When I was a girl, I loved making jewelry with beads. Then I grew up and had two girls who loved creating things with beads.

So it's not surprising that I love this Advent Calendar Bracelet Kit.

It comes in a box with a small "window" for each day from December first through Christmas Eve. Once Christmas comes, you'll have have a a total of 22 Christmas-themed charm beads (including a snowflake, wreath, candy cane, and Christmas tree) plus 2 bracelet chains, that you can assemble however you like.
