Harry Potter fans can effectively get the 24-Day Sock Advent Calendar at True Toys for free by combining its reduced price with a three-for-two offer, making it a practical alternative to traditional chocolate calendars this Christmas.
The calendar has been cut from £24.99 to £14.99, and with the code ADVENT342, customers can receive their cheapest qualifying advent calendar for nothing when buying three. The deal suits households with multiple children, according to the retailer.
What the Harry Potter Calendar Includes
The calendar contains 12 pairs of socks—one sock per day—each themed around the wizarding world. It includes six pairs of ankle socks and six pairs of trainer socks crafted from a cotton and polyester mix, available in a range of sizes.
Customers have praised it as an 'excellent alternative to sweets', and it arrives weeks before the new TV adaptation debuts on HBO Max this Christmas.
Other Calendars in the Three-for-Two Offer
True Toys' three-for-two deal also covers other themed calendars, such as the Sonic the Hedgehog Prime Advent Calendar for £14.99 (was £34.99), which contains 24 surprise Sonic presents, including figures, staples, and stickers based on the Sonic Prime Netflix series.
Artistic children may prefer Crayola's 24-Day Arts and Crafts Advent Calendar for £19.99 (was £24.99), featuring 24 craft surprises that can be used straight from the box to create items like gift tags and decorations. The LEGO Marvel Calendar, priced at £29.99, is suitable for ages six and above and includes 24 festive LEGO surprises with mini buildable models of characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Wolverine, ahead of the new Avengers: Doomsday blockbuster this December.
Finally, the MEGA Pokémon Holiday Advent Calendar is available for £12.99 (was £29.99), containing 24 festive Pokémon-themed surprises and buildable models of Pikachu and Piplup. With the three-for-two deal, the lowest-priced qualifying calendar will be free, but the offer must be claimed before the November 30 deadline, while stocks last.
Customer Feedback and Alternatives
The Harry Potter calendar has earned a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. One customer said: "Fantastic advent calendar for kids. I'm looking forward to gifting this to my son, who is a big Harry Potter fan. The box shows some fantastic sock designs, and it's nice to give a sock advent calendar that he'll actually use."
Another added: "This was excellent and a great alternative to sweeties, which of course the kids will be getting bucketloads of at Christmastime. The quality of the socks was very good and since they like Harry Potter and needed some socks it was a no-brainer. Overall, I would highly recommend this as a fun, run-in to Christmas with a practical and non fattening outcome."
A few customers left minor criticisms on Trustpilot, with one shopper noting: "Fast, efficient delivery. Would have given five stars except for outer box packaging squashed in transit so the toy box inside was damaged as well. As it's a present it would have looked better if the box was not damaged. Maybe more protective packaging. Other than that, a great service."
Nevertheless, the majority were satisfied, as another shopper said: "Well worth it. A must have for any Harry Potter fan at Christmas."
Alternative options include the Magna-Tiles microMAGS Advent Calendar for £40 from Argos, which provides a festive twist on the popular toy, and the Clickeez Advent Calendar with 24 Holiday Surprises for £29.99 (was £39.99) on Amazon, featuring collectable fidget toys that snap together to create custom keyboards.
