15 Reusable Advent Calendars You Can Fill With Your Own Special Touches

Behind each window is a small puzzle for ages 12 and up, so you get a quick brainteaser to start or end your day. I still have my Ravensburger calendar from last year, and I'm looking forward to using it again.

This fabric calendar is the most like the one that I had growing up, so it’s perfect for a nostalgic ‘80s holiday. The fabric ornaments have a little metal hook to attach to the tree.

If your Frozen fans still think that reindeer and snowmen are better than people, they’ll love this Olaf plushie. He’s cute and cuddly, and a felt Sven moves between pockets to count down the 12 days before Christmas.

This fragile Lenox masterpiece is one you’ll want to keep safe as a family heirloom. It’s got tiny ornaments to be hung on the dolomite tree that’s topped with a 24-karat gold star.

This one is a true stunner. I love that you can opt to personalize this wooden advent calendar (up to 18 characters) to make it specific to your child or family name. It measures 16 inches wide and features 24 small empty wooden boxes you can fill with small goodies, plus a larger box on top for December 25.

Kids as young as 18 months can be gifted this advent calendar. It’s shaped like a cheery holiday house, and it comes with sturdy plastic boxes that you can fill with notes, candy, or stickers. It’s something that they can continue to use as they grow, and you can fill them with different age-appropriate goodies as they get older.

Here’s an advent calendar that can be hung by the chimney with care. Each mini stocking is made from felt and has room for a bit of candy or a small toy.

This miniature record player plays small vinyl disks each day. You’ll get a different 40-second rendition of a Christmas carol every day, including classics like “Joy to the World” and “Deck the Halls.”

This stunning wooden one is part advent calendar and part Christmas village, with LED lights inside that you can illuminate each day of December. It’s 3.5 feet long, so you’ll need to carve out some space on the mantel, but I appreciate that its elevated, cozy glow.

This wooden pick is a blank slate that can be painted in any way you want—or you can even let the kids take control and help decorate this one on their own. Then, you can fill it with small trinkets or candies for the days leading up to Christmas.

If you’re looking for something that feels seasonal without screaming Christmas, this snowy option from West Elm is a good pick. It’s hand-felted and features a sweet polar bear working his way down the mountain to the finish line.

This one really is the best of both worlds. It comes with white chocolate popcorn snowballs you can indulge in this season, and then a wooden calendar that can be used again. Mark the days by placing a magnetic pouf on each number until Santa has a full beard.

If your holiday decor leans classic and nostalgic, this delivery truck will fit right in. Each side of the truck has 12 different drawers that slide open and can be filled with small items. Note that there’s a small light inside the truck window that requires three AAA batteries to work.
