Advent calendars have become a staple tradition of Christmas, helping us to count down the days from the 1st to the 25th December. Since their invention, they have evolved from having little doors which concealed a picture or a bible verse and now include gifts such as alcohol, make-up or chocolate.

The word ‘Advent’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘coming’. Advent calendars can be traced back to the 19th century when families would mark every day in December until Christmas Eve with a chalk line.

Originally, the four-week period known as Advent began as a time for converts to Christianity to prepare for baptism. It is now more commonly associated with the celebrated anniversary of Christ’s birth.

German-born Gerhard Lang is considered to be the producer of the first printed Advent calendar in the early 1900s. However, with the outbreak of World War II, cardboard became rationed in Germany and Lang was forced to close down his business in the 1930s.

The first chocolate Advent calendar appeared in 1958, but it was in 1971 that Cadbury joined the race and launched its own version in the UK. Cadbury produced Advent calendars intermittently from 1972 to 1986, but it wasn’t until 1993 that they finally became a mainstay.

Today, businesses like ourselves produce custom printed calendars which can be ordered by businesses to give as seasonal gifts to their valued clients. Quite clever really - 'its the gift that keeps giving' and has your brand on it. If you would like some made for your business, there is no time like the present to beat the Christmas rush and have yours in good time!

If you're gifting clients this Christmas, then maybe you should take a look...

We can produce custom printed gifts tags, wrapping paper, gift boxes, crackers, bottle carriers, advent calendars, chocolate boxes and lots more. Contact us to find out more and avoid the Christmas rush, so that you have yours in good time to send out.

BEWARE !! ⚠

Another scam going on out there where people register a company at your address. A member of my family had this happen to them and only realised when they started getting a number of Companies House and HMRC letters to someone that had never lived there. The ridiculous thing is that they have to provide documentary evidence of owning their own home to get the company removed, yet the scammers could just setup at their address - most likely with the intention of setting up bank accounts and taking out loans.

The leafy street in Leigh on Sea that 80 sham firms call home Financial crime experts say "burner companies" are "most likely part of a criminal network".

Tasty temptations... We were working late in the studio the other night and rewarded ourselves with a couple of traditional pizzas from - not only because the pizzas are delicious, but because we like to support local people and their local independent businesses.

Give them a try. They're on Morsham Street, Chelmsford.
Deeee -licious!!!!
