Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This product is very cute and can be displayed year-round, not just for the Christmas Season. I was disappointed that the tree covers the only shutter on the back window of the cabin (it would have been cute to have that shutter showing. The tree should have been positioned over the missing shutter on the window).

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought this cabin for my grandson. Animals are cute and durable for little ones. Anticipate years of enjoyment!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This advent calendar is cute. I was disappointed with the quality of the animals and the cabin. The cabin could have been smaller in my opinion and it's a little difficult to get the animals out of the compartments. With such a large cabin a light could have been fixed inside to light the top window up. The door could have opened. I think there should have been more done to the outside of the cabin, ie. trees, outdoor stuff to put the animals on. I think the quality of the advent calendar does not live up to the price.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is adorable, and is exactly as pictured. Every part was there, [...] My 3yr old grandaughter loved the little doors, and a surprize behind each one. She is too young to get the purpose,yet, but she will love it for many years to come.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We bought the Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar for our daughter. We all ended up loving it more than we thought, and what a great way to celebrate the holiday! It's such a remarkable piece, everyone who saw it commented on how special it is. Our daughter enjoyed pulling out the little animals every day and had them all arranged around the cabin. It will be something we treasure for decades!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

As a child I loved playing with the little baby Jesus from the manger. I imagine my grandchildren will love 25 little animals to enjoy!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

A gift for the grandchildren. The animals are well presented and the quality is good. This is an advent calendar that will be used over and over. The price is a little dear, but probably worth it in the overall scheme of things. The item is very decorative and seems to be well made.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We own a log cabin, so when I found this woodland cabin advent calendar, I was eager to buy it! My 2-year son looked forward to getting the animals out daily and also loved playing with them a bit while they were set out. I simply love that it matches our house!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought two of these, one for each of my son's young families. Their kids loved setting these up, and enjoyed seeing all the woodland creatures and finding them behind a door each day. I would add a green felt "lawn, and some "snow", around the house. Nice display for Christmas, and good quality.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Good way to mark the days to Christmas...talking about the animals, placing them and wondering what animal will come next...great activity for child and adult.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

'Got this to go with our Northwoods cabin. It couldn't be more perfect. 'May leave it out year round for my granddaughter to play with.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This was a great way (minus the candy)to celebrate the coming of Christmas. We took turns opening the doors and laughed about who picked what animal (my son picked a skunk - too funny). The family can use this for years and still be surprised. Just make sure to keep track of the pieces and make a rule that no pieces leave the "cabin."

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is a great way to count down the days til Christmas with children.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This will be handed down to future generations in our family! This was a gift for my husband to honor our 31st wedding anniversary!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The best advent calendar I've seen. My daughter (an adult by the way) looked forward to each door opening and was sorry when the days were up. Product was all and more than described.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is the most original advent calendar I've ever seen. The construction is excellent. Each animal is very well made with the painting detailed. How fun it was to open a door each day to find a "forest" animal to place around the cabin. It's nice the cabin is attached to a lazy susan so it turns easily. I highly recommend. Absolutely no complaints!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My grandchildren were delighted and their parents were very pleased as well. The children couldn't wait to open the doors and discover which creature was hidden inside! Great childhood memories are made here.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Great gift for those with kids for to start fond memories and Christmas traditions.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This can be used to entertain children any time of year not just before Christmas. They loved the little toys that fit into it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My son wished to propose on Christmas Day and with our German heritage in mind, he looked for a perfect Advent Calendar to give his fiance-to-be. He tucked the diamond ring into a little velvet pouch and slipped it behind the 24th little door...imagine her surprise & delight...upon finding not one of the dear little creatures she'd found behind each of the other doors, but an invitation to celebrate as an engaged couple this holiday season! Beautifully made, intricate animals, swivel base, nice tradition to uphold in a new household, with special memories attached!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Live in mountain cabin; sent advent house to our grandchildren in Florida, and they love it!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Great unique take on the advent calendar, easy to set up, everyday adds another cute animal to the crowd! Will use for years to come!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I saw this calendar in the catalog a few years ago and I am a huge animal lover so naturally I fell in love with it. I didn't have any children at the time so I didn't purchase one. Since then I have had a daughter and I spent about 2 full days on the internet searching for it because I couldn't remember where I originally saw it. I was SO excited when I finally found it. I purchased it for my daughter and although she is only 2 she LOVES it! She loves animals as much as I do so it is the perfect advent calendar for her. We have it on our kitchen table and every night she is more than willing to eat her dinner in anticipation of opening another door. We also use it as a counting tool because after we open the daily door, we count how many more doors we get to open before Christmas. The only down side and the reason why I only rated 4 stars is because the animals are pretty fragile. We already have a deer with no horns and a bunny with no ears but of course our daughter is only 2 and we've tried hard to teach her that she can't play with the animals. Other than that, I love the cabin and especially love the variety of animals.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Our 6 yr old loves this calendar. He plays with the animals every day after finding the new one. And we love that it isn't candy treats. Friends of ours fell in love with it when they saw it and are thinking of buying it for their kids.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Perfect gift for little ones!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The Woodland cabin is just adorable, but the animals are not to scale and I think the bunny could eat the Moose! My entire family enjoys finding a new animal each day.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I looked at the advent cabin for a long time before deciding it would be worth the money. I bought it as an alternative to chocolate advent calendars, and thought my kids would love how cute and compelling the little creatures are. It was worth the money and I hope we can use it for years to come. The only disadvantage is that the little figures are more breakable than I had thought. Older children would be fine with it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought this for my niece and her children and they just love it. They look forward to putting in a little animal each day and call to tell me what it is and describe it to me. The funny thing is they are only 2 and 3 so you can imagine the conversation!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought the advent calender for my nephew. When it arrived, I played with it for at least an hour. It is very cute, and he absolutely loves it!!!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We sent the Woodland Cabin to our granddaughters for Christmas this year.
They are enjoying opening the windows and arranging the animals etc. and
will enjoy this for many years to come.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

we all just love it..the most amazing advent calendar..adults are jealous and want one..kids think its marvelous!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased this for my granddaughter and her family so they could start making their own memories. It is a very nice quality, I did think
from the picture that it was made out of wood so I was a bit disappointed to realize it was plastic.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I have several similar wooden advent calendars in my collection. I was very disappointed in the quality of this one, primarily of the little animals. Some were so delicate some broke (antlers, etc) just unwrapping them[...]. Also, the dimensions were very off: a very tiny moose and a deer, smaller than the large squirrel and chipmunk for example. Lastly, and of less importance, it comes with a tree to attach to the base "with provided hardware" which was not provided.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Sent it for Advent two my grandaughters, ages 4 & 6...they set it up on thanksgiving Night..and had to wait to Dec. 1st to start it. Their father (my son) grew up in a log cabin and they're thrilled to have a house like Daddy's! They plan to use it every year, so I hope it stores well.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

All four(4)of my boys just love this advent calendar! It has become an instant tradition. They don't forget a day! Works well as a holiday display and the swivel base makes it easy to turn so you can see everything. It would have been nice to have a special box to keep it in. Other than that it was well worth the money spent! Happy Holidays!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Can't find anything bad about this product except it was a little more than I would have liked to spend. I saw it last year and checked periodically for it to go on sale. Not even in July! So I bought it this year because I loved it so much. The kids love it and I'm glad I bought it. It's so unique!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Gift for adult children with grandchildren. Great gift...special to have from year to year.

Thank you Gardners!!!!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I have been looking for the perfect Advent Calendar for 35 years, at last I found it! I will never have to buy another and I will be able to pass this down to my grandchildren. I have had many, many comments on how cute it is and where did I get it. Thank you for producing such a wonderful product.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Grandkids loved it, parents appreciated no candy!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased this advent calendar to begin a family tradition for my daughter's first Christmas. The quality, intricate details and charm of the decorative piece is sure to become a treasured keepsake she will want to share with her children!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought four as family gifts for Christmas. Ages 4 through 50 have all called or written to exclaim how great it was. All plan to use it for years. Perfect way to finish Christmas shopping early with a gift all the children involved enjoy each day before all the other gifts arrive. One coyote was taken to show and tell.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Grandkids love to come over and open the doors to see what awaits inside.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I always loved opening the windows on an advent calendar when I was a child, so I bought this for my grandson to start the tradition in his family. It was an especially appropriate choice since we have a mountain cabin that he loves visiting. An advent cabin doesn't get any better than this. The cabin itself is beautiful with nice detailing, the doors have a magnetic catch so they close firmly and are fun to open and shut, the woodland critters are very cute (and much better than chocolate!), and the cabin comes on a rotating stand. With each new animal, my grandson decides whether to hang it on the big Christmas tree behind the cabin or to put it on the base around the cabin. He even settled the bear cub into the chair on the front porch. I wouldn't normally spend this much on an advent calendar, but this was really worth it because it is a fun and educational Christmas tradition that I expect to last for years.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

my boys are loving this advent calendar. it really fits perfectly with our surroundings and our pseudo-waldorf home philosophy. i really like that it's a non-commercial item and doesn't promote the candy consumption that just naturally happens this time of year.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The advent cabin arrived in excellent condition, nicely made and very attractive. The little animals were not as attractive as expected nor was the variety there.
This was bought for my 10 year old grandson who loves things like this. He was not impressed;
I probably would not buy this again.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought as gift for 3-year-old animal lover - he's restraining himself to open only one per day, but it's very, very hard. NOTE: wreath is already in place so not sure what the 24th door will offer.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I GAVE THIS ADVENT HOUSE TO MY GRANDDAUGHTERS, 5 & 3. THEY LOVE IT BECAUSE IT IS EASY TO USE AND FUN TO FIND WHICH ANIMAL THEY'LL FIND ON THEIR DAY TO OPEN A DOOR. IT IS A TEACHING AID FOR SHARING, NUMBERS,AND ANIMALS. THIS ADVENT HOUSE GETS A CHILD AWAY FROM THE COMMON ADVENT CALENDARS USING CANDY AS DAILY PRIZES. I'D RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY FAMILY WITH CHILDREN 3 AND UP

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Since opening this package my family and I are having non stop fun.. Not only is this fun for young children the older married children enjoy coming over to see what is behind those doors . I'm very pleased that I purchased this Woodland home ,

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

It's resin, so the quality of workmanship isn't as fine as some materials can be. Still, the detail is sweet, and you get the right feeling looking at it. The doors open to reveal tiny animals that are of the same quality of the house - not ceramic, not hand carved wood, but well done - and made so that we can afford them (if only barely—anticipating DECADES of use). I anticipate that children will find this cabin fascinating. I've tried a lot of concept calendars over the years, but I think this is finally one I can keep for years and be delighted with.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought this for my 5 year old, great-niece who is being treated for leukemia at a hospital during this Christmas season. I wanted something that she could enjoy as she counts down to this holiday. Her mother said she loved opening all the little doors to find out what was behind them!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Waited last year until the sales, and there were none left. Well worth the price. I am enjoying it this year, but will give it to my daughter's family for future use. It will become a tradition.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I love the Advent woodland calemdar. Great way to bring in the Christmas season.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Grandchildren are enjoying new spin on an old holiday tradition.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We have only opened two of the doors so far, but we are looking forward to all of the surprises! The cabin exudes quality and the animals (at least the two we have seen so far) are really cute.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased one for each of my 3 children's young families. With the grandkids all under the age of 4, I foresee many Christmas memories in the future. I know they will enjoy opening the doors to find their animal friends! Which animal will become that special one they all hope to get? More lasting and meaningful than a candy advent calendar.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Very cute, daughters love it. Seems of durable quality (just bought it). Only real complaint is that there's really nowhere to put most of the animals as you take them out. Granted, some hang by strings, but other than those few, the rest just kind of get stuck on the surface around the cottage, and they get knocked around when the cottage spins. I think previous models had a surface to put them on, and that seems a better design.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This 'woodsy' advent calendar is adorable. Each day presents a different wildlife creature. The quality of the product for the price paid is exceptional.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I think the concept is fantastic. I purchased this for my 4 year old as an alternative to chocolate advent calendars with the idea it could become an annual tradition and family collectible. I think my expectations were unrealistic given the age of my son. I love the magnetic doors and numbers, they're good quality. He's counting and so it's very fun this year. The animals look and feel different than pictured in the catalog. The quality is disappointing and I sense once they're dropped a few times, they'll break. I will keep the cabin as I think we'll enjoy it but I anticipate needing to replace the animals, wish they looked nicer, were scaled-to-size better, were more durable, etc. Especially for the price. Note - the product was made in China and looks like it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

It is a great cabin with easy to open doors that stay closed with magnet. There is plenty of room to place the contents of the doors, but the cabin is not bulky. Fun for the kids especially.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The cabin is well constructed - the swivel base is a nice touch. The animals are adorable although they are too small for very young children. This advent calendar is something that will be treasured and used at our house for years to come.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is a beautifully made item, with lots of homespun charm. Gave it to a collector of advent calendars and it was a hit. Love the detailing.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is a really lovely addition to our house decorations for the holiday season. I have not seen anything like it at all before, and the fact that it's on a swivel base is great. Only caution is that because all the animals have to fit in the little compartments, they are not exactly to scale--the bullfrog is about as big as the moose! But I think that just adds to the rusticness of it. I am expecting a lot of "ooohs" and "cool" when people & kids see it this season.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Holiday traditions are important in our family and now that my son and his family live on the west coast I wanted to give them something special that they would have every year to use, enjoy and remember us with. They love this. I just wish it was something that could be left out year round. The details on the house and animals are perfect. My granddaughter is such an animal lover that she will remember this into her adulthood, I'm sure.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I liked it so much that I bought another one and sent it to my granddaughter.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I really like this...but I think it so much better...and more " classy" without the tree attached....it looks much better without it in my opinion....

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I, Gramma, live in a log cabin, over the river & through the woods, literally. All 4 grandkids will have their own family "countdown" Cabin for generations to come. It's perfect!!!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I ordered this as soon as I saw it because I didn't want it to be sold out! The kids can not wait until December 1st when they can open the first door!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My daughter is an animal lover and not only does she count down the days to Christmas but she as an unique opportunity to recognize and learn about woodland birds and animals. This log cabin calendar is well made and attentive to details.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Grandkids realy loved them.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased this for my god-daughters for them to have year after year. It is perfect because they are woodland animal fanatics!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The Woodland Cabin is a great decorating piece in any forest, lodge or rustic setting. Being in my 19th year as a GS Troopleader I am already enjoying it and look forward to bringing it to life in December. It will be a big hit at our Mother Daughter Christmas Tea.
It was a bit more expensive than I usually spend on decorations, but worth every cent. Thank you for making this quality piece available.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

our granddaughter will love this

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

little cabin advent calender is a christmas gift. i'm hopeing that after the holdiay i can pack it up and send to another family member for their christmas next year.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I love this. I took it to my office, and soon had a group of people stop by each morning to see what the new animal would be. I do wish that the animals were all at close to the same scale (forget the mooses -- ducks, rabbits, etc., would work better together).

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is an adorable addition to our Christmas decorations, and although it's just my husband and me so far, we enjoy finding the creature for each day and placing him somewhere on/around the little cabin. It's just the cutest thing.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I thought it look cute in the picture, but it was even better when I got it. I know it is for Christmas but I use it as a decoration in the cabin year round.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

What a nice surprise! The detail of the animals and house is wonderful. I was looking for a different advent calendar and this one fit the ticket. It will look great during the holidays and for years to come.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We enjoyed sharing the calendar with our children and grandparents. The calendar enabled us to teach and review the names of animals. Even my Dad, who has Alzheimers, enjoyed finding and trying to name the animals hidden behind each door!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Actually, I unpacked my Woodland Cabin and checked it out, but have not used it yet as I got it after Christmas. It seems to be very well made and per other reviews it seems to handle being played with by grandchildren. It is different then your usually Christmas Advent Calender and I LOVE animals so this is right up my alley. I am looking forward to Christmas 2009 when I will dislay it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I was looking for an advent calendar that could be a yearly family tradition and this is exactly it! The whole thing is very sturdy so I'm confident we can bring it out year after year. My son gave it the true test....opening and closing all the doors...and it is very well made. I like how each little animal is different. The scale could be truer, but that is way too picky. We can't wait for next December!!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

this is a great advent calendar that will last a lifetime. it is durable and easy to store.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Heirloom family keepsake and treasure to enjoy for years.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought two. Both were gifts for our grandchildren and they loved the cabin, etc.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is top quality, unique gift, and makes for a treasured holiday tradition to be used and enjoyed year after year.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

What a delightful way to keep track of the days before Christmas. But you can display it all thru the year as well. So unique and a pleasure to look at!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My kids loved it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My husband and I ordered two of Woodland Cabin Advent calendars for our grandchildren. When they called us to tell us how much they LOVED them, we ordered one for ourselves. It is a great idea and well made and everyone loves the little animals - many of our visitors commented on how wonderful it was to see such a nice advent calendar without candy in it!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The cabin is on a turn table so you can see all sides easily - the animals are well made - alot of detail - all around wonderful product. Grandkids love it (so does grandma)

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This was purchased as a December birthday present for my daughter. She and her family are hikers and campers and I thought this would be a nice keepsake for her to use yearly. Fits in well with their 'woodsy' theme. We were all delighted when she openned it. It is very well built and absolutely lovely. Only negative is that some of the animals are broken or maybe were not cast perfectly. Part of the deer's antler is missing and several other animals have little broken parts. She is delighted with it though.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased this gift to help with the question, "How many days 'til Christmas?" from a friend's 6 year old son. He looked forward to pulling out an animal each day. Very unique look, quality construction (I think this look will be shared with the next generation).

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The cabin spins so a child can place that day's critter just where he or she wants it.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

A nature lovers advent calendar
Hopefully will become a family heirloom
My one concern: How the animals will hold up to child's play
My 4 year old granddaughter delights in discovering a new animal each day

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is the most unique advent calendar I have ever seen. A lovely, well built cabin with a big tree next to it. The tree has hanging buds on it for hanging the few items that have a string hanger. Beautiful detail and easy set up. It even has a lazy susan on the bottom for rotating to view. Wonderful for yourself or as a gift. If you give as a gift, unwrap each of the cabin door items before hand. They are wrapped nicely in little bubble pack wrappers. Very impressive!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This is so cute. I bought it for my son and his fiance for a family heirloom. Now all I need are some grandkids to enjoy it with.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

One of the more creative advent calendars I have seen.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought this for my daughter who has been wanting an unusual advent calendar for years. The woodland theme is perfect and very different. I was thrilled that the cabin itself is wood and not plastic, which you can't tell from the catalog. The only disadavantage is that when it's put together, the wooden tree at the back sticks up in such a way that it's a little difficult to store. But that's not a huge problem.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The Advent Season "critter" house is cool. The youngsters like it. Especially since we live in a ten acre wooded lot with all of these critteers on the property.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I was pleasantly surprised by how large this product was and features such as the rotating surface that the cabin sits on allowing you to display all sides of the cabin. It is great fun to pull out day by day the different creatures not knowing first time out what you are going to get. The animals/birds are adorable and the cabin detailing very real. Well built and living in the northwest I could probably keep this out in my family room year round seeing as how it fits my decor in the room. Very happy with it overall. It is a very one of a kind advent calendar.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

What a treat to wake up each morning to a new 'animal'- we love the surprise!!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

My grandkids love the house and my daughter says it is well put together. I bought it in hopes that they would have it many, many years and would create a lasting memory.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I bought this for my 5 year old grandaughter to count down the days until Christmas. She loves it and so do I. I would recommend it if you were considering buying it. It is a little pricy by the time shipping and handling was added, but I got over it once the product arrived.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

It made my granddaughter happy for many days!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We wanted to get an advent calendar that wasn't chocolate oriented, and wanted one that could be used every year. I had actually ordered a different one from another place as it was the best I could find at the time when lo and behold the GSC catalog came along in the mail. I ordered this one and returned the previously purchased one and I'm SO glad I did. Our daughter is 21 months old and she LOVES it! Every night right before dinner we say it's time to count down another day and she gets a big smile on her face and holds her hand up to ours to go over and open the next door! She gets so excited when she opens the door and peeks in and gasps and smiles and pulls out the creature and puts it on the porch, or hangs it in the tree. Such a delight - highly recommend!

My 5yo Loves this so much. The first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning is check the next door. She love setting up the little animals. I love that it is on a turn table, so my daughter can turn it all around and see all sides.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

We have 14 grandchildren and are hoping this will become a new tradition at their grandparents home.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

This was a gift for my two young nephews. They are excited to find out the animal they will get each day. It is also a good teaching item for time and dates to an event.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

It is a perfect piece on our table. Everyday we open up a new box and a cute and well made animal joins others around the woodland cabin. The product is very well made.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

The tree is wobbly. Can't tighten any more without striping the screw holes. Otherwise, it's magical and kids love it. Nice to have an Advent Calendar without candy.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I was looking for a way for my son to participate in the approach of Christmas. He isn't at that age to understand the advent candle and lighting a candle each week doesn't give us enough continuity. Most advent calendars have chocolate and other candies and I didn't want to do THAT either. So I love him opening each door. Today is December 2nd and yesterday and this morning was the first thing he did when he got up! The quality of the piece is good--I wasn't expecting each animal to be absolutely pristine. There are seam ridges in the moulding of the animals. The item is pricey, but because we will be using it for many many years I feel it is more than worth it. I liked the other advent calendars (birdhouse, gingerbread house, potting shed), but we travel to Wyoming and to the mountains of Washington State where we stay in log cabins--the theme was perfect!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I purchased two advent calendars, the Birdhouse for my mother and this one for myself. I now wish I had gotten two birdhouses! Both are quite large and heavy (much bigger than I had expected). The swivel base is great (and necessary). With the birdhouse, each bird comes out and "perches" on it's own door. The cabin animals are small pieces to place anywhere. Not good if you have small hands or paws to steal or scatter them around!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

More than I usually spend on an advent calendar but this was really well made and the added little gifts in each box was fun. The gift was truly enjoyed by the people who received it and it will be used for years to come. Thanks, Julie

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought as gift for my young great nephew and niece. I know they will love to open a new door everyday of advent

The image actually does not do this product justice. It is far more beautiful than the image captures. I totally love this product and can't wait to use it during the holidays.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Being a blended family this advent cabin is just what we have been wanting for a long time. What a lovely way to keep and create a family tradition.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I've been looking for something exactly like this for almost 30 years. I love the outdoor theme, and the little animals are perfectly made.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Was a gift to a nature lover. Great Christmas advent calendar

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Very nice advent calender that I have been admiring for several years now, However, I always seemed to be too late to order it as it is popular and sells out early! This time I ordered it in October. It is beautiful and my kids love it. I cannot wait to put it out for the holidays!I can see it becoming a family Christmas favorite in years to come.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Purchased for a gift, its just what my mother-in-law always whanted but couldn't find.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Will be great for our woodland Christmas theme. Lots of fun opening the doors and finding the surprise inside!

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

Bought this advent cabin for my grandson so he could enjoy it and eventually pass on to his children. I think it is a family heirloom that will last forever. I just love it. I know he will, too, because he loves hunting and animals. The quality of the cabin is excellent and the price reasonable.

Comments about Woodland Cabin Advent Calendar:

I could hardly wait to open mine to set it up. I wanted to put it out for Christmas but it was a little too early for that. I also bought one for each of my two daughters. One daughter has a birthday on Nov 4 and I plan to give it to her then. I knew the other daughter would have a fit when she saw her sister's so I bought her one also. The only bad thing is that the other daughter's birthday is in January so I probably will go ahead and give hers to her now. All three of us like the uniqueness of the cabin and we love the animals.[...] I got my order in early this year. Thanks for a great product!!!!!!
