"The advent calendar was absolutely brilliant. I loved the attention to detail, the personalisation and the thought and care that went into it. I was delighted with every item, it was so lovely to open something every day" - Emma M
This Bookish Advent Calendar is suitable for older children, teens and adults, whilst there is no adult content, the nature of the storyline and gifts would not make it suitable for young children.
You do not need to enjoy reading a specific genre to enjoy this Advent Calendar, but an appreciation for magic and whimsy will definitely help.

"I was blown away by the contents of my advent calendar last year. It was such fantastic value for money and I loved how varied the items were" - Emma S
This advent is more than just a countdown, it offers an immersive bookish experience like no other Bookish Advent Calendars on the market.
This is our fourth year of Bookish Advent Calendars, and our third year of creating fully immersive narrative experiences - without a doubt they make for something quite special.

All the items contained are designed, made, or curated by us - many of them exclusive to Whisporia and specially made for this Advent Calendar.

"Really impressed and the smile on my daughter’s face each day was priceless. Definitely worth the cost and will very much look at getting one again! Well done and thank you so much!" - Laura S
Within this advent calendar lies a month-long journey to the enchanting Fablewood Literary Festival - 24 days of gifts, riddles, and story.
Each day you’ll unwrap a luxury bookish keepsake (from candles and bookmarks to bookish curiosities), read a new letter from the festival organiser, and uncover a piece of the mystery.
Alongside your gifts, you’ll receive a storybook-style guidebook containing your letters, a beautiful Fablewood scroll, and access to a tale that unfolds one day at a time, crafted to delight any reader or bookworm.
Absolutely! Fablewood welcomes all who believe in the magic of stories.
The contents are designed for adult and young adult readers, with a gentle, whimsical fantasy theme running throughout, no horror, no spoilers for specific books, and no need to have read any particular series.
Think cosy fantasy, literary charm, and a hint of woodland mischief.
While this could be enjoyed by all, we suggest readers teenage and up will likely enjoy the adventure most as they'll be able to enjoy using the items too.
Not at all - this is a standalone story. An original tale woven especially for this year’s Fablewood Festival. It draws upon the universal magic of reading rather than any one title.
You don’t need to have read previous advents or buy a companion novel. Just bring your love of books, your imagination, and perhaps a cup of tea.
Whilst we're not sharing any spoilers quite yet you can get an idea of the kind of items we sell at Whisporia, from candles to jewellery, bags to bookmarks, keyrings to stickers and everything in between.
This calendar includes a unique item on every day and everything is luxury and high value.
This isn't one of these bookish advent calendars where you might get 5 paper bookmarks, a set of tabs and a pair of generic socks, every single item is designed based on the story itself and is something we'd be delighted to receive ourselves.
Some items may come to the shop in 2026 but this is by no means a guarantee.
There are some items that will only feature in the Advent Calendars and not be available anywhere else.
Any items that do come to the shop will be at their full retail price so much more expensive than within the Advent Calendar.
Your advent will begin its journey from our workshop to your doorstep in late November 2025.
If you’re an early bird, your order will be one of the first dispatched.
We send via tracked delivery services, so you can track its travels every step of the way.
Whilst we can't guarantee any specific delivery date, we will endeavour to get them in your hands as soon as possible.
We currently ship all of our advent calendars to:
US friends- tariffs are being collected at the checkout and we will then pay these on your behalf. We’re so sorry it adds to the cost but please understand this doesn’t come to us, we have to pay this money directly to your government.
EU friends- due to GSPR and Packaging regulations we're sadly not able to ship directly to you, however we can ship to your friends in the UK if you have arrangements for them to collect your mail for you and pass it on. Just make sure to pop your name into the personalisation box.
Please note, it is the responsibility of the customer to cover any customs and import taxes that may apply (excluding US tariffs that are collected at the checkout). These vary based on the destination country and local tax laws. Once your order has been shipped, we are not responsible for any delays caused by the customs process as this is out of our hands.
Indeed you can. To help make the magic more accessible, we’ve added PayPal Pay in 3 and Klarna so you can spread the cost without missing out. Simply select your preferred option at the checkout.
Absolutely! In fact, many people do. We can even ship directly to the recipient if you prefer, one less item to wrap! Simply enter their name and address in the shipping address fields at checkout.
We would recommend leaving a note at checkout to let us know their name for any personalised items.
Quite possibly! Whilst we have tried to forecast numbers for 2025, last year over 50% of our advent calendar stock sold out by early October and the remainder shortly after.
If your heart is set on this advent calendar, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later.
Your advent calendar was fantastic. I opened it on a daily basis, and wore my key for the month. I actually had the box next to my bed so I could open it first thing in the morning! I loved the concept and look forward to purchasing one this year. The calendar was well thought out and the design was excellent. Easy to get sucked into the story that you were telling.
I was blown away by the contents of my advent calendar last year. It was such fantastic value for money and I loved how varied the items were from a useful pouch, a mug, a beautiful metal bookmark to mark your pages to the beautiful wax melts and candles. Each day was such a wonderful surprise.
I stuck to the day to open my advent as it gave me joy each day and a little bit of bookish.
I can't wait for the next one 🥰
I knew Whisporia's Advent Calendar would be good but I didn't realise just HOW good!
I was fully expecting lots of daily Bookish treats but imagine my surprise when Whisporia went a step further and created a whole story around the daily treats, with you looking after a Bookshop and letter from the owner while he has a well-deserved holiday!
It was an absolutely fantastic Calendar and I thoroughly enjoyed it and the story!
I can't recommend Whisporia's Calendar enough and I can't wait to see what surprises are in there this this!
I’ve bought both the book journal and the bookish advent calendars from Whisporia, both were fantastic quality with their individual quirks. The bookish one contained lots of lovely treats like wax melts, banners, stickers etc. The journal one was a lovely collection of tools to collate a fantastic journal for the forthcoming year. A must for those with a giant TBR pile!
I was delighted with my Whisporia Bookish Advent Calendar 2023. I opened it every day and I lived for the story that unfolded just as much, if not more so, than for the items I unwrapped. I am gonna need one in 2024!
It has arrived! Looks n smells amazing!
Felt like a leap of faith ordering so early before delivery! But all good! Thank you x
The cutest combination for everyone that loves both Christmas and books!
I live the colour combo of this miniature book trolley! It looks soooo cute on my bookshelves!
I always find these journal stickers add just that little touch of Magic to my journal every single time, it's perfect.
After looking for some sort of caddy/bag to carry my journalling supplies (yes ok, mainly around my own house, but mind your business k thanks), I absolutely fell in love with this at first sight. It’s size is deceiving - you can fit SO much in this beautiful thing and I especially enjoy having the choice of handles and a shoulder strap.
I may have got the last one (for now at least), but you absolutely need to get your hands on one of Whisporia’s bags/caddies/pouches!
As a purple lover this sticker sheet is right up my street and it works beautifully for junk journalling. They also have matching stickers so you could get the full set to complete the look.
This is without a doubt my favourite scent, it's musky and smokey and just ompf. I always like to make sure I have one of these in my candle cupboard ready to use. The candles burn well with a strong but not overpowering scent.
As a lover of pastel colours, this is one of my favourite sticker sheets! I love Whisporia's hand drawn designs, they're beautiful and works in every planner. The sticker sheet material is also high quality and I don't have any problems peeling it off.
YEEHAW 🤠 lord knows I needed these in my life. Perfect for any cowboy romance fan in your life! Comfy and good quality too.
The sparkles… the tassels! The bookmark I’m reaching for the most at the moment. Obsessed!
Time to Bloom smells just like a flower shop full of gorgeous fresh spring flowers - love it 🤩💐
These really are a treat. Beautiful packaging, lots of little extras and a new book! Dreamy.
This is the tiniest incense burner that I have ever seen! Its beautiful! The picture on the website makes it look bigger than it is, but I am more than happy with it. I bought this along with some other purchases from Whisporia and I am happy with them all. Thank you x
Not lit them let but it smells wonderful. Will be keeping it for the colder, darker evenings of Autumn and Winter. Great connection to the book’s character.
