The GUND 12-Day Surprise Plush Advent Calendar transforms the holiday countdown into twelve thoughtful moments of discovery and soft-toy joy. Behind each window is a 4-inch GUND classic plush figure — from iconic teddy bears to playful puppies and more — all crafted in the brand’s signature soft, surface-washable materials.
With dimensions of approximately 17.8″ L × 11.7″ W × 3″ D, the decorative box features a red brick-building design and a hand-painted winter shopping scene that sets the stage for each reveal.
This calendar not only invites daily excitement, but also supports developmental benefits: opening each window builds anticipation and sequential thinking, handling soft plush supports tactile development and fine motor control, and the collection of mini-friends fosters imaginative and responsibility-based play. Ideal for ages 3+, it makes a meaningful gift, stocking stuffer alternative, or classroom countdown ritual. Finished plushes become keepsakes, reinforcing the value of building traditions rather than just consuming objects.

About
Barnes & Noble
Barnes & Noble traces its roots to 1873, when Charles M. Barnes began selling books from his home in Wheaton, Illinois. In 1917, his son William joined G. Clifford Noble in New York to establish Barnes & Noble. The company entered a new chapter in 1971, when bookseller Leonard Riggio acquired the Barnes & Noble name and flagship store, beginning a period of growth that would help shape the modern American bookstore.
Under Riggio's leadership, Barnes & Noble expanded across the country and introduced its distinctive superstore concept, bringing together an extensive selection of books with a welcoming atmosphere where customers could browse, discover new interests, and spend time exploring. The stores also expanded beyond books to include educational toys, games, music, and gifts.
Today, Barnes & Noble continues to connect readers and families with stories, ideas, and new discoveries through its bookstores and online shop. Its range extends from children's picture books and young adult fiction to puzzles, games, creative toys, and collectibles. By bringing reading together with opportunities for learning and play, Barnes & Noble remains a destination for families looking for inspiration, entertainment, and thoughtful gifts.
