"Advent calendars are really on-trend right now, and not just for children. Different types are on the market, with a plethora of gin, perfume and even pork scratching versions! Our version features The Royal Mint Christmas Nutcracker £5 coin, with gold foil wrapped chocolate coins.
For Christmas lunch why not treat the family to a box of our crackers? Our gold version has six crackers with gifts including a gold bar, diamond necklace and gold cufflinks inside - no more mini screwdrivers! We also do a silver version too, with Royal Mint sterling silver gifts such as silver compact mirrors, silver honey drizzlers and silver bookmarks. A snip at £5,000 for the gold option and £500 for silver.
Other gifts include a range of beautifully crafted silver Christmas tree decorations, all handmade in Britain with our own Hallmark, featuring the Tower of London - our home for over 500 years. Silver accessories, silk scarves, leather purses and wallets and a gorgeous teddy are all great gifting ideas available from royalmint.com.
