Nothing sums up getting into the Christmas spirit quite like opening the first window of your Advent calendar.

Adults and children alike are filled with joy at the thought of opening the mysterious cardboard window on December 1 – but the real question is, what did everyone find?

Because let’s face it, as much as we love our own calendars we want to know what everyone else got too.

So here’s a roundup of some of the things people found behind their first little magical door:

Alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol

Pork scratching for this savoury lover

This lucky person got (arguably) the best Heroes chocolate AND a Yankee Candle

Wool for knitting

Toys, you’re never too old for a toy Advent calendar, right?
