Vista print is a company that specialises in making personal gifts on various different products, it’s a company I have used before and always been impressed with the quality of the products.
I was very excited to be able to review these personalised advent calendars, which are a new addition to their Christmas gifts this year. I love making personalised gifts for friends and family for Christmas. I haven’t used Vista print for a while, so this was a great opportunity to see what else they do, and I have added some bits to my basket for Christmas presents.
I was given credit by Vista Print and this was enough to make two advent calendars, they had lots of their own designs you could choose from with Christmas scenes, from just advent doors with numbers to some lovely snow scenes and Christmas pictures. The whole process was easy and the credit was added to my account and gave off automatically when I checked out.
The calendar is made with FCS-certified cardboard. With 24 perforated doors, which contain fair trade milk chocolate squares, there is also a vegan option.
The website was easy to use and navigate when choosing your calendar you had a choice of A5 or classic, I chose a classic design for both which is the size of a normal advent calendar, you could then choose your orientation, for this, I chose horizontal.
Once I had decided on the size and orientation, I wanted to create a personalised one using a photo, I made one for my mum and one for my daughter and selected a photo I know they both loved. You could position the photo how you wanted it within the box on the screen.
They looked fantastic on the preview, and when they arrived they were fab and photos are very clear and they are just a different touch to an advent calendar.
They were packaged well for delivery and fitted through my letterbox, and came in a strong cardboard sleeve which gave added protection.
I did feel they were very overpriced though and I would have paid £20.81 for them, I always look for something different every year and think this price is a bit steep just for a chocolate advent calendar, plus there was postage and packaging costs on top unless you spent over a certain amount. I would probably pay around the £10 mark.
However I was impressed with the quality of the product and the feel of the cardboard, it didn’t feel cheap and flimsy like some advent calendar do, and the foil helped to keep the chocolate fresh and also stopped it from sliding out, which I find with some chocolate advent calendars as there is nothing to hold it in place except the inset its in.
The delivery was great and arrived within 7 days of ordering,
RRP: £20.81
Rating: I rate this 4/5 as I think they are different and love the photo personal touch.
They can be purchased here on their website and currently have some fab offers on generally and for Black Friday.
