Step your holiday game up this season with an advent calendar that’ll blow the whole family away. You (or your loved ones) will be transported back in time for the ensuing 3.5 weeks as you take 24 (plus a bonus 25th Christmas day megalo…err, surprise!) different stops through Florida’s wild and rugged past. With a new (no duplicates!), authentic fossil(s) to find every day, this will be your most exciting holiday season yet. Each day’s fossil(s) comes with an educational write-up and factoid/picture on the back, tucked away neatly into that day’s box. In addition, every Advent(ure) Box comes with a welcome sheet explaining what you can expect to find, an FAQ explaining the hows, whats, wheres, and whys of the Florida fossil hunting scene, a couple maps of Florida’s ancient coastlines to help you visualize what conditions were like all those years ago, and a couple bonus shark and dinosaur stickers.

    Thanks for an amazing “Advent”-Ure box! I ordered at the last minute but it arrived December 1, just in time to get started. It was exactly as described and certainly did not disappoint! I haven’t peeked ahead, but my boys and I loved our first two days. Each day has a specimen (or two or three!) and a little card with descriptions and explanations. Very cool and very educational. It is obvious from just opening the box that someone took significant care, thought, and time to assemble this. Truly a wonderful gift!

      I’m so glad it got to you on time and that you’re enjoying it so far! It only gets better from here, just you wait! 🙂

    This is by far the coolest advent calendar ever! My 11 &7 year old (girls) are so excited to open this and read about what they get each day. Next year I’m going to get one for all my nieces and nephews! Great product- very thoughtfully designed- educational and so so cool! Would 100% get for a school classroom or library as well.

    This was one of my favorite gifts of all time! My sweet mother gave it to me, as we are beach-combers, and it was SUCH A TREAT! Super fun, loved every bit of it!

    I loved my Fossil Advent(ure) box. It was beautifully packaged and filled with quality finds. Every day was the opportunity to learn something new about Florida fossils, and I loved the inserts included with each of the sample fossils. There was no skimping on what Nilson included in this box; somedays there were multiple examples of the “fossil of the day.” The sharks teeth he included are amazing and beautiful. While I’m the only avid fossil hunter in my home, my whole family ended up enjoying the box as they asked every day, “What did you get today? Let me see it!” So happy I splurged on this gift to myself this year!
