I love this series and hope you do it again next year. I was only going to open Advent calendars vicariously through you this year and not get one for myself. But then at World Market I found a Universal Yums one for about $30. It has been wonderful. Each day contains 4 candies so you can share with you family or friends, and it comes with a cute booklet with descriptions of the candies and a March Madness-style bracket so you can vote for your favorites as you go along. I highly recommend this if Universal Yums does it again next year.

This was a good day! I love the washi tape - it can be used to hold paper down or create negative space in your art so even the red and green can be useful year round but that sake cup is gorgeous. Yeah I’d want to but I REALLY like that!

[@cassandraboyer7068]

Too cute how you checked out the cookie at the end. ❤

[@saraharriola4626]

Fortune cookies look delish and festive! I also enjoy the Liberty London perfume for today.

[@mauinoel]

Yeah today was a good day!

[@ellenkroon8444]

The sake cup is my fav today. That fortune cookie is crunchy!

[@mauinoel]

I know! Who knew the mic on my camera was so good?

[@jenmay5768]

Those look like yummy fortune cookies!

[@kimjones199]

I think you are particularly well-suited boxes that require glasses - LOL. You are a lovely reader!

[@kimjones199]

I agree about the Vogue book in place of the small cards. it would be a wonderful book to bring out on the coffee table for the holidays! I'd mention it to them with feedback about the annoyance of missing or displaced cards!

[@kimjones199]

LOL Crunchy!!!

[@shelgraham2094]

I’m super curious about the Liberty London purse perfume so I’m picking that as my favorite today. 🤣

[@mauinoel]

It's fun to get new fragrances.

[@karenvandersass]

My favorite is the fortune cookies. They look delicious!

[@mauinoel]

They were!

[@priscilla.t.a]

The sake cup is very cute, and the pore-minimizing mask sounds great. I agree, fortune cookies should have some intrigue.

[@mauinoel]

Right?! I felt a bit let down by the fortune cookies in this one too.

[@cherylbleiler172]

If you do the series again, I would like to see the Hawaiian version of Delicious Foods Delivered, and whatever the Literary Book Club does.

[@kimjones199]

A Lady Fortune calendar might be good fun if you do it again!

[@brandib3478]

Noël you had me giggling so much when you forgot to try the cookie and just popped the whole thing in your mouth. That's absolutely something I would've done not realizing how big the cookie was. You are too cute! Thank you for trying it anyhow, and for doing the Advent calendar series. It's been fun as usual. ❤ Big hugs! I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. 🎄 PS- my favorite item today would probably be the Sake cup, followed by washi tape. 😊

[@mauinoel]

Merry Christmas! I was afraid cookie shards would go everywhere if I tried to bite it! Oops. Glad it made you smile though.

[@brandib3478]

@@mauinoel I just love that you are so real and don't cut that stuff out. You are my favorite channel. It's a fun one. ❤️

[@mauinoel]

Aw, that’s so nice of you to say. Yeah I figure the flubs and funny moments make it a little more fun and relatable.

[@brandib3478]

@@mauinoel exactly ❤️

[@AmeliaHuckleberry]

This is one of the best advent days yet. Beautiful items. My favorite is the sake cup and my second favorite would be the fortune cookies. I’ll even put a third favorite this time… The pore minimizer mask.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, today was good because it felt like a well-balanced box.

[@sharptongue1190]

Rte 66 fortune cookies for the win. Love them!

[@mauinoel]

They were delicious if not that exciting fortune-wise.

[@marybeemsterboer4436]

My favorite today is the sake cup. Too bad there wasn't 2 of them. 😊

[@mauinoel]

Yeah, they would've been up there for top gift period if there had been 2.

[@shamn7526]

Rte 66 was the winner for me today! Loved your taste test lol

[@mauinoel]

Bahaha. Sorry I didn't get to say much about it.

[@danab602]

I was most excited about Bokksu at the beginning of this year's AdventUres, but Route 66 has been the winner for me. It's pricey, but I enjoy hearing about the local treats and I especially like that it is a calendar not everyone else is doing. I would love to see the Hawaii version of the calendar next year. I think you would bring an interesting perspective to it.

[@kimjones199]

I agree! I think it is becoming my favorite this season and was wondering if they have a Tennessee one for me next year, but for Nöel, I think Hawaii would be supercool!

[@thefunkycold1]

Oooh, this Vogue calendar is making the quiz tricky with these cards. For that reason (and the price) it is NOT my favorite. But I have enjoyed seeing the ladies outfits. I think my favorite boxes this year are Bokksu (because it's beautiful and for the lifestyle items) & Delicious Food Delivered (for the food & supporting local businesses).

[@mauinoel]

Good reasons. If Bokksu just had a couple more lifestyle items, it would be really great.

[@thefunkycold1]

@mauinoel They did set a high standard on Day 1 with adorable fox.

[@ckidwell1]

That was so funny when you shoved the cookie in at the very end 😂. I've never seen dipped fortune cookies. Might actually like them then, rather than feeling like I was chewing on vanilla flavored styrofoam. Sake cup wins it (I don't imagine many of those come in calendars) but perfume is intriguing. Maybe if you'd at least get a second cup and chopstick set, but not necessarily matching, it would feel a little more complete. Boo on Vogue, no story card. Is that a big baguette in the picture 😂😂 I couldn't tell and, hey, without the story we're working blind here! Hope you can Plinko-find that one, too. Don't forget to read us the day 3 card!! 😊

[@mauinoel]

Don't worry! I found the other card and read both!

[@thefunkycold1]

I mailed your Xmas card today because there's always 1 more thing to do so you might not get it before 2025. I am as bad as Grabie. 🤣 Happy Holidays!

[@mauinoel]

Something to look forward to -- thanks, Barbara.

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

I don’t think liberty London is as good as it was last year (same with vogue even though I know you didn’t unbox it)
