I've been collecting sea glass on the beach for twenty years. I bought this calendar for myself, and every morning in December I held the fish of the day up to the kitchen window, before my morning tea. Now all 24 are hanging there, and it feels as if the sea has come into the house.
1 December. You open the first little door while the kettle boils. Last year there was a chocolate, gone before you could taste it. This year behind the little door is a glass clownfish, orange and white, with a tiny gold loop on its back. You hold it up to the kitchen window and the morning light shines through it.
The next morning it's a blue tang. Then a pufferfish, a seahorse, a shark. Twenty-four mornings later, the whole sea is swimming on your tree. And when the tree comes down in January, the little fish move to the window and stay there all year.
One little door a day. Nothing to wrap, nothing to fill.
Behind every little door is a new glass fish, and no two of the 24 are alike.
Frosted sea glass that shifts colour to blue, turquoise and orange as the light hits it.
The gold loop is already on its back: the little fish goes on the tree or in the window that very morning.
On Christmas Eve 24 fish swim on your tree, and after the holidays they move to the window.
You know the calendars that are already empty after a week: a chocolate, a throwaway trinket, straight in the bin. Behind every door of this one is a handmade sea glass fish with its own gold loop. You can't eat it and you won't throw it away. In December it sits on the tree and the rest of the year in the window, where the sun catches it and makes little rainbows on the wall.
Almost every gift is opened just once, at Christmas. This one is opened every morning all through December. For the mum who has everything, for the friend with the house by the sea, for the mother-in-law who keeps shells on her windowsill. Every morning she receives a little treasure from the sea, and every time she looks at the fish in her window after the holidays, she thinks of you.
We believe the loveliest Christmas gifts are the ones you keep, not the ones you eat before breakfast.
We chose the Sea Glass Fish Calendar so that every morning in December begins with a little treasure from the sea, and Christmas Eve with a tree full of fish. If it doesn't turn out that way, email us and we'll refund every penny.
Customers tell us that every morning they hold the fish of the day up to the window, and that in real life the fish are even lovelier than in the photos. Many bought one for their mum and one for themselves, and lots of them keep them hanging in the window long after the holidays. A few would have liked even more doors.
Last year I bought one for myself and the little fish stayed in my kitchen window all year. Now I've bought another for my sister, who stops to look at them every time she visits.
My daughter gave it to me for my 60th. I meant to wait until 1 December but I opened the first door straight away. It was a clownfish, and at sunset it casts an orange glow across the window.
I ordered it for myself, but honestly I thought the photos were touched up. When I held the first little fish up to the light I was speechless. It's exactly like the sea glass I collect on the beach near the holiday cottage.
I bought it for myself and couldn't resist, five doors are already open. Now I have a clownfish and a blue tang hanging in the living room. Four stars only because now I have to wait for the rest, and that's entirely my own fault.
I bought it for my wife last year and this year she asked for another one for the cottage by the sea. I think that says it all. Last year's fish are in the window facing the sea and in the evening it looks as if they're swimming.
I bought two, one for me and one for the friend I walk the promenade with every Sunday. We've decided to send each other a photo of the fish of the day every morning in December.
My six-year-old granddaughter was here when I opened the box. She wants to know what's behind every door, so now we count down together with a drawing stuck to the fridge.
My mother has collected sea glass for over 40 years and keeps it in a big jar on the windowsill. I couldn't resist and gave her the calendar early. She told me it's the loveliest present she has ever received.
I was sceptical, because everything looks good on a screen. I bought it for myself anyway and in real life the colours are even more intense. In the morning the blue tang throws a turquoise reflection onto the kitchen worktop.
Bought as a gift for my mother-in-law, who has a cottage in Dingle. The only thing: I would have liked a slightly more Christmassy box, with a few more decorations, because it will be on show on the chest of drawers all December. The fish, though, are gorgeous.
My wife collects shells and sea glass on the beach near us. I'll give her the calendar on 1 December. I sneaked a look inside one of the doors and it really is glass, and it lights up when you hold it to the window.
My shelves are full of sea glass collected on the beaches of the Welsh coast. These little fish look wonderful alongside it, same frosted glass and same light shining through. I bought it for myself and I don't regret it one bit.
Last year's fish have hung in the living room window since January and passers-by stop to look. Now I've bought a new one for me and one for my neighbour, who has been going on about them all summer.
Last year I opened the doors with my grandson on a video call every morning, him in Manchester and me in Penzance. This year I bought one for him too, so we each open our own door at the same moment.
My wife showed me the advert and I said it was too good to be true. She ordered it for herself and I was wrong. The glass is heavy and cool in the hand, and the clownfish has colours I didn't think were possible in glass.
A gift for my friend who turns 70 in December. She has a cottage in Donegal and walks along the shore every morning, all year round. I already know where she'll hang the little fish.
My husband gave it to me last year and now I've bought one for my daughter. My little fish are still hanging in the bathroom window, where the morning sun comes in.
I ordered two calendars, one for my mother and one for my mother-in-law. They live on the same street and I'm sure they'll compare fish every morning from one doorstep to the other.
The calendar is empty but the little fish are still hanging in the kitchen window. When the sun is low, in January, they throw blue and orange light across the whole wall. I bought it for myself and I have no intention of taking them down.
My granddaughter and I hung all 24 in the window after Christmas. Whenever she visits she stands there and tells me the name of each one. Her favourite is the pufferfish.
Beautiful little fish, but I'd have loved even more sharks. The hammerhead and the whale shark are the loveliest in the whole collection. Now they're all in the window overlooking the harbour.
I honestly thought there would be printed pictures behind the doors. When I held the first little fish up to the window I was lost for words. It's real glass and looks like something I could find on the beach.
I bought it for my wife as a Christmas present. Every morning she opened a door with her tea and read me the name of the fish. Now they're all in the living room window, and I have to admit I look at them too.
I moved the little fish from the tree to the landing window. In the afternoon, when the sun comes in, the whole staircase turns turquoise. The neighbours have asked me where I got them.
I gave it to my mother, who has lived by the sea all her life. She rang me every morning in December to tell me about the fish of the day. It's the loveliest present I've ever given her.
I opened the doors with the twins, my five-year-old grandsons. They took turns deciding who got to open and I explained what a lionfish is. Now the little fish hang in the window of their bedroom.
I bought it for myself after a hard autumn and it became the loveliest thing about December. Now the little fish are in the bedroom window, and the first thing I see in the morning is the sun shining through the glass.
On Christmas Eve the whole sea was hanging on our tree. Our guests thought the little fish were antique glass from a gallery. I didn't say a word.
I bought it for myself and I wish there were more doors, because 24 mornings go by far too quickly when you're having this much fun. The little fish are gorgeous, especially the deep blue manta ray.
I collect sea glass and I've seen so many imitations online, so I didn't expect much when I bought it for myself. But it's real frosted glass with soft edges, just like when the sea has worn it smooth over the years.
We put up the tree on the first Sunday of December, as we do every year. The last little fish, a big whale shark, came out of door 24 on Christmas Eve and my granddaughter was able to hang it at the top of the tree. It was the best moment of the evening.
I bought it for my mother-in-law, who is hard to buy for. On Christmas Eve she sat down in front of the tree with all 24 little fish and said it's the loveliest tree she has ever had. I had never heard her say anything like that.
Merry Christmas from the mountains. I opened the last door this morning and now the tree is full of little fish sparkling in the candlelight. My husband says it looks like an aquarium, and that's a compliment 🐠
I bought it for myself and it has made my mornings so much lovelier. I would have liked suction cups to be included, because after Christmas all the little fish are going in the window. Four stars just for that.
A friend gave it to me and every morning I send her a photo of the fish of the day. Today it was the swordfish, which shines blue in the morning sun.
I bought it for myself and it's the first Advent calendar I've had in so many years. It's my moment with a cup of tea at the kitchen window, before the rest of the house wakes up.
I was afraid it would look better online than at home. But the little fish are even lovelier in real life. The angelfish has yellow and blue stripes that sparkle when I hold it up to the lamp.
I open the doors with my granddaughter every morning before nursery. She has named every fish and the pufferfish is called Bubbles.
Gorgeous calendar. Four stars only because I've been waiting for the seahorse since 1 December and it still hasn't come out. My patience is being tested.
I bought two, one for me and one for my sister who lives in Leeds. We open the doors together on the phone every morning and then argue about which fish is the prettiest.
My daughter gave it to me. The box is so beautiful I almost didn't want to open it, and behind every door is a little fish with its gold loop, ready to hang on the tree. Four stars because I'd love there to be one with little birds too, I'd buy it straight away.
I bought it for my mother, who is 78. She can't see well any more, but she sees the colours when she holds the little fish up to the window. She says it's like having the sea in the living room, next to the nativity scene.
Door three gave me an intense turquoise manta ray. I put the calendar on the windowsill so the sun hits the open doors. I bought it for myself and every morning I get as excited as a child.
Gran and grandson every morning at seven. He's four and runs straight to the calendar before he's even put his socks on. The shark is the coolest, he says.
Lovely little fish and a lovely box. Three stars because I was hoping for more orange fish, it's the colour that stands out most at my window. Otherwise I'm happy so far.
The second little fish was a blue tang. My husband thought I'd picked it up on the beach, the glass looks so real. I bought the calendar for myself and I keep it in the window.
I bought five, one for me and one for each friend in the sewing group. We have a chat where we share the fish of the day every morning.
First door today, a clownfish glowing orange under the kitchen light. I bought it for myself and I've never been so moved by an Advent calendar, and I'm 64 ❤️
Your review will appear as soon as we've linked it to your order. It means a great deal to us and to anyone deciding on the calendar.
24 different glass fish, one behind every little door. Clownfish, blue tang, lionfish, angelfish, pufferfish, seahorse, tuna, swordfish, shark, hammerhead, whale shark, manta ray and 12 more. No two are alike.
Just like the photos. Every little fish is handmade from sea glass: a frosted, translucent surface with colours that shift as the light hits them. In front of a window they shine blue, turquoise and orange.
Every little fish has its own gold loop on its back. Hang it on a branch of the tree, on a thread in the window, or on a twig in a vase.
No. No chocolate and no sugar, just 24 glass fish to keep.
That's the reason almost everyone buys it. The calendar comes in a gift box you can give just as it is, and it opens every morning until Christmas Eve. For your mum, your mother-in-law, a friend or yourself.
Yes, together with an adult. Lots of grandmothers open the little door with their grandchildren, and then the fish are hung high up on the tree.
Almost everyone hangs them in the window. When the sun hits them, they make little rainbows on the wall all year. The next Christmas they come out again with the other decorations.
Of course. One for Mum and one for you is the most common order. Several calendars in the same order travel together.

The parcel was beautifully packed, everything in order and identical to the photos on the website. A lovely surprise.
I had a few doubts because I didn't know the shop, but everything went exactly as promised. Payment was simple and secure.
I gave it to my mother-in-law and she loved it. For her it was the most appreciated gift of all.
This is the second time I've ordered here. Everything as described on the website and a level of customer care you don't take for granted these days.
Careful packaging, easy ordering and a shop that replies. I'll order again.
