Spooky season hasn’t begun yet but some of us are already looking forward to Christmas. The folks at Lego are getting ahead of the holiday shopping rush with buildable Advent calendar offerings.
An Advent calendar is one way to count down the days until Christmas but if you’re starting this early, you may need to buy at least four. Fortunately, Amazon has some of our favorite Advent calendars on sale, including the Lego Minecraft Advent calendar for just $38.
This set typically retails for $45, which means you’ll be saving 16%. It has 300 pieces, making it a great option for kids, especially if they’re new to Legos. You’ll get eight fan favorite Minecraft minifigures, like Alex, Steve, a Creeper and a zombie, and there’s a Santa villager. Each figure also comes with accessories for even more merriment.
If you have a young witch or wizard on your list, this $38 Harry Potter Advent calendar could score you some cool points. This set has Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Luna Lovegood, Blaise Zabini and Cedric Diggory minifigures -- all dressed in Hogwarts Christmas sweaters to mark the season.
