Also available as a twelve or four piece collection.

Single pieces are available too, all year round.

This all started in 2016 when I made a tiny glass advent calendar for my young nephews and the glass goodies I created were housed in a DIY shop-bought wooden house painted by my elderly Dad. It was a huge hit with the kids and even more so when I had a daily ‘reveal’ of each wee piece on Instagram and Facebook. I’ve continued to come up with 24 new pieces each year on social media as part of my Christmas traditions and I have as much fun coming up with the new designs as you all do cheering and heckling them!

So many of you loved the idea to fill your own advent calendars, special crackers or give as unique tiny gifts that I now sell the best loved designs all year round. I only make a few 24 piece or 12 piece Advent Calendars a year as it’s such a special process and I want to enjoy creating those precious one-off pieces included.

Do the tiny glass pieces come with an Advent Calendar?

I make all the glass pieces – you provide the ‘housing’. You might have a well-loved family advent calendar that’s been used for years, or you might be about to buy a posh new one. Each family Christmas traditions are unique to you, but I can fit in with your preferences.

How does it work?

You book your slot by ordering here on the website and paying a deposit for the full 24 piece or 12 piece Advent Calendar. I will then email you a list of festive and fun pieces to choose from to make up your calendar. For 24 piece calendars you get to pick 4 Family Pieces which I make just for you, and for the 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar it’s 1 Family piece. This could be a hobby, food or a pet for example. This process is really fun because I can really get to know your Advent Calendar and your family quirks!

To order for this Christmas you need to get in quick. I only make a few a year and often close my order book for that year in September because it’s full. If you’re a very organised person, you may want to order early in the year to squirrel it away.

Can I buy individual pieces or sets?

Yes I offer sets of four festive and seasonal pieces in this section as well as individual decorations all year round in the Seasonal Hanging Decorations section.

How are they packaged / posted?

Each piece is hung on festive ribbon and packaged in either a small cardboard box or in a little silk purse. For the 12 and 24 piece, I can customise the size of the pieces slightly and the packaging to suit your own Advent Calendar size and theme.

Prices for 24 and 12 pieces include special delivery postage to the UK.

Can I wear them as jewellery?

They are not designed to wear as jewellery due to their size and the delicate element of being, well, tiny glass. Have a look in the Jewellery section to see the pieces I’ve designed especially to wear

Can I order all year?

Yes and season collections of 4 pieces will be updated eg for Easter, Halloween etc

Can you make a themed Advent Calendar?
