It appears many parents are ditching advent calendars in favour of a new chocolate trend – but it doesn’t come cheap[/caption]

They’ll set you back £45, but there’s FOUR layers[/caption]
Rather than a boring advent calendar from a supermarket, a savvy woman named Diane Webster is doing something a little more unique to celebrate the festive period.
The mother is making impressive fold-out chocolate boxes – and they’re full up with tasty treats.
The “amazing” boxes, which are loved by mums around the world and have even inspired others to do the same, contain four layers of chocolate bars and sweets.
Not only this, but the centre is a small box full with delicious selection box chocolates that are sure to leave you reaching for more.
There’s all things from Double Deckers and Crunchie bars, to Fudge and Twisted.
As well as this, you’ll also find Freddos, Milky Way bars and Kinder treats too.
And don’t worry if your youngster is more into sweets, as there’s plenty of those too.
Foodies will find Refreshers, WHAM barns, Chewits and Skittles, as well as Drumsticks and Vimto.
After receiving an influx of comments from customers desperate to order a box ahead of December, businesswoman Diane uploaded a video of her beautiful boxes on Facebook and claimed she had begun to take orders for Christmas.
Alongside her social media clip, she penned: “I’m soooooo sorry, but I’m taking Christmas orders now, as I keep getting asked for them.”
She then added: “Four layers of chocolate and sweets mixed.”
The entrepreneur, who runs ‘My Kind of Flowers,’ also confirmed: “Must be pre-ordered and deposit paid.”
Diane, who also does gluten-free versions of her famous boxes, charges £45 per box, plus a £5 postage fee.
How to save money on Christmas shopping
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how you can save money on your Christmas shopping.
Limit the amount of presents – buying presents for all your family and friends can cost a bomb.
Instead, why not organise a Secret Santa between your inner circles so you’re not having to buy multiple presents.
Plan ahead – if you’ve got the stamina and budget, it’s worth buying your Christmas presents for the following year in the January sales.
Make sure you shop around for the best deals by using price comparison sites so you’re not forking out more than you should though.
Buy in Boxing Day sales – some retailers start their main Christmas sales early so you can actually snap up a bargain before December 25.
Delivery may cost you a bit more, but it can be worth it if the savings are decent.
Shop via outlet stores – you can save loads of money shopping via outlet stores like Amazon Warehouse or Office Offcuts.
They work by selling returned or slightly damaged products at a discounted rate, but usually any wear and tear is minor.
She confirmed to Fabulous that she started the business back in April this year.
It was after Diane tragically lost her eldest daughter three years ago and was eager to find something to “keep busy.”
The savvy mum had “always wanted to own a sweet shop” and now that her youngest daughter is 16 and she has “more time” on her hands, she is able to fulfil orders.
Social media users beam
Diane’s post showing off her chocolate boxes has clearly impressed many, as users eagerly flocked to the comments to praise her “amazing” creation, which many described as their “dream” to receive.
One person tagged a loved one and said: “Look how good these are for the kids for Christmas.”
Another added: “These are amazing.”
Wow, this is brilliant

A third commented: “My dream present to get.”
At the same time, someone else gushed: “Oh I like that!!!!”
Not only this, but one chocolate lover beamed: “Wow, this is brilliant.”
As well as this, it appears that many parents were inspired by Diane’s impressive chocolate boxes and have plans to make their own.
One woman asked: “I’m in Canada, can you let me know where you purchased the actual box? I’d like to make a couple for my grandchildren.”
To this, Diane wrote back and replied: “You can purchase on Amazon.”
Meanwhile, a second expressed: “I will make it myself.”
