I purchased 17 of these for my family and neighbors. They all were very surprised and enjoyed it and shared with each other to see their name. Awesome idea.
Even for someone who doesn't know much about football, this book is a unique look back in time for all the advertisements and other stories featured on the pages. I go down a new rabbit hole each time I open to a new page!
My husband and kids spent time going through all the "birthday" headlines, but also enjoyed the "special event" headlines in the back of the book. It's great how those extra pages were added - because many events get blurred with age!!
This is honestly so cute and different from other advent calendars. It is sort of the gift that keeps gifting because there's something new to unwrap everyday. The paper feels heavy and expensive and the artwork is really thoughtful and well done. I kept this as a treat for myself but plan to gift more as a gift for my book club secret Santa as well as to an older aunt who adores reading!
