As someone coming from Eastern Europe, I hadn't really seen the idea of advent calendars before.
I don't get the idea of buying them, when they are filled with things you can buy through the whole year anyway.
I get the logic in calendars which have seasonal(or special) things inside, that otherwise you can't really find, like import beer for example.
I would love like a japanese beer/drinks calendar, because it won't be easy to otherwise find here.
But Lindt chocolate, Kinder etc?
