This [gift card advent calendar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-holiday-advent-calendars) created by Puskás Marcell provides a practical solution to the commonly asked question: "What do you want for Christmas?" The advent calendar is filled with 25 gift cards to count down the days leading up to Christmas, each of which is paired with a personal question. While some of the questions ask "How do you characterize the person who you give this to?" others prompt "With this gift, I wanted to tell you that..."

As gift cards are often thought of as [last-minute gift ideas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logik-aadvent-calendar), as well as an easy option to give virtually anyone without much thought, this advent calendar challenges gift-givers to add meaning to the holiday season.

A free-to-download and print version of the advent calendar has been made available for all.
