I love that idea of doing a reverse Advent Calendar... especially with kids while they are learning so much about generosity and compassion. Love the way your mother your littles!

[@ianhoney9931]

“Take my nose off” So Adorable!

[@emilycatherinerowbotham1966]

“My nose is stuck” made my day😂😍

[@amanjotkaur6881]

Emily thank goodness for people like you...not only for the reverse advent calendar but also your focus on the environment. I really appreciate you spreading awareness and using your influence to make a difference!

[@miabrammer]

My 6 year olds class actually did something like this! They all collected two toys from home that they did not use but were still nice. And the teachers wrap it and give to an organisation that gives it to struggeling mums/families that cant afford a christmas calendee for their kids. Such a good idea and teach them about beeing helpful 🎋🎁✌

[@selinahughes7347]

Seeing everything you bought for the food bank really gave me a lump in my throat. Such a lovely idea. Last year we bought our boys really expensive advent calendars & both me & my husband said it made us kind of uncomfortable them getting a gift every single day...especially as I only remember getting a picture in my advent calendars as a kid (old) 😂! I’ve always loved the shoe box idea especially after seeing the video of the African kids opening them, it was heartbreaking & amazing at the same time. Love what you’ve done here Emily. Xx

[@amandahaynes9205]

Lovely that you're teaching your kids how just be kind in this world....it needs it 🤗🤗🤗....great job!!

[@c.trueman2204]

Love the reverse Advent Calendar! Some of our friends from church have been doing them for years. Also, it is so great that you included tampons, pads, and shower gel. I know those items are always needed at our local food banks. Other items that our food bank often needs - diapers and baby formula.

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I love the reverse advent calendar idea too! Never heard of this!

[@barbaraporter8147]

Such a kind hearted person.

[@catherinemohamad5632]

What a lovely idea to do a reverse advent calendar

[@heatherhardaker3457]

I love your top ! And how kind of you to help other people out !! Xx

[@KristinaBarder]

Love the reverse advent calendar ❤️ We might steal that idea. Just so you know, paper plates are not recyclable. Once you use them, they become contaminated (for lack of a better word). Since they can't separate the food from the plate, it won't be recycled. When we have parties, we like to borrow plates and silverware from friends, family, and neighbors. We keep a tub of soapy water somewhere and ask that people empty their plate of leftover food, then put it in the tub. No stuck on food, and clean up is a breeze! The best way to reduce waste is to consume less 👍

[@danielleturner7603]

Ahhh such a lovely idea to give back at Christmas! It must be a difficult time of the year for some who are less fortunate! I can only imagine the difference you are making to some people’s lives! Thank you for sharing this you have inspired me to help others more! So kind xx

[@DorkaKardos]

This is such a lovely idea! We are going to do it this year and I'll share with my friends ~ I think many people will love the idea just as much. Thank you Emily for spreading kindness as always, our world really needs it right now. xx

[@alanarosa1012]

Everyone's been talking about Emily's reverse advent calendar and I tho k it's brilliant that you're raising awareness. People seem to forget about people in need at christmas so thank you for shouting this out. I'll be going to a Birmingham food bank in December to donate with my kids. They're 6, 3 & 2 so never to early to teach them Christmas isn't always about giving me a list as long as my arm of things they want because some people don't have that luxury.

[@positivetransformationswit6207]

thoroughly enjoyed this video and love that you are spreading the word about the reverse advent calendar 💖💖💖

[@sophiesbests3317]

I love that idea! We love to do a big basket around christmas for the homeless. But advent calendar sounds amazing! Thank you. You gave me the confidence to start a channel, so thank you as well for being inspiring. Love to you all x

[@miaford-nichols]

The reverse advent calendar is a great idea, it's such a lovely thing to do!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

The reverse advent calendar idea is so great! What a great teaching experience too!

[@lookingformymarbles3195]

I’ve never heard of the reverse advent calendar before, but I think I’m going to find out if I can do it in my area.....I want to teach my 4.5 year old that giving is as much fun as receiving! Thanks for the idea!!! 👍🏻

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I love the reverse advent calendar idea too! Never heard of this either!

[@nina-ph7mw]

In my primary school we did the reverse advent calendar in year 6. Love the idea x

[@jessicaocallaghan800]

Could you do a video on the differences you see between living In Canada and living here? Really interested in the differences between our culture and how children are raised etc. Fab video x

[@traskisgi4640]

Thank you for the idea, going to do the same, already printed a list of what is needed at my local food bank. Thank you!

[@sexybetsy7]

I always use that pink grapefruit and basil shower gel. It smells amazing! The reverse advent calendar is a really great idea too xx

[@CaitlinandGreg]

LOL "How MUCH!" sounds like my husband. Thanks for bring us along on this video. We will definitely be back to watch more in the future!

[@gracelogan4628]

I love the little raisin yogurt flakes as well

[@sianakanazireva5056]

Love all your videos! You are the sweetest person ever! Keep doing your thing!

[@TamaraLB96]

Love the reverse advent calendar will be doing this with my guide group and then with my little boy once he is old enough to understand. Such a good idea to do who ever came up with this is incredible 💙

[@denisefonda2815]

Emily, you certainly did well at Poundland. I think that your idea of a Reverse Advent Calendar is a fantastic way to teach your boys to help others.

[@vlox100]

I love the reverse advent calendar idea! December is a big time for giving in our house, my girls have a joint birthday party and we ask for no presents but an unwrapped toy to donate instead! I think it’s win win, doing something great for other people, helping my girls understand how fortunate they are and also we don’t end up with a tonne of ‘stuff’ in our house! We’ll be doing this as well and asking school

[@eilidhcampbell7894]

The reverse advent calendar is a lovely idea. I can't wait to see your new kitchen 😍

[@babycakessalone]

Emily you’ve helped me sooo much during this pregnancy Such a lovely spirit 🙏🏾💪🏾💜

[@miina7776]

Great Love Poundland Hauls thanks Emily! xx

[@brionyt664]

My year group created 6 reverse advent calendars last year I think it's such an amazing idea and goes towards a great cause! ☺️ Donating them all to our local homeless centre/ foodbank was also amazing! I think it's so great to educate your children about gratitude and appreciation for what they have, you're never too good to help others and I always do acts of kindness whenever I can as I was taught at a young age (I'm 16 now!!!) 💗💗

[@ArtsyCupcake]

The reverse advent calendar idea is so great! What a great teaching experience too!

[@nina-ph7mw]

We did it at my school too!

[@chocolatewestie]

I’ll be doing the reversible advent calendar for sure. We also do the Christmas shoe boxes with school.

[@karenbuckingham8368]

[@ciaranea9064]

Oh my god Emily I love the reverse calendar idea.. you give me such inspiration and ideas... even though I have no children I love watching your videos on hacks you have and I will always remember them for my future.. also I live in the West of ireland and have set up a small business that helps the community with everything to do with a computer whether it's booking a flight, applying a passport or photocopying something we do it all.. I know that my comment has gone completely off tangent but I just want to get my point across that your videos really amaze me and you inspire me with my own little business.. thank you ♥️x

[@michellehooper5067]

We were gonna do the reverse BUT I got into the routine of putting a bin bag at the stairs once a week, fill it with whatever we haven't used for six months every week (if that makes sense) then give to charity. However tomorrow I'm sending almost all my sons' toys to a family who's mammy is suffering from cervical cancer, she's 26 and won't be here for Christmas so we are trying to help her four children smile Xmas day xxx

[@13inky]

I’ve never heard of a reverse advent calendar. Such a lovely idea!! Thank you for highlighting it. I’ll try to remember to do it in a couple years when my son is old enough to understand (and we hopefully have some disposable £ to spend!)

[@zannamu]
