Right now, it’s prime time for Advent calendar shopping ahead of the holidays. It’s early enough to snag some of the best calendars before they sell out, but you still need to act fast so you don’t miss your top picks entirely. That’s especially true when it comes to Advent calendars that we’ve never seen before. This month, tinned fish brand Fishwife launched a whole new gift offering, the 12 Days of Fishwife Advent Calendar. Judging by the fact that it’s around 20 inches tall, it’s safe to say it’s chock-full. Whether you’re a long-time Fishwife fan or new to the brand, the variety of products hidden inside are sure to be a treat.
