adult advent calendars

Each year my FAOA* sends my boys advent calendars.
She always checks to see if one or more of them will think it is too 'babyish.'
But they never feel that way and so, at the end of November, they receive them and enjoy them until Christmas.
Oldest stopped receiving one a couple of years ago - and when Middle moves out he will too.
Fortunately we still have Youngest, who has more advent calendar years ahead of him.

I was talking to my Aunt on the phone today and she mentioned that she had bought them:
You'll have to tell me which one should be for which boy...one is Peanuts and I forget what the other one is...
And with those words, a brilliant idea flashed upon me.
Adult themed advent calendars.
Now, just wait a minute - they don't have to be smutty(or they could), but they could reflect adult interests.
Sure pin-up girls would be okay for, you know, gentlemen in the armed services, but what about an advent calendar for the gourmand in your life?
Different cheese and wine pairings?
Exotic cars?
For the mystery lover, the clues to a crime scene!
For a crossword lover, missing letters to a puzzle -
why has no one thought of this?

I tell you, I AM AN UNTAPPED VEIN OF ADVENT CALENDAR BRILLIANCE.
