Why an online advent calendar for friends

Friendships live on shared moments – and everyday life easily gets in the way. A calendar that reminds them of you every morning is a loving nudge: to laugh, to call and to plan the next meet-up.

Do they live in another city or even abroad? Then the calendar fits even better. You set their time zone and the doors open at midnight where they are.

12 ideas for the doors

• Your inside joke – nothing more to say
• So glad you’re in my life: three reasons
• Riddle: where did we meet?
• Quiz: how well do you know me?
• Voucher: coffee and cake at your place
• Voucher: cinema, the popcorn’s on you
• Voucher: game night
• Photo puzzle with your funniest photo
• Word scramble: mulled wine – and a meet-up at the Christmas market
• Task: today you do something just for yourself
• A voice message with your favourite song
• A final letter behind door 24

How to create the calendar

1. Sign in with your email address – no password needed.
2. Create a calendar and choose “Friend”: all 24 doors are filled with fitting ideas straight away.

Tip: together, not just given

Plan a few doors as dates: a walk, a film night, a phone call at a fixed time. Then the calendar becomes a December you spend together – even across the distance.
