So last year allegramente sewed fabric advent calendars for myself and elemnar, which she stocked with tea and chocolate (this all started in 2015 when myself and elemnar gave allegramente an advent cabinet of tea). The plan this year is that elemnar and I will restock the fabric calendars with suitable surprises and then exchange them this weekend.

Of course, half the fun is finding what to stock it with. Now saying what I've bought would spoil it, so instead I shall hopefully puzzle elemnar by mentioning that the contents of her advent calendar involved a special trip to Arundel, an online order from somewhere in Portsmouth, and a trip to the local supermarket...
