Our Christmas advent calendar drop: fidget surprises and Santa’s chimney
By Toby · Published · Last updated
Our first homemade calendar has £70 worth of fidgets for £30. Or make the countdown your own with a reusable Santa chimney, from £45.
We’ve got something a bit special for the countdown to Christmas this year. Our first ever homemade TobesVerse Fidget Advent Calendar is here, alongside the Santa Chimney Advent Calendar that’s been catching our eye all over social media.
They’re two quite different ways to make December mornings fun. One has a new Christmas fidget waiting behind every door, while the other turns the daily treat into a little event at Santa’s fireplace. Both are available to preorder now for Christmas 2026.
Our first homemade fidget advent calendar
This is a first for us, and we’re really pleased to finally share it. The TobesVerse Fidget Advent Calendar costs £30 and contains a good £70 worth of fidgets. There are 24 doors, with a different Christmas-themed, 3D printed fidget behind each one.
Think snowmen, Christmas trees, baubles, snowflakes and puddings, with different things to fiddle, spin and click as you count down. It’s a chocolate-free advent calendar for someone who would rather find a little fidget to keep, and you’re building up a collection through December instead of finishing each surprise in one bite.
We won’t give away every day’s contents here, but Christmas Eve gets a special finish: door 24 contains a four-bar clicker keyring. There’s a preview of the collection in the photo below if you like a peek before choosing.
We design and 3D print the pieces at TobesVerse, then carefully package each calendar by hand to protect the delicate fidgets on their journey. Postage for this calendar is £10, making the calendar and its listed postage £40 together. Small variations in the printed finish are part of how these are made.

The Santa chimney advent calendar from your feed
If you’ve been watching the Santa chimney advent calendars on social media, you’ll recognise this idea straight away. Santa’s boots stick out of the top of a tall brick chimney, with a fireplace at the bottom and 24 numbered sliding clips up the sides.
Each day, a clip releases a little treat down to the fireplace. That’s the bit that makes it so fun: there’s something to do as well as something to open. It also makes a proper Christmas decoration while you’re counting down, especially with the named stockings hanging at the bottom.
The standard Santa Chimney Advent Calendar is £45. For £50, the personalised version includes up to four named stockings on the fireplace. If you need more than four stockings, email us before ordering and we can discuss what you need.
This one is a fill-your-own advent calendar, so treats and contents are not included. You choose what goes inside, then bring the chimney out again next Christmas. It comes with every piece and a bag of spare clips, handy if one goes missing or gets broken along the way.
It’s 3D printed to order, so allow time for us to make it. Before ordering the personalised version, check the spelling of each name and let us know if you need help with your stocking choices.
Choose your Santa Chimney Advent Calendar
Which Christmas countdown would you choose?
If you want the surprises sorted for you, the TobesVerse fidget calendar is the one to pick. You get 24 Christmas fidgets already included, with something different waiting each morning. It’s an easy choice for a fidget fan, particularly if you’re looking for an alternative to a chocolate advent calendar.
If you enjoy picking out the treats yourself and want a decoration to use year after year, take a look at Santa’s chimney. The personalised stockings make it a lovely way to put your family’s names into the Christmas display, and you can change what you fill it with each time.
Preorder by 7 November
Our preorder deadline for both calendars is 7 November 2026, to have them ready in time for the countdown starting on 1 December. Please order early enough for us to make and package yours. The fidget calendar has £10 postage; check the shop for the chimney’s delivery charges and the latest ordering information.
Questions about personalisation or your order? Email info@tobesverse.co.uk. If you’re also looking for a small Christmas present, our personalised clicker name bars are another way to choose something with their name and favourite colours.
