The gifts inside can range from small books and novelties to stationery and other bookish accessories.
These festive countdowns provide an engaging way to discover new authors and genres, fostering a love of reading and adding a touch of literary magic to the holiday season. The tradition of advent calendars originated in the 19th century, initially marking the days of Advent with religious imagery. Over time, they evolved to incorporate secular themes, with literary-themed versions gaining popularity in recent years as a thoughtful gift for avid readers.
