Last minute
No advent calendar yet? This one arrives on time.
No parcel, no delivery time, no crafting until midnight: a digital advent calendar is a link. You design it in the browser, start with a ready-made template for all 24 doors and send it via WhatsApp or as a printed QR card. Even after 1 December: the doors of the days that have passed open straight away.
€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
Quick doesn't mean careless.
The templates for partners, family, friends and children are no replacement for your words, but they are a good start. Replace a few texts with your own, add photos, record a greeting. Doors without a photo or recording can be saved as a letter one by one.
In three steps
Design today, give today.
How long it takes depends on how much you want to write yourself.

How late can I give it?
You can give an advent calendar until 24 December. Someone who receives it on 10 December opens doors 1 to 10 straight away and then one more each day, always at midnight in the time zone of their own device.

- Focus on five doors you make completely personal: 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24.
- Use “Several photos” to assign many pictures to doors at once.
- A twenty-second voice message is quicker to record than a long text is to write.
- Vouchers are quick to word and gladly redeemed: breakfast, a day out, a cooking night.
- To hand it over in person, print the QR gift card and put it in a card.
Good to know
Before you start.
Is 1 December too late?
No. If you give the calendar in December, the doors of the days that have passed are open straight away; the rest open daily at midnight.
Do I have to write all 24 doors myself?
All 24 doors must be reviewed and saved before you give the calendar. The template already gives each door a text; you decide what to change.
How does the person receive the calendar?
As a private link, for example via WhatsApp or email, or as a printable QR gift card. They open it in the browser, with no app and no account.
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.
