Named best vegan Advent calendar by the Independent newspaper. Here's what they said:
"This charming plastic-free advent calendar is designed to enthral children, but we’ll bet you’ll want one too. It features 24 drawers, each containing an organic vegan “m*lk” chocolate, a 3D cardboard toy to assemble and an educational “fun facts” card. The allergen-free chocolate is chunky, creamy and delicious – our favourite milk chocolate alternative on test – and there are 18 adorable woodland animals and six jolly Christmas characters awaiting discovery. The beautifully illustrated sleeve opens up into a play mat and each drawer can be reversed to create a new picture over the course of December. This box of wholesome, healthy and delicious fun is well worth the price if you have a bit of cash to splash, especially as you could add your own chocolates and reuse it every year."
