HearthSong Wooden Gingerbread House Countdown to Christmas Advent Calendar 10.5 x 8 x 9.5 H

Loved everything about them!!! With every penny! Kids LOVED THEM!!

I was looking for a advent calendar that could be cherished for years and even passed down. I saw this and read reviews and figured I would purchase it. It arrived today and I am more than thrilled with it. It is the perfect size, not too big, but not super small. My 2 year old daughter loves it! In fact, she even said "I love it mommy!"As stated in previous reviews the drawers are made of mdf, but who cares. The visible parts are real wood. Also, they won't fit much, a couple of Hershey's kisses or something of the like. Other people are complaining about the size, but come on! It's just supposed to be a treat, not a toy!The only issue I had was one drawer was missing the knob. I messaged the seller and within an hour I received a response and they are shipping a new one. So excellent customer service too!Very pleased and happy to have this new treasure in our house for Christmas! Looking forward to years of use! It is absolutely beautiful!

This is beautifully made and impressed everyone who sees it. The only frustration is that the drawers are VERY small, so you’ll only be able to fit a tiny toy or sweet inside. We’ve literally had to snap little chocolate santa’s in two to fit them in! My daughter loves it though (5yrs).

Lovely item, drawers are big enough to put a treat in them. Quite sturdy.

I purchased 4 of these for kids/grandkids. The 7 grandkids (<8 y/o) love them. The parents not so much. There is no way more than a candy kiss will fit in any of the little boxes/ although I knew this when i made the purchase. I purchased small burlap bags to accompany this item, but parents are guessing how to incorporate the two. The houses are well decorated and delightful to look at and the little drawers work well. Since this is a seasonal item, it will not get much use - thankfully because the materials and construction are iffy. Although with careful handling and storage it should last a number of years. The houses arrived separately. In EACH box, was an invoice noting $27.99. My price through Amazon was $59.96. I tried to resolve this first with the HearthSong (name and number on the invoice) and then with an Amazon customer service rep, but was ultimately unable to do so.I would buy this item again!My child with 3 children of his own could not make this work as intended and has asked me to return it. While it is delightful to look at, it is impractical for a 3 child household.
