3 things I love about you
Specific, not general: how he listens, what makes him laugh, when you feel completely yourself with him.
For your boyfriend
An advent calendar for your boyfriend that sounds like the two of you.
Instead of buying 24 little things, give him 24 moments: a photo of you both, something you would not usually say, your voice in the morning, a voucher for an evening together. The calendar arrives as a link on his phone, and a new door opens at midnight every day.
€14.90 once per calendar VAT included (US: $14.90 plus sales tax).
Designing and previewing is free. You only pay when you send it.
Personal, not generic
What actually makes him happy.
Many people care less about things than about being seen: that you remember that summer evening, his favourite joke, what he achieved this year. A personal advent calendar makes that visible, day by day, with no crafting and no parcel.
Three ideas for your 24 doors
The beginning is often close at hand.
Three suggestions to fill with your own moments.

Quiz
How well do you know us?
A question with three answers about your first date, your favourite place or an inside joke. He taps, the door reveals the answer.

Voucher
Your dream date
He chooses, you plan: cinema, a hike, a cooking night. You pick the date together.

How it becomes your gift.

Handmade, store-bought or digital?
A handmade calendar with 24 little bags is charming if you live together, but it takes time. A store-bought one is quick, but says little about you. A digital calendar arrives on time, even across distance, and can hold photos, videos and your voice. You cannot hold it, but with the QR gift card you can still hand it over in a card.

How his calendar comes together
Choose one of three designs and start with the partner template. It gives all 24 doors a starting point like the list above. Replace what does not fit, upload your own photos and videos and record your voice in the browser.
Designing and previewing are free. When all doors are filled and reviewed, you unlock the calendar once for €14.90 (US: $14.90 plus sales tax) and send him the link, for example via WhatsApp.
Good to know
Before you start.
What if he is not the romantic type?
Humour instead of hearts: a joke, a memory you both laugh about, a quiz about your inside jokes, a voucher for his favourite food. Every door of the template can be rewritten.
Can I give him the calendar in person?
Yes. With the gift link you get a printable gift card with a QR code. Put it in a Christmas card; he scans it with his phone.
Can he see what is behind the doors in advance?
No. Each door opens only on its day, at midnight in the time zone of his device.
How long can the calendar be opened?
Doors unlock daily from 1 to 24 December. Access lasts until 31 January of the following year (UTC). After that, the calendar and its media are deleted, so it is not a permanent photo archive.
How much does it cost to send?
Sending costs €14.90 once per calendar, VAT included; in the US it is $14.90 plus applicable sales tax. There is no subscription. You can design your calendar for free and look at the preview before you decide to buy.
