Dear Subscriber, that gifted this Advent to Noel, THANK YOU again for your generosity. NoBot community appreciates you! I hope your generosity comes back to you in many ways. Happy Holidays!!!

[@mauinoel]

I'm so glad you're enjoying this journey with me! And I hope that all this love fills my gift angel's (tea)cup the way this box filled mine.

[@southerngirlyall6497]

Well said!!

[@californiaglo9666]

Merci beaucoup to the secret santa. ❤

[@mauinoel]

Oui oui!

[@karenprinz5987]

Such an amazing surprise. Definitely love seeing this Advent again!😊

[@mauinoel]

I am glad you are enjoying it!

[@rebecca3220]

What a sweet subscriber! Love watching this box

[@mauinoel]

It was such a lovely surprise!

[@SingleMomReview]

Hello Noel! I love getting soft, cozy socks!

[@mauinoel]

Yes, I like a good fuzzy pair for winter that are more for around the house than shoes.

[@kelseywillow8110]

So nice that this was a gift ❤ we get to enjoy it too

[@mauinoel]

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@terilee959]

What a wonderful gift from your Subscriber. The box and wrapping are always beautiful.

[@mauinoel]

It’s so nice to receive such a beautiful present!

[@tiredandcranky]

Hi Miss Noel. Whatever footwear is comfortable for you. I wear flip-flops and certain house shoes, even in winter. Very well done on the packaging so far. Very pretty.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, the wrapped (vs. bagged) items are the prettiest, but it doesn't matter when I'm tearing into them six at a time I suppose.

[@marybeemsterboer4436]

Thanks to the Secret Santa. The cup us my fave today. However I do love animal print. 😊

[@mauinoel]

That cup is so darling!

[@colleenlong7497]

Happy new years!

[@mauinoel]

Happy new years to you too!

[@priscilla.t.a]

The cup is adorable. It might be a chocolate or coffee cup, which could explain the smaller size. I'd use it, though I think it would also make a great decor piece.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, a little demitasse but I would've rather gotten the bowl or recipe book which were the other possibilities that day.

[@danab602]

Absolutely loving this bonus Advent series. Thank you, generous subscriber!

[@mauinoel]

I'm so happy you're enjoying it!

[@melissak3322]

Happy New Year’s Eve! A little more variation… My soap was rose (your favorite😂). I like the candle holder you received. My version was very different. I received two gold candleholders/adaptors. You can use them as holders on their own or they can be placed into other larger holders as adapters so that the small candles will fit. As someone else mentioned in the comments, I received the recipe book rather than the cup. Mine is dark green with gold sprayed edges. As for the socks, I received the same. Though I never would have purchased them myself, I have worn them with a pantsuit and closed toed heels. 🙂

[@ckidwell1]

How intriguing about the candle holder variation...was it the same set that came in the Feb box last year? Your green book sounds lovely! I hope I'm brave enough to write in it one day...I would truly like to use it 😊

[@mauinoel]

Oh that sounds lovely!

[@melissak3322]

Yep - looks like they are the same as what was in the Feb box. So much for no exact duplicates! I have only gotten the Advent boxes the last few years, so they are new for me. 🙂

[@ckidwell1]

​Very interesting. Glad they were new to you, although I have to say I'd have been happy with another set 😊. 4 would be divine to have!

[@jacquelinegranger5182]

Thank you to your Secret Santa! I love watching this unboxing, and I actually like that you are opening it in January to lengthen the fun! I received the same socks, and think they are pretty, but haven't tried to wear them yet. Not sure what fragrance my soap is, but it is a very strong scent. I received the Alix D Reynis "porcelain bowl" which is now holding the soap - more useful than the teacup, I think. I love the candles & candle holder, but like others, would have really loved two. I tried to source a second one, but only found it on a french site that doesn't ship to the U.S.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, I think I would've liked the bowl more too.

[@cherylbleiler172]

I love the thin tapers and I like that they included the holder. The teacup was a miss for me. I don't drink much in the way of hot beverages, and those that I do, I like a mug.

[@mauinoel]

Yeah, it's a little dainty demitasse that seems kind of sad solo. I'm sure I would've liked the bowl better.

[@JessieMillerUnboxingsandMore]

Hi Noël! Definitely a wonderful angel/secret Santa. The chocolate wafer cookies sound great. The socks, yikes! I wouldn't wear them, I don't get the point. Beautiful horse box for the soap and beautiful soap!

[@mauinoel]

I guess they are just fancy dress socks that kind of look like hose when you wear them with pants/loafers.

[@JessieMillerUnboxingsandMore]

​@@mauinoeloh that's true, good idea!

[@danab602]

Laughed at you saying you might need to get this calendar for next year's Adventures especially if your name is emblazoned on it. Since your name is always on this Advent calendar, I guess your fate is sealed. : )

[@mauinoel]

You got it! I am doomed to this life of unboxing these boxes. 😂

[@danab602]

@mauinoel Teeheehee

[@danab602]

Another good group of items from the MFCH Advent. Can't wait to see days 13-19! I LOVED the candle holder and candles. The candles are a little bit of a repeat, but this new colorway is pretty and because you use them up, they are a great item to be repeated.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, the colorway is very pretty, and I do agree that candles are one of those consumable items that is always a welcome repeat!

[@AmeliaHuckleberry]

That little cup is a demitasse. It’s good for espresso or drinking chocolate.❤ Love it!

[@mauinoel]

Yes, they did refer to it as a "teacup" in their amended list, which was a possibility along with a bowl or recipe book. In my head, I think I just thought for sure I'd get the bowl or recipe book, so the demitasse was just unexpected.

[@SonyaMarieRoberts]

What a winderful advent

[@mauinoel]

Indeed.

[@southerngirlyall6497]

Yes... life is short... use the fancy soap!!!!🫶

[@mauinoel]

Amen! A good new years resolution!

[@ckidwell1]

This is so fun, I laughed so hard at your reaction to the socks! 😂😂 🧦 I got leopard ones too and am IN LOVE. Beauty (and usability) truly is in the eye of the beholder 😂. I love them with loafers and flats, usually in the Fall (I got brown and black leaves last time). I hate socks but these make me feel like I'm not really wearing them yet keeps my shoes from rubbing. Ok, that was probably TMI, so moving on. I got a rose soap....glad you didn't 😂 ⚘️. How nice that your mom will enjoy it. That is quite the riding costume...looks like something we might have seen in the Vogue calendar, although they were all chicks. They did great with the candles and holder (although I totally got my Noel on and wanted a pair). Yes, the cup is the Alix piece. On my original list that I requested, it said a cup, bowl or recipe book from her. I got the book and it has the same coat of arms on it in gold. The book is navy and is to write your favorite recipes in. It's in French, bien sur, and I love it. Really cute cup, though. Almost espresso sized...hmmm.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, weirdly I am OK with solo teacups BUT I like them to have a saucer (to go with my mismatched collection). And yes, I also want another super heavy candle holder. Very true about usability being in the eye of the beholder...there is a certain fuzzy item coming up that I love for it's uniqueness but just can't imagine myself using.

[@ckidwell1]

😂😂 I know what it is you speak of, but will keep mum til it appears. I'll just say this, I've been using it (and loving it) albeit unconventionally 😂🤫

[@joelenethiele8309]

omgoodness...i collect nutcrackers....i need to buy that

[@mauinoel]

For sure!

[@bombom_c]

2nd one. Happy NYE🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mauinoel]

Happy 2025!!

[@saraharriola4626]

Nice items! I like the candles and holder. Have a Happy New Year's Eve!!

[@mauinoel]

Thanks so much! Happy New Year's Eve to you too!

[@karenvandersass]

I would use the demitasse cup in the bathroom or bedroom to hold perfume samples or for earrings I want to remember to wear or something similar. I like using pretty containers for storage so I get to see them regularly. My everyday makeup like concealer and mascara lives in a vintage bowl, and q-tips are in a pretty glass jar.

[@mauinoel]

Yes, I like using various vessels for storage and display...I still need more space though!

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

Third! Happy New Year 🎊🎆 everyone!!

[@mauinoel]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

@ 💜💜🎆🎊

[@alanashubert5320]

First one 😊

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

Man you beat me!!!!!

[@bombom_c]

@@bluecobaltsteph2689

[@mauinoel]

Woohoo! Good way to end the year!

[@jillmarie4155]

I love everything but that tea cup. It looks too small to use to drink tea from and I'm not sure what you could use it for.

[@mauinoel]

True, it is very small but cute.

[@bombom_c]

ok. First of all....REPEAT items! come on!!! Same socks, just a different color..that for me is a REPEAT ITEM. Second, I like the candles and the candle holder, but honestly, I would have loved to see a set of candle holders.

[@mauinoel]

There is the tiniest chance that when I got the socks they were from "that other French box," but that was YEARS ago. If so, I'm still scarred. They didn't note those as a new variation, but...

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

I thought there were some cream colored candles …..?

[@mauinoel]

Yes, in a quarterly box.

[@brookeprescia7739]

The socks are my least favorite item so far, but otherwise this is still a very nice advent box.

[@mauinoel]

At least they don't have ruffles.
