Smiggle Advent Calendar 2017
For Santa to colour up our world with Smiggle (we should be on the Good list, promise)
Peace (and Quiet!), spending quality time together and a break from the busyness of life.
I want all my bills to be paid, is that too much to ask Santa for? But seriously I have googled every page giving away a smiggle advent I really want one of these babies so much fun for my girl
Our first home, hopefully this Christmas brings us good luck so we can make this big purchase on our first home.
I would settle for being able to sleep past 6am on xmas morning
All i really want is for someone else to do all the washing up after lunch is that too much to ask for?……well that a a new windscreen sunshade for my car…….but would settle for someone washing up….
Wishing for a family holiday this Christmas. Would love to get away and forget about the busy-ness of work and household chores.
A new wardrobe have every intention to go out and buy something new but always come back with things for the kids. A gift card would be perfect to shop the sales and treat myself, someone told me fluro and ra-ra skirts weren’t in anymore i’m shocked!
Christmas to me, is all about my kids, So if they’re happy I’m happy – that’s all I really want…. Besides – Boxing day is my birthday and that’s a different story 😉
AS a first time family and now with Anna (2.5) we would love to explore the love of smiggle and Christmas together for the artistic holidays ever!!! Please help our little family with the ultimate countdown!!!

I’d love for my whole family to spend the day together. We are scattered far and wide and haven’t all been together for over 10 years. There are new babies to meet, cuddle and drool over. If I can’t have a family get together then I’d love nothing more than lunch out where I get waited on and don’t have to do the cooking or cleaning 😉
All I want for Christmas is a nice peaceful break with my wonderful husband and children – without any drama from the extended family! A smiggle prize would be a great treat for the kids too!
Honestly I am just wanting awesome Christmas with my family and extended family! Am wishing we could all be in the same place at the same time together for Christmas day!
One of those robotic vacuum cleaners…….
It’s funny, I used to think my parents were so lame asking for practical gifts for Christmas. They should be asking for jewellery and hats…… Now my children tell me the exact same thing!
I would love a quiet day with my family, just enjoying a peaceful lunch and laughs… and if by chance I get a pressie would love a new lamp so that I could read in bed…….
I want my family to be happy and creating everlasting happy memories. I wish to spend time with my parents who live far away in another continent and to see my brother who lives in another continent.
I wish to be stress free during Christmas and wishing to save money so as I could travel in the next year.
My kids would definitely want the advent calendar because every year he asks me to buy him a smiggle bag for school.
Someone else to cook!
A Smiggle Advent Calendar! PLEASE!
I really want some ‘Me time’ & gifts that complement this like wine, books and bubble bath. I’m sure all these Smiggle goodies would buy me some much needed me time!
Last year I ‘gifted” SMIGGLE advent calendars to my nieces. They SMIGGLE snuggle- cuddled them and I was their favourite aunt.
In 2017 a Smiggle Advent calendar wish for my little one – old enough this year to appreciate it and to become a lifelong SMIGGLE addict…. and a wish for happy family gatherings during December to see little one’s joy at opening SMIGGLE ADVENT calendar windows.
I would just love a holiday near a beach to and between my toes and RELAX
I love Christmas and everything it represents,
The giving of love as well as presents,
So what I wish for I find,
Is love & laughter for all mankind.
I would love a contract for my business that I’ve just started (photography) and my kids have already told me what they want – the Smiggle Calendar!
I want a holiday overseas so i can just stop and relax for once
I would LOVE a new iPhone 8 so I can take great pictures of my family to keep as memories for years to come.
All i want for Christmas is a job, so we can afford christmas
My girls would love the Smiggle Advent ,
This I know for sure.
However I’d be far more practical ,
I need paint for my old furniture!
I want to give my 2 girls magical Christmas memories filled with love and delight and tons of Smiles and Giggles♡♡♡♡♡♡!
I don’t want too much for Christmas this year, all I want is a night of unbroken sleep from my little dears! No, Mummy I am thirsty or Mummy my blankets are un tucked. Just for them to sleep through the night
I would love a holiday!
All our grandchildren to spend Christmas with us.
Happy smiles, laughter and joy
Friendship, imbibing, lotsa toys
Quiet moments for hubby and me
Feeling blessed, appreciating Christmas glee
I just want my family and friends to all be happy and healthy!
A happy healthy whole family for christmas
I would love to be in our own home waking up with the children Christmas morning to celebrate rather than being interstate with relatives!
Well, as I have been a very naughty girl this year I simply want to be removed from Santa’s naughty list!
I would love to have one day to relax and would love for everyone to be at my place for Christmas lunch
To enjoy my family without having to work for at least one year . I’ve worked the past 11 either Christmas Eve or and Boxing Day 🙂
Ps I’d really love a new bookcase ha ha
A nice pair of slippers and happy faces Christmas day .
Just another day with my dear dad,… missing him heaps. Christmas is about family and eating so much trifle that I’m about to burst!
I just want to be with my family. I want a great meal together.
Food!!! I’m pregnant and will be even more so at Christmas. I also want it to go smoothly with my crazy Mum. Oh and some sleep would be nice too
Money to pay off the mortgage. Do I ask for too much? 🙂
all i want for christmas is my whole top teeth,
I’ve decided I want a jigsaw….after doing countless ones with my young daughter, I have now re-developed a childhood passion for jigsaw puzzles, so I’m thinking a nice tricky one with lots of pieces just for me!
I would just like a nice day where everyone can be nice to each other and get along and if nobody has the shits about something stupid that would be awesome
a sportswatch to keep my new found exercise regime on track
For Christmas I don’t want things, no diamond rings, but to find a place, a little space, for some peace and serenity.
Some quality family time! With hubby and the kids, and then the extended family. And lots of food and drink too
A quiet day with my partner is all I want for christmas.
I will be at work on a children’s ward, and I want to remind all the children to be careful on their new bikes/scooters/trampolines so they don’t have to visit me in hospital and I have a very quiet day!!! That’s my wish. And wine, that goes without saying!!
I’d love a book voucher so I could by a book or two to read in the bath!
A wine glass that holds a bottle of wine. Face it, no one should have to get up to refill their glass on Christmas day!
I don’t have anything on my list for Santa this year. A happy and stress free time with my family will do just fine.
I want to feel loved and appreciated instead of lonely and used, only hearing from people when they want something from me. That would be a great present for me, to be wanted.
I’d really love a new job for Christmas lol. The business I’m at now is about to close and it’s such bad timing!
For my family to be able to be together and not traveling this Christmas.
I could be cheesey:
Say I have all I need.
And although that is true:
I’d love something to read!
A new book, with no pictures,
One with no creases in the spine.
Something that’s compelling,
And has me absorbing every line.
A book for this tired mummy,
A book I can read in the dark.
Preferrably in silence:
Or even in the bath!
I’d love for my request for a permanent part time roll to be accepted. Its not even about the money, I just want the stability of knowing I have work each week especially as I have to prepay for holiday care. Its very stressful not knowing (im currently on a casual basis but working 5 days every week
I’d like some new back steps before this Mrs Santa falls and breaks her neck. I must get onto the elves.
A massage. Sore back from holding a toddler and newborn.
A sleep in! But maybe on Boxing Day instead of on Christmas Day because too much excitement from the kids (& me!)
All i want for Christmas this year is to be home! We have travelled so much it’ll be nice to relax
A happy holiday filled of laughter and no tears. The kids leaving out cookies for Santa and carrots for the reindeers. Family gathering creating delicious food. Singing carols, watching Home Alone with a joyful mood.
I’d love a muk hair straightener and hair extensions myself but I just love seeing my children happy they are number one. Not being vein but my hair fell out having pneumonia and my 4 year old boy always tells me I’m beautiful still. He would share this with his little sister they would love it.
I would love for someone to clean up and landscape my backyard. It’s only small but I never have any time or this melbourne weather rains on me!
Happiness and a home for my daughter and I…and a kitten.
I want a safe and joyful Christmas and my children smiling and excited. Smiggle makes us smile allows us to create.
I wish great weather for Christmas day full of cheer, laughs and a late night 😉
I want our house paid off by Christmas!
We are going to England for Xmas and my best present would be if my son could not projectile vomit over me on the plane like he did last time.
Sun , fun and laughter
More than anything else I love for my family to be reunited and happy, with several members away this year, it’s not likely though.
All I want for Christmas is for my Little Miss 5 and Little Miss 3 to have a magical Christmas (like the Christmas’ I had as a child).
I love to see the look on my kids faces as they rush to the tree to see that Santa has arrived, That look is all I need each Christmas!
all i want for christmas is my whole top teeth my whole top teeth
Hm… last year you asked a question like this for a competition, and my husband actually bought me the item I’d nominated (a pendant from My Giddy Aunt), so let’s see if I can get lucky again this year, yes? I’d like a pile of books – a BIG one (that won’t surprise you) – and time to sit in a sunny corner and read at least one of them, uninterrupted. Except possibly by a small child bearing a cup of tea and snacks.
Okay, so it’s a wild fantasy. You did ask!
What I want for Christmas:
Peace on Earth
Health and Happiness for all
An end to Famine
An outbreak of Tolerance, love and Understanding
Every Child to be a Wanted and Loved Child
Etc.
What I will settle for:
A Smiggle Advent Calendar to share with my loved ones
That my flights back to the UK go smoothly so I arrive on time to spend Christmas with my Dad who is battling cancer.
I honestly have absolutely no idea what I want for Christmas this year (which is a first)! I’m just happy to receive a surprise gift – it makes for more fun!
A job, then i wouldnt have to try win miss 7 the smiggle calendar
Id buy it for her
What I want for Christmas this year is the same thing I’ve wanted for the past 7 years: a miraculous return to my pre-baby body without having to actually – you know – work for it or stop eating ice cream, lollies or chocolates (at least one of which is non-negotiable)…
Since it seems I must somehow still be on Santa’s naughty list ‘cos he simply isn’t delivering on my wish (I don’t think he’s forgiven me for eating his Christmas cookies and drinking his milk that ONE (or maybe seven) time!), I’ll settle for my wonderful, yet uncannily oblivious hubby finally picking up on my not-so-subtle hints for a proper, professional family portrait photograph!
(And just for the sake of completeness and the avoidance of all doubt.. I most certainly covet the brilliant Smiggle Calendar this Christmas as well!)
All I want for Christmas is peace and harmony – on the small scale that means a break from work and happy kids, on the larger scale it means people accepting each other and politicians respecting people and our environment.
I love Santa and have faith he can bring us all more peace and tolerance 🙂
If he anything to spare after that, maybe some nice pens and paper so we can write thank you notes and spread more peace and love around us.
a new Samsung phone
A happy family, yummy treats, Christmas playlists and a surprise or two under the tree!
Christmas is all about the kids,
And right now, none of our pens have lids
They love to draw, create, design
But when pens dry up, they love to whine!
This Smiggle pack would be heaven sent
All my money’s already spent!
It would be a Christmas dream
And most of all, it’d make the kids scream!
Last Christmas was quite a nightmare with a family member ending up in Intensive Care after requiring life saving surgery and then also suffering a cardiac arrest but through that we were all given a bit of a shake up and had the true delight of Christmas reinforced.
What I really want this Christmas is for all my family members to get through the Christmas Season without any health issues. I wish my eldest daughter could make it home but sadly thats not to be this year but I will chat to her on the phone instead.
Gift wise im quite content with nothing at all. Im very difficult to buy for but if anyone really wanted to buy me something then a Flight Center Gift Card would be wonderful as it offers me the gift of travel and that is one of my big loves.
As I read through the other comments, I could resonate with most of the things that the other Mum’s wanted – peace, holidays, washing up done, robotic vacuum etc. Then I thought, we all have so much, so maybe what I should ask for is the contentment to be happy with all I have (and for my kids to feel the same!!!).
After a year of many health concerns in our family I’d just like a day where we can all relax and catch up properly.
All I want for Christmas is to enjoy the smiles on my little girl’s face when we bake our favourite gingerbread men cookies and decorate the Christmas tree! There id nothing better especially at Christmas time as her smile always brightens up my day!
For Christmas this year I would love to have a Successful IVF Round. Some Smiggle goodies can help me fill in my journal 🙂 I would also love to have my family together as we haven’t been together for 10+ years. 🙁 Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas. <3
A Christmas at home watching my young boys discover the magic of Christmas like I did when I grew up! I had to work last Christmas (I’m an RN) so this year ill soak up my time at home 🙂 Early rise, present opening and happy faces, lots of yummy food, family reunion, love and laughter xo

Christmas done differently this year, family are going away and that leaves me on my own. My Christmas wish then is peace, quiet and a really good sleep (I’m a sleep deprived shiftworker!)
My children would love the daily surprise
Sharing them with joy in their eyes
Their love for Smiggle (and mine) is endless
It’s cool, cute, fun and splendid
I would just love to see all the kids so happy, so to win this for them will add to their joy they adore Smiggle please please please pick us
I would love a holiday, short break with the kids never been on one. To win this calender will be a great way to count down til the bug day!
A fun, family filled Christmas,
full of smiles and giggles.
Memories made, gifts exchanged,
made brighter with love from Smiggle <3
Smiggle Advent Calendar 2017
I would love to see the smile on my nieces face if i won this for her. Going into smiggle is like getting a warm hug from your best friend.
“SMIGGLES ADVENT CALENDER, JUST TO COUNT ON OUR BLESSINGS AND FEEL GRATEFUL EVERY DAY OF DECEMBER MONTH, WHICH REMINDS US EVERY YEAR TO BE KIND AND HAPPY AT THE SAME TIME!
SMIGGLES MEANS SMILES , CELEBRATION AND SPIRIT OF HAPPINESS!!
I’ve worked the last few Christmas days and on shift all alone! I’m so looking forward to this Christmas, being home, enjoying time & a cheeky merry drink with the people who mean the world to me.
A good juicy book to perk up my reading again
I want all my family to be together for Christmas this year, I love watching the grandkids excitement at Christmas but being together as a family is more important
This year for Christmas I’d like to book a nice relaxing hair appointment its long over due to be cut and coloured I’ve just been rocking the Mum bun or trying to at least lol for the last 8 months to try and cover up the bald patches from breast feeding my 5 month old baby
What i desperately want for Christmas this year is a massage and a bubble bath each week of 2018! life is hectic!
Our family has never celebrated Christmas before, so thinking of what I want for Christmas is pretty new. All I want for Christmas is peace in the world, and for my family to stay healthy and happy. A Smiggle advent calendar would be amazing for my daughter, since we don’t get any presents or treats for her usually :))
I’d love a new stationery set to be able to write unique letters to my penpals across the world!
The greatest joy I get is to see my kids eyes light up when they open their gifts on Christmas mornign….all I need is health, love and peace. To win this for the kids will be a great way to count down to the most magical time of the year !
Peace to all and to all a good night – Actually, with 2 small children, I’d very much like that for myself! Seriously, a peaceful, good-night’s-sleep is ALL I want! PLEASE Santa! 😀
A massage. Oh how I want a massage.
But a Smiggle Advent Calendar would bring the kids so much excitement in the lead up to Christmas, I’d trade my massage for that any day.
I want to wake up with more money in my wallet than washing in my laundry, 10 kg lighter and a few years younger, but I’ll settle for 10 min on Christmas morning, after the chaos, to go to the bathroom then drink my coffee in peace and quiet.
I would so love to have my family here for Xmas to see my girls. But will settle for skyping them every morning when my daughter opens her Smiggle advent calendar!
My recently mr 4 has discovered his hidden talent of drawing, spends all day drawing all sorts of things. I seriously love it as it’s a way for him to bond with his sister. This would make our Christmas just that little bit more magical. Fingers crossed.
Dear Santa,
Can i please have a 6 month vacation, two times a year?
Or lots of chocolate.
Love Maree
To DRAW from good memories and ERASE the bad, to RULE out bad health and PAINT a picture of glad!
my granddaughter loves the smiggle range and she really wants a barbie doll and my little pony and a slime maker please.
Safe travel for family coming to visit from afar this Christmas… Happy fine days spent together re-living happy childhood memories and creating new memories of good times spent together.
My girl’s wish list includes plenty of Smiggle
And Santa will bring her more than a little
Her smiles and squeals of glee
Is enough of a present for me
Honestly, I’d like some good quality sheets for my foster care room. We foster primary school aged kiddos and I am forever on the hunt for soft, soothing sheets. It brings me lots of joy to fill that room up with good, calming, welcoming things. If I won the advent calendar it’d be a great alternative to a chocolate one – my kids need healthy diets to be regulated, but a little goodie window to open every day would be lovely! 🙂 🙂
OK, whether it’s practical or not, a baby girl and my sisters back in my life!
M-y Christmas List
E-xists of only a few

A replacement appliance, either a laptop or refrigerator, to replace whichever one is spiking our electricity bill to five times higher than it usually is – that would be a most wonderful christmas present! Thanks!
An uninterrupted morning shower followed by uninterrupted breakfast and the time to drink my coffee hot right until the last drop
