Counting down to the holidays with your honey as you plan your wedding? Here's a fun idea: do it with the help of an advent calendar. An advent calendar for your fiancé is a great way to enjoy every day together during this festive time and to celebrate your relationship. Plus, it can be a sneaky way for you to shop for more gifts for your fiancé, if you choose an option where you get to place your own presents behind the doors. Whether it's unveiling something big like a new craft brew ahead of Christmas or small like a piece of chocolate to mark each day of Hanukkah, a couples advent calendar can be a fun ritual to enjoy together. But keep in mind, this list of advent calendars was assembled specifically for you to give to your fiancé, because advent calendars for both of you are cute, but the love of your life deserves a little extra celebration this season. Maybe it'll be the start of a tradition you share for decades to come!
