Someone on my facebook page posted that Shopper's Drug Mart has peanut free advent calenders this year for $1.99.
Shopper's has a LOT of pf candy.
You're so lucky you're in Canada. I ordered a peanut-free advent calendar from Peanut Free Planet last year. It was made in Canada.
Guardian Angel Foods has one you can order for $8.99 plus delivery. It's peanut, dairy, and egg free. May contain traces of wheat.
I've never tried it, but the Guardian Angel products I have tried are delicious.
That was the brand we purchased last year. I used to salivate over their ads for cakes in Allergic Living (before I got switched to American version of the magazine). I'll purchase one again this year and also order the egg/nut-free gingerbread house kit again. DD has already asked about making a gingerbread house again this year.
We do the Lego Advent calendar :)

Us too and this year we got the Star Wars one! I might go get the city one so both boys have a lego one to open.
And YAY for us... we can do a REGULAR gingerbread house kit this year .... no restrictions (well, other than no sesame)
We do lego as well. I haven't picked out up yet, be I want to find the star wars one
I saw the Star Wars one in Zellers a while ago. Don't remember which one though.
I think Target had a nut/egg/gluten free advent calendar last year. I may just go buy one that I can fill with safe candies instead. Outset is more but can be used for multiple kids from year to year.

I just ordered out Guardian Angel advent calendar yesterday. DD is excited.

Thank you, I am going to pick one up today. :)
We also get the lego one, but DS has been eyeing the chocolate advents this year.

I noticed today that Shopper`s has two peanut-free advent calendars!
1) Les Chocolates Vadeboncoeur brand
2) Life brand
So two choices! :)
does anyone else think the chocolate in most advent calendars tastes pretty nasty? Yuck :disappointed:
But of course, my MIL still buys them for the boys..... one of whom doesn't even EAT chocolate (unless it's on a reeses cup! lol)

The Les Chocolates Vadeboncoeur brand advent calendar at Shopper`s should be different as they make good tasting chocolate!! :)

But we're not canadian and don't have access to that brand I don't think? (I don't want it for allergen reasons but I DO find the chocolate SO gross in most of them). Is there a place to order that brand online?

I am not sure if it can be ordered on-line.. you could check at their website (sorry I didn't have time to check, 2 kids climbing all over me now)
The peanut-free logo is on it

Sometimes Peanut Free Planet can get things like that. They do carry that brand sometimes so I would email and ask them.
Hi there,
Can you please tell me which Shopper's location you saw the Vadeboncoeur ones? I have called about a dozen SDM and can't find them.
Thanks!

I found it at the Shoppers by the Bloor-Yonge subway station next to the Bay. I will check tomorrow and see if they have any in stock and post here tomorrow night to let you know :)
Thanks for your help!
Hi there,
I actually managed to find them at a Shoppers by my workplace in Mississauga. If anyone's interested the price for these are $5.99 and there are only 24 days on the calendars.
