Will the price be printed on the packaging slip? 

No. We know many of these orders are gifts, so we never show prices anywhere in the shipping materials.

You can also follow us on Facebook or read our online reviews for further confidence before placing your order. 

If I wait and buy this next week, will it be sold out? 

We've sold out multiple years in a row by November 15, so we encourage you to place your orders before it’s too late.

Once the gift boxes are sold out, they’re gone until next year.

Returning state calendars each feature 6 - 12 new vendors or products.

If you are interested in an experience with entirely new treats this season, I encourage you to consider purchasing or gifting one of our other state offerings.

My Family Loved their Iowa Advent Calendar

I purchased 5 Iowa Advent Calendars and sent them to family members. Each and every one of them loved theirs. I hope to order my dad's home state next year!

Thank you so much for your purchase and the kind comments and 5-star review of the Delicious Iowa Advent Calendar, Gail! Much appreciated. We're always thrilled to hear how much the calendars are enjoyed! It's no wonder since the Iowa calendar is filled with a variety of delicious treats from many of the small local artisan food producers located across the Hawkeye State. Not sure of the state your Dad hails from but you can get a notification when the complete 2025 Delicious Advent Calendar collection is available to order by signing up at deliciousfooddelivered.com. Hopefully Dad's state will be among them!
