The holiday is coming up quickly and the arrival of December 1st is always an exciting day for one big reason: the advent calendar! Over the years, we’ve shared a handful of DIY options (like this paper garland, this upcycled jar, and these adorable piñatas) that we of course have a soft spot for. That said, November and December get busy really quickly so if you’re looking for quick, ready-to-use options, we’ve put together this collection of a few of our favorites.
