'My brother is obsessed with crisps so I made him a special one-off advent calendar'

If you want an advent calendar to open throughout December, you probably have a certain one in mind. Whether you're a chocolate lover, make-up obsessive, or you like a beer or two, there seems to be something for everyone.

But one woman went above and beyond for her brother when she decided to make him a bespoke advent calendar - packed with crisps.

Daisy Forbes Parker, who posts on TikTok as @daisyforbesparker, made a 'creative calendar' for her brother who is obsessed with the salty snack. Over the video, it reads: "Point of view: Your brother lives off of crisps."

The crisps were lined up next to numbers... (@daisyforbesparker/TikTok)

The video shows a vast array of crisp packets housed in a large cardboard 'calendar', hand painted with festive details, boasting a variety of flavours for each day of the month.

There were repeated crisp packets that popped up a couple of times, like salt and vinegar 'Fish N Chips', Wotsits, and McCoys - clearly firm favourites of Daisy's brother.

At the top of the advent calendar, which was backed on plain brown cardboard, the woman wrote 'Happy Crispmas', with some hand-drawn snowmen and holly to make the calendar look more attractive.

The numbers detailing the lead up to Christmas has been written in red pen.

In the comments, people were jealous of the genius bespoke calendar, tagging their crisp-loving friends and spreading the word about the advent calendar, which wouldn't be too pricey to make.

One wrote: "This would make me so happy."

"Can you make this for me?", someone asked their friend, while another one cheekily commented: "I can't believe nobody has done this for me!"

"You need this but all Doritos", a TikToker told their friend.

"Life goals", somebody gushed, while another suggested they'd prefer a Pepsi Max advent calendar.

Would you make an advent calendar like this? Let us know in the comments.
