Gift ideas for the Gondola Advent Calendar

So, now you have it: your gondola advent calendar . Maybe you bought it for yourself, for your partner or for your children. But no matter who gets it, we hope everyone who receives it enjoys it. The next step is to find 24 little things that suit the recipient... It's a challenge every year.

Of course, the special thing about the gondola advent calendar is that it can be hung across the room or in front of the window, but at the same time this somewhat limits the choice of gifts. Here are a few tips to help you remain flexible with your ideas and hide a slightly larger or heavier gift in a gondola.

How to pack large and heavy gifts in the Gondola Advent Calendar

Tip 1:

The gift is too big for the gondola? You can put a piece of paper in a gondola for a scavenger hunt, so the recipient has to look for it and you are completely free in terms of size and weight. Instead of a scavenger hunt, it can also be a quiz, a puzzle or another clue. 

Tip 2:

If you want to put something in the gondola advent calendar that is too heavy, then simply put the heavily packed gondolas together in a place that you also use, for example on a windowsill or sideboard. It is best to decorate the whole thing for Christmas straight away, because the gondolas look very pretty even when they are standing up. Small trees and branches go well with them, so that it looks like a mountain forest. You can also wrap larger gifts in suitable wrapping paper and place the gondola on top.
