It's commonplace to see kids and parents alike scrambling on Christmas Day to find batteries for newly acquired toys, so the Currys LOGIK AAdvent Calendar is intended to ensure this isn't an issue this year. The advent calendar takes an unexpected approach to the countdown to the big day by offering 24 doors that each hide a battery that kids need to collect to power their new toys on Christmas. This takes a practical approach to the tradition and is being offered now for just £5, but only while stock lasts.
Category Manager Michelle Gorringe-Smith spoke on the Currys LOGIK AAdvent Calendar saying, "The last thing any family wants on Christmas Day is stressed parents and kids’ quivering bottom lips when they realise, they can’t play with their favourite new toy as batteries weren’t included. We’ve all been there! We want to help parents all over the country have a very merry Christmas rather than one with tears and tantrums, making sure they can make the most of important family moments. This is why we’ve created probably the most boring advent calendar out there, but certainly the most useful one.”
