Emerson | Build-Your-Own Ornament Christmas Calendar

A build-your-own ornament christmas calendar for the whole family to share.

The Winnie is a countdown that gives you something to make with your hands, not just a door to open. Behind each of the 24 numbered compartments sits a small building set: snap the pieces together, and a new handmade ornament is ready to hang before you've even finished your morning tea. By December 24th, the tree is covered in decorations you made yourself.

Whether it sits on the kitchen table for the grandchildren to visit each afternoon, or becomes your own quiet five-minute ritual with a cup of tea, this calendar turns the countdown into a small daily occasion. Each finished piece comes with a built-in loop, so it can go straight onto the tree, along a garland, or across the mantel the moment it's built.

Why You'll Love It

• 24 one-of-a-kind designs: Santa Claus, reindeer, snowman, gingerbread house, nutcracker, penguin and more, never the same ornament twice.
• Built-in hanging loops: every finished piece is ready to display the moment it's assembled, no extra string or glue to fuss with.
• A shared daily moment: easy enough for little hands, satisfying enough for the adults who end up building alongside them.

Perfect For

This calendar suits a family kitchen table, a classroom countdown, or a grandparent keeping a small December tradition going with visiting grandchildren. The finished ornaments are sized to sit comfortably on a full-size tree without disappearing among the branches, and they look just as at home strung along a garland or set across a mantel as the month goes on.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are the finished ornaments?
Each one builds up to roughly 7 to 9 centimetres tall, a good size to notice on the tree without weighing down a branch.

Will the ornaments suit any tree or colour scheme?
Yes. The 24 designs cover classic holiday figures like Santa, reindeer and snowmen alongside cosier pieces like a snowy cabin and gingerbread house, so they sit comfortably among most existing tree decorations rather than fighting with them.

Who is this calendar best suited to?
Anyone who enjoys a small hands-on project: children counting down with a parent, a grandparent and grandchild building together, or an adult who likes a few quiet minutes of making something each evening in December.

One calendar box holds all 24 compartments and building pieces, ready to start on December 1st.
