Here's an idea - maybe it's already been marketed but -- what an idea if it hasn't!
As a kid I loved the Advent Calendar. For those who are unfamiliar with it - there are several styles. It is either a board shaped thing, a wall hanging or a paper good. It looks like a calendar page for the month of December. For each of the days there is either a flap (if it's paper) or a little door. The idea - you open the flap or door on the eve of the corresponding day -- If it's the paper style one you are treated to a new illustration for each day. If it's the board style you may be treated to a small goodie - a piece of candy, a tiny toy...
My idea -- what about one for adults? (And no, mind out of gutters - not *that* kind of adult.)
One exclusively for adults only -- could have an inspirational statement under the doors (paper variety) - what a great way to gear up for New Year's resolutions. The issue seems to come in for what little goodie or treat could the board style hold that would be entertaining for an adult? Little bottles of alcohol or the chocolates that are filled with liquor would add a grown up's touch. Perhaps a single serving of specialty coffee grounds, or teas... I can't think of many adults who would be over joyed with little trinkets...
What do you think Mylot? Cool idea? Or hopelessly dorky?

That's a cool idea, different themes would work for different adults -- sports buffs, tv buffs etc... I love chocolate too

What was that you were saying? My mind was in the gutter. Seriously, I think this is the first I've heard of these.

An adult Advent calendar sounds like a great idea. I'd be happy to have one

I think it sounds great! I wonder why no one has done that?

Sorry, my mind was in the gutter and I was hoping to catch me a belated Christmas present.
Like Sia, I love cheap thrills.

Oh nice! I'll have to look for that on Amazon. I love scents - so maybe the perfume one would be a good match if I can find it. Come to think on it, it would be cool the have one for couples -- where you fill it for your partner/spouse
