Designed by Dylan Lauren (Ralph Lauren's daughter) this candy cottage is bright, beautiful and totally over-the-top. It's definitely a splurge, but with 4.9 ounces of milk and toffee chocolate candies spilling out the windows and a design that looks straight out of Hansel and Gretel, the price tag might just be worth it.

CindyLouh posted this adorable idea to the Skip to My Lou blog in 2008, and it’s still just as cute today. Here’s how to make your own: Create 24 little birdies to use as the countdown days. Think of them as festive pockets – fill them with treats, just like any other advent – then hang them from branches or on string for display. To tackle this project, you’ll need thread, pins, felt or scrapbooking papers and embellishments, like beads or buttons. You can even download the birdie template online to create picture-perfect feathered friends!
