Paper Advent calendars from the traditional publisher Sellmer possess a very special charm that will beautifully enhance your Advent season. Our cardboard Advent calendars feature contemplative, romantic, and nostalgic Christmas scenes that invite you to dream. The fine glitter adds a festive touch, giving the calendars a sparkling magic - fir tips, stars, and snowy landscapes shimmer beautifully depending on the light and emphasize the Christmas atmosphere. We offer our calendars in different formats, each with its own advantages. For example, choose a large format calendar. You can hang this on the wall and enjoy the Christmas motifs. In the smaller format, the paper calendars are wonderful as table decorations. For instance, place a postcard Advent calendar next to the Advent wreath.

Advent calendar without chocolate - but with a lot of Christmas spirit
In the classic Advent calendar, chocolate is hidden. A paper calendar, which comes without calories, is much healthier - but enchants with pure Christmas spirit. Therefore, Advent calendars without chocolate are ideal for adults who consciously refrain from sweets and still want to enjoy a pre-Christmas surprise every day. A paper Advent calendar is also a nice alternative for parents who want to keep an eye on their children's sugar consumption. Choose an Advent calendar with glitter to make your children's eyes shine! Our cardboard Advent calendars are all made in Stuttgart: quality from Swabia. Our Advent calendars without chocolate are so interesting for adults and also children because they tell a story that unfolds a little more each day.
Advent calendar with glitter - it sparkles so wonderfully
Our glitter Advent calendars are the sparkling highlight of the pre-Christmas season. When the paper calendar glitters in the candlelight, the Christmas feeling is perfect. Because glitter on Advent calendars reminds us of frosty winter landscapes, ice, and snow. Perhaps many people love glitter Advent calendars so much because they have a fairy-tale character. Even as children, we were magically drawn to glitter and shimmer. Sparkling things appear high-quality, noble, and are as much a part of Christmas as the Christmas tree and cookies. Choose your favorite motif from various scenes. Whether it's a nativity scene, winter forest, or a visit from Santa Claus - in our range of glitter Advent calendars, there is certainly a motif that will make your heart skip a beat. You can find glittering Advent calendars in our shop in different formats - from postcard size to A4 format. Nostalgics and vintage lovers will surely be enchanted by our nostalgic glitter Advent calendars. Victorian Christmas scenes gain an additional magical charm through the glitter.
So comes the shimmer onto our calendars.
Advent calendars with glittering details are part of our established product portfolio. We have been offering these for 80 years. In the past, the glitter was applied by hand. Employees sitting on the assembly line took the calendars off the line and pulled them through bowls filled with glitter particles - it was quite labor-intensive! Then came the glitter revolution: Tim Sellmer, son of our company founder, developed a machine in the 1970s that automated the glittering process. This glitter machine has now been in use almost daily for over 50 years and performs its duty faithfully and reliably. Of course, repairs need to be made here and there. But we are particularly proud of our machine and would never want to be without it again. It is unique.
When was the first Advent calendar printed on paper?
Paper Advent calendars have a long tradition and trace back to a very specific person. Gerhard Lang, who lived from 1881 to 1974, was a pastor's son from the Swabian Maulbronn. He is considered the inventor of the first printed - albeit doorless - Advent calendar. This was launched in 1908 in Munich. At that time, it was sold under the name Christmas calendar. Colorful drawings could be cut out from a cardboard and gradually glued onto a motif template made of cardboard. This created a colorful and atmospheric scene for Christmas Eve. From 1945 onwards, Richard Sellmer then brought Advent calendars with doors to open onto the market. Today, Sellmer is the epitome of high-quality and extraordinary paper Advent calendars that are designed with love for detail. Whether postcard calendars, paper calendars with Christian and nostalgic motifs, or glitter Advent calendars: Our heart beats for special calendars that sweeten your Advent season and invite you to dream.
