# About — Advent Calendar Gifts

Advent Calendar Gifts is a single-subject site about one December ritual: the advent calendar. It exists because calendar season now behaves like a retail season of its own — launches in late summer, sellouts in autumn, a fortnight of panic in November — and almost nobody explains the format before selling it to you.

Every guide here is a buying guide. We explain what a category actually contains, how many doors is normal, what makes a price-per-door claim honest or hollow, and which type of calendar suits which recipient. We do not open, taste, score or rank calendars we have not been sent, because none are sent to us.

The site is funded by Amazon affiliate links. They never decide what appears in a guide, and they never change what you pay.

## Who writes here

Nora Whitfield — Seasonal retail editor. Former retail buyer writing about advent calendars: what the categories contain, how the door math works, and when in the season to buy.
