Special alert: Christmas gift idea and a money-saving coupon

If you have an Advent calendar or would like to have a special Advent calendar, I have a gift idea for you.



Each year, LEGO makes an Advent Calendar set. I love the LEGO Advent Calendar--it's boxed with 24 doors to open, one for each day of Advent. Behind each door is a little bag with a miniature Lego set to build for that day. If you have your own Advent calendar, these would be wonderful toys to stuff in each gift box.

Of all the things I ever did for my boys for Advent, this is far and away the thing they enjoyed most. As it happens, one of my sons is still a huge fan of LEGO, so we're still buying the Advent Calendar every year!

This set is not cheap--it retails this year for $34.99. But right now, it's available at Target, and Target has this book of toy coupons:


Have you seen it? At my Target, there was a large display at the front of the toy section with these books. There's a coupon for $5.00 off the purchase of the Advent Calendar. It's good through November 24.


If you're interested in learning more about the LEGO Advent Calendar before you decide whether to purchase it, you can see a review of it on YouTube.




The review was done by my youngest son, also known as LegoLee329. He definitely gives the low-down on this set! Even if you don't want to watch the whole review, it can be helpful to get a glimpse of the product.

No one is paying me to tell you about this set--it's just a product I love and I wanted to pass along the news of a good deal.

  1. Thanks, I am getting this for my grandson. He is a huge Lego fan also. Where did you find the coupon book? If it was in last week's ad -- I didn't see it.

  2. Karen, my Target had a special display of these books right at the front of the toy section. Sorry I didn't say that--I went back and put that in my post! Let me know if you don't find one--I think I picked up an extra copy. :)

  4. I have to look for the coupon book the next time I'm there. The advent calender looks so awesome. My boys are grown now but how they loved Legos when they were little! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing, Richella!

  7. I've never heard of a Lego Advent calendar. If I knew a child who'd enjoy this, I'd be out and about to purchase one today.

  9. We used to do the Lego Advent calendar every year for my daughter. She used to love playing with the animals and characters all year round. Of course she wound up having like 7 santas ater a while but it didn't bother her!

  13. Lego is always a popular gift with my boys...I need to find that coupon book! Thanks for the heads up, and for joining my party!

  14. If you can't find the book, you can print the same $5 off coupon from Target.com. On the front page, scroll down to Coupons at the bottom, then go to Toys and search for it.

    Also--this is a good week to buy it at Target because it's also marked down to $27 from the $34.99 regular price.
