DIY Wooden Advent Calendar Kit: 24 Drawers to Build Together

This make-your-own advent calendar kit comes as pre-cut, engraved wooden pieces.

Fill the drawers, open one a day, and refill them next December.

How the Kit Goes Together

Every piece is already laser-cut and engraved. The pieces fit together like building blocks: no glue, no tools, no woodworking skills needed. Children can safely handle the parts, but they will need an adult to help with the assembly. It makes a nice family project before the first drawer even opens. The product photos include an assembly video, if you like to see the steps before you start.

If a piece breaks while you assemble the calendar, let us know: we replace it free.

What to Put in the Drawers

Each drawer measures 54 x 30 x 32 mm (2⅛" x 1³⁄₁₆" x 1¼"). That is room for a chocolate, a few candies, a small piece of jewelry, a tiny toy or a folded note with a riddle or a plan for the day.

Not sure what to put in the drawers? We put together over 50 filler ideas that actually fit these dimensions, for kids, couples and adults.

Order Dates: Delivery Guaranteed by December 1

The first drawer opens on December 1. To be sure your calendar arrives in time, order by November 12.

Ordering later? Many customers still order in December. We ship every calendar quickly, but delivery before December 1 is no longer guaranteed.

Tracked shipping is free on orders of $50 or more, and the calendar qualifies on its own.

A Wooden Advent Calendar You Keep

A chocolate calendar is finished on Christmas Eve. This one goes back in the closet and comes out again next December, with new surprises in the drawers. It is made by our family workshop, and our customers rate it 5 out of 5 stars.
