Premade Advent Calendar vs. DIY Advent Calendar Sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze when it comes to DIY, the cost outweighs the justification to DIY it or you just don't have the time! We made our own Advent Calendar with the Nereby IKEA Organizers a little late and only did the 12 days leading up to Christmas the first year we made it.  I made the project knowing we would continue to use it year after year. Some premade advent calendars are for one-time use. Like the chocolate advent calendars my sister and I used to get when we were kids, did any other millennials get those when they were kids and resist the urge to eat all 24 chocolates before Santa came? We're sharing some great options for pre-made and fillable advent calendars for those who don't want to DIY your own advent calendar.
