Ideas for your friends
24 ideas for an Advent calendar for friends
One door a day until Christmas, because one card would never have been enough. Here are 24 ideas for your best friend or the whole gang: fits of laughter, memories, songs and vouchers to use without moderation.
Where it all began
How you met, told in one sentence.
Your anthem
The song you’ve been singing off-key for years.
Good for one pyjama party
Blankets, pizza, films and secrets until all hours.
Do you really know me?
Three questions. No cheating.
Good for one brunch
Pancakes, endless coffee and all the latest news.
Question of the day
“If we went away for a week, anywhere in the world, where would we go?”
A scratch card
A little secret revealed with a fingertip.
Exhibit A
The photo you keep for the day you need some leverage.
A treasure hunt
A small present hidden away, and a clue to find it.
A date for the two of you
Something planned for you both; the surprise when you get there.
The song for bad days
The one that always ends up making you laugh.
The memory jar
You each fill one, and swap them at Christmas.
A riddle
Easy. Normally.
Good for one hour of listening
A whole hour of listening to them moan, without giving a single piece of advice.
One of your best moments
A photo, and why that one rather than another.
In ten years
“Where do you think we’ll be?”
Good for one trip to the cinema
They choose the film, you get the tickets and the popcorn.
Your fit of laughter
The video you keep sending each other. One link is enough.
The winning ticket
Scratch: you’re bound to have won.
Simply you
Your favourite photo of your friend, and what you love about them.
Good for one home-cooked dinner
Putting the world to rights until midnight.
Friendship in numbers
Messages sent, coffees shared, fits of laughter: your year summed up.
Only a few hours to go
One last door saved for the end, the most important one.
Merry Christmas
A friendship letter, and the last puzzle piece.
Tip: slip in one or two embarrassing photos, in moderation.
