These unique Advent calendars from British illustrator Angela Harding are something special. Along with her superb linocut block prints—full of wildlife, cozy cottages, and snowy winter woods—they feature die-cut side panels that unfold to let them stand up on a table or shelf, while each opened window adds something new to the scene. Whether horizontal or vertical, the calendars measure nearly 15½ ? 11¾ inches and include a white cardboard envelope, for storage or for mailing to a loved one.

A beautiful barn owl catches the attention of a passing rider in this serene image, and the calendar includes another large owl as a cutout, swooping down between the trees.
