The daily surprise

Go on, open a box.

Each numbered box holds the bricks for one small Christmas build. Tap a number to see the kind of thing waiting inside. Some are tiny scenes, some are characters, a couple have wheels.

In the real calendar the order is a surprise too, so these come out shuffled. Open them all, close them, and they shuffle again.

Two sets of six

Twelve minis, then two bigger builds.

The twelve boxes split into two sets of six. Each mini stands on its own, and the maker designed every set as a 6-in-1, so its bricks also rebuild into one bigger model.

Santa set: six minis and the bigger Santa

The Santa set

Six minis that rebuild into a big brick Santa on a snowy base, with a little tree and a candy cane beside him.

  • Gift sled
  • Reindeer sled
  • Mini tree
  • Little loco
  • Fireside cottage
  • Mini Santa
Sleigh set: six minis and the bigger reindeer sleigh

The sleigh set

Six minis that rebuild into a reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh, lamp, presents and all.

  • Snowman
  • Festive arch
  • Little sleigh
  • Bell reindeer
  • Toy truck
  • Boot and lanterns

Keep the minis, or go big

Line the twelve minis up along a shelf all December, or take them apart and build Santa and the sleigh. Next year, the bricks are all still there to do it again, or they can join the brick bin for whatever comes next.

Half the fun is choosing. You could keep the minis out until New Year, then build the big pair on the last night of the holidays.

How an evening goes

One box, one build, one small tradition.

  1. 1

    Open today's number

    Twelve boxes means twelve evenings. Start whenever suits your family.

  2. 2

    Build the surprise

    Tip out the bricks and follow the paper instructions. A short, focused build, alone or side by side. Nobody needs to rush.

  3. 3

    Add it to the scene

    Set it next to yesterday's. Box by box the shelf fills up with a little Christmas town.

Fifteen seconds

Every build, in one short film.

The box, both sets of six, the two bigger models and all fourteen together. Roughly what your table looks like once the last box is open. Take a look before you choose a pack, so you know exactly what is coming.

Who it's for

For the brick fan on your list.

Builders aged 6 and up

605 small pieces across twelve short builds: enough to be a real build, small enough to finish before bed.

Grown-ups who like to help

Read out the steps, sort the colours, or build the next box yourself. It works as a side-by-side evening.

A break from the screens

Twelve evenings of something to do with your hands: sorting, snapping and setting each new build on the shelf.

A gift that's ready as it is

The festive box is the gift wrap. Two or four calendars cover siblings and cousins.

Questions

Good to know.

What age is it for?

It's recommended for ages 6 and up. It contains small parts, so it isn't suitable for children under 3. Younger builders may enjoy it with a grown-up alongside.

Which build is in which box?

That's the surprise. Each box holds one mini build from the Santa set or the sleigh set, and you find out when you open it.

Do I have to start on a certain day?

No. There are twelve boxes, so pick any twelve evenings you like.

What if a piece is missing?

Email support@blockadventcalendar.com with your order number and a photo of the build, and we'll sort it out with you.

Does it come with instructions?

Yes. The maker lists paper instructions as included with the set.

Is it a good gift for two kids?

The 2-calendar pack gives each builder their own twelve boxes, so nobody has to wait for a turn. The 4-calendar pack covers a bigger family.

What does shipping cost?

US shipping is free on orders over $50, so the 2 and 4 calendar packs ship free. A single calendar pays $8.95. We ship to the US and Canada, and shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are packed in 1–3 business days. Once shipped, orders to the US and Canada have 5 to 10 day delivery. These are estimates, not guarantees, so allow extra time if you're giving it as a gift.

How do I reach you?

Email support@blockadventcalendar.com. If something arrives damaged, write within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a photo and we will put it right with the carrier.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery if it's unused, complete and in its original box. Email us first for a return number; return shipping is paid by the customer. Full details are in the refund policy.

Twelve evenings of something new.

One numbered box, one small build, and a little Christmas scene that grows every night.
