If you’re looking for a special way to count down the days this year, while celebrating the pets in your life, or a special gift for any pet lover, I highly recommend McCrea’s caramel advent calendar. McCrea's Candies calendar comes in a sturdy box, which opens up to a really sweet holiday design featuring many different pets–dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, even gerbils–all of these are pets I have or have had in my life, so I was happy to see them all. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from online retail sales of this calendar benefits NEADS World Class Service Dogs. How cool is that?
