Abstract

The present invention relates to an advent calendar ( 1 ) comprising: a central axis ( 10 ), from which at least three side parts ( 2 ) extend substantially radially outwards, wherein i) the side parts are joined together, preferably in the region of the central axis, ii) at least one side part is removable or can be swung or folded over onto an adjacent side part and can preferably be attached to the adjacent side part, iii) there are distributed over the side parts at least 24 pre-punched recess fields ( 3 ), which can be removed from the side parts and, after removal, each provide recesses ( 4 ) in the side parts, each of which has a first suspension device ( 5 ), for example a hook ( 6, 7 ) for hanging an article in the recess and/or wherein there are distributed on fields of the side parts at least 24 pre-punched second suspension devices, which can preferably be folded or bent out of the fields.
