The Advent Calendar Shop is a Christma-subsidiary of Shoppydays Limited, better known as, Carousel
Carousel was founded in 1998 by entrepreneur extraordinares, David and Clare Turvey.
Their then-fledgling business started life as "The World’s Biggest Little Toy Shop" - a small, jam packed, traditional children’s store in heart of the village of Shalford, near Guildford.
Offering classic brands and timeless toys, along with party wear, play equipment, garden games and hundreds of unique gifts and goodies, sourced from around the globe, Carousel became known as a local Aladdin’s cave - a treasure trove full of wonder.
No more so was this true than at Christmas, when the shop would somehow squeeze in even more stock; its mini customers would be giddy with excitement; and huge full-sized Santa decorations shipped over from the French Alpes would scale Carousel’s roof, delighting all who passed by.
Such was our love for Advent calendars, we even ended up creating them their very own website, and so, The Advent Calendar Shop was born.
Today, we have one of the most extensive selections of Traditional Paper advent calendars on the world wide web, plus, we also offer an ever-growing range of Toy Advent Calendars, Beauty Calendars, Fill Your Own Advent Calendars and Advent Candles.
Our doors are open 365 days a year.
