For some shoppers, the weekly Aldi run is practically a hobby. Now, fans can bring a little of that enthusiasm home with the Super Fan Advent Calendar, a $29.99 countdown packed with Aldi-themed surprises rather than the usual chocolates. Think of it as a festive treat for the person who never misses a trip down the Aldi Finds aisle.
The calendar features miniature store accessories and other keepsakes inspired by the retailer, giving it a collectible feel beyond December. It could make a fun gift for the Aldi devotee who already knows the weekly specials by heart, or anyone who enjoys a novelty calendar with a little personality.
The Super Fan Advent Calendar arrives at Aldi stores on November 4 for $29.99. With its early-November release, it gives shoppers another seasonal find to look out for before the Christmas rush.
