In this cozy Christmas unboxing, I’m opening the Crea With Gaby Advent Calendar and basically living my best festive journaling life. It’s packed with holiday ephemera, stickers, washi tapes, and those beautiful handmade pieces that instantly make me want to pull out a journal and start layering. If you love stationery hauls and “what’s inside” surprises, this one is such a fun, creative treat—day after day of little crafty moments. I walk through the calendar as a true unboxing, reacting in real time and sharing how I’d actually use the pieces in my bullet journal, reading journal, and December spreads. My big takeaway is that an advent calendar like this isn’t just about getting stuff—it’s about having a built-in prompt to create, play, and document the season. If you picked up this calendar too, I’d love to know which item was your favorite, because I’m always looking for new ways to mix these kinds of festive bits into my cozy planning routine.
