This advent calendar did not disappoint me. The products are wonderful. I really love the paper cutter and the journals. The inks are so pretty. I am looking forward to upping my journaling game.

This is not worth 125 dollars. I am so disappointed in getting a random plastic tape dispenser I can’t even change the tape out (I’m afraid if I try it will break) some random stickers I could get on temu. The plastic brush pen is useless. Last years was much better and the price point reflected the value. I have been a long time customer and this is the first time I’ve ever been this disappointed. The only things of value were the inks, snowflake notebook and stencil. Everything else felt like filler. The packaging was better than the products. I don’t say this lightly, because I want this business to continue and succeed. This was a huge miss for me.

This was a miss for me. You aren’t ever likely to absolutely love everything in an Advent calendar, but I liked about half of the items. This one was more about quality (items broken and bent or cheap plastic). I have never thought of any A&O product as less than a 4 star product, but this one felt like it was worth about half of what it cost. There were some good ideas, some expected items, and a small (advertised) journal. For the cost would loved to have seen 2 regular journals. I will think long and hard before buying another A&O Advent box. Customer service on broken item was outstanding, though!
