A long-distance advent calendar: close, even when you're far apart

When hundreds or thousands of miles lie between you, a parcel in December is expensive, slow and sometimes late. A digital advent calendar always arrives on time – every morning, in their time zone.

Made for couples at a distance

• Set the time zone: doors open at midnight where your partner lives – not where you are.
• Countdown to your reunion: one door counts the days until you next see each other.
• Voice messages: your voice to wake up to, recorded right in the browser.
• Bilingual: the calendar comes in English and German – handy if you have different native languages.
• No shipping: send a link and you're done. No customs, no delivery times.

Ideas especially for long-distance couples

• Voucher for a video date where you both cook the same recipe
• Tonight we'll both look at the same moon
• A real handwritten letter arriving in the next few weeks
• What I miss most – and what we'll make up for
• Task: send me a photo of the best moment of your day
• Your shared playlist as a link
• Countdown to your next holiday
• A riddle about the first time you met

Not Advent? Make it a countdown

Seeing each other again in March? Instead of an advent calendar you can create a custom countdown with 3 to 31 doors that ends exactly on the day you're reunited. It makes the wait a little easier.
