Advent Calendar Planner for Adults
A4, fits US Letter · 26 pages · color and black & white · printable PDF
Want to fill an advent calendar for your partner, your best friend or your parents yourself – personal instead of 24 bits of clutter? This planner gives you 132 ideas you won't find on every free list: each with a specific item or plan, a rough price and its own twist, like the sheet mask where the real gift is the free pass for the couch. Plus the templates that turn it into a finished calendar.
Purchase and download through Etsy. Structure and text are my own; the English edition was translated with AI assistance and checked. The illustrations were made with an AI generator.
A look inside
What's inside
132 IDEAS BY RECIPIENT AND INTEREST
- For your partner: 12 ideas for time together and 12 little gestures
- For friends: 12 ideas
- For parents & grandparents: 12 ideas
- By interest: treats & kitchen, pampering, reading & crafts, sports & outdoors, tech/gaming/music, plants/garden/pets (12 each)
- Almost free: 12 personal ideas – words and deeds
Alcohol-free on purpose: all drink ideas are meant without alcohol.
Each idea has a number, one sentence on how to do it, a rough price tier (free, under 1, 1–3, 3–5, over 5 – in $, £ or €) and tags like "together", "prep needed", "food" or "special door". Sorted by relationship and interest, not by cliché.
