Why not make a special advent calendar for daddy too! Or for that special beer lover in your life.
Here is what we came up with. I used an apple bushel box but you can use any large box that will fit either 25 beers or a mixture of beer and canning jars. I knew my husband wouldn’t consume a beer a day so we mixed it up with some fun little goodies inside of the canning jars. That’s right more canning jars!
I printed off more numbers from the ones I purchased here. I cut the numbers out and tapped them to the tops of the bottles. For the canning jars I wanted to hide what was inside, so I just taped a little piece of white card stock to the lid of the jar. SUPER EASY! I had a strand of those LED lights that run off batteries, so I strung those in through all of the bottles of beer and canning jars. Lastly, I added the tinsel. 
Of course we put in lots of beer, but we also added…
some work gloves,
carpenter pencils,
and a screwdriver. We also have some of daddy’s favorite candy in a few of the jars. The kids loved helping me pick out the loot at Walmart this morning. Although they were both a little upset when I said no hammers. 
Here it sits in the barn (already chilled thanks to the New Hampshire weather) waiting for when Daddy comes home. I’m thinking next year I just may make one up for myself, but with a new fat quarter for each day, whatcha think, FABULOUS idea right?
I’m so excited for the festivities to begin!
gawwwwwllllll! this is so great…why don't you just make me one, mkay?
lol, seriously love it!
Love this too but for me only I would put some fun girly things in with the beer!
I am on board with the fat quarter a day advent calendar!!!! Lol.
One lucky Daddy 🙂
love the fat quarter idea. I'll try to remember that one for our Quilter Bee 🙂
You know I do have to feature other people on my blog too….:) Seriously you come up with the best ideas.
I might be able to come up with something too if all my free time wasn't being used to copy you!! 🙂 lol
Talk soon!

Love this, caught a glimpse of ya over at the CSI project! So creative!! Following you now!
I made one, but in a Really Useful Box. And most of the bottles were seasonal soda pops (there's a couple Woodchucks in there, though), and I couldn't find the tinsel so it's just lights, but I think in the RUB that works out better anyway:

Some truly excellent information, Gladiolus I found this. “Treat your friends as you do your pictures, and place them in their best light.” by Jennie Jerome Churchill.
There are certainly a number of details like that to take into consideration. That may be a great level to bring up. I supply the ideas above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up the place a very powerful factor will be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around issues like that, but I’m sure that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both girls and boys feel the impression of only a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
