It's never too early to start planning for the holidays! With Advent Calendars becoming trendy gifts leading up to Christmas, we thought this blog could help those with a fishing enthusiast in their life pick the best one for them!
Have you considered an Advent calendar with gifts that will last your loved one past the festive season? There are plenty of options on the market, such as beauty calendars with makeup, perfume and wine. But what about the best Advent Calendar for Dads in 2023?
Common tropes with the carp angling community are collecting their tackle in green, camouflage print or khaki. Carp anglers love to keep hidden on the bankside, so they buy green and camo items to blend in.
Carp anglers tend to take longer fishing sessions, with a barrow filled with gear or a bivvy.
If this sounds like your kind of angler, look into our Carp Angling Advent, here, for 25 days of stocking fillers.
Not just built for male anglers but for the females of the sport too, a fishing advent offers 20 plus gifts all fishing related that anglers will be able to stock up their tackle boxes with and take with them, next time they hit the bankside!
There are 3 Christmas Advents available from Angling Direct this year, one for the top 3 types of anglers; Carp angler, Coarse angler and Predator angler. Not sure which type of angler you are buying for, well let us characterise them a little bit to try to help you pick the perfect gift.
Does the angler in your life tend to go to match days or target smaller, silverfish?
Does the angler in your life dress in brighter clothing like oranges, blues, or reds?
Do they have a fishing pole in their armoury, a huge fishing net and a collection of feeders and floats?
These are some tell-tale signs that you have hooked a coarse angler!
The Coarse Angling Advent Calendar is perfect for newbie anglers too as it provides the general tackle lists that many anglers look for in their tackle box!
A daring character that targets more rivers than fishery lakes, the predator angler may take a small amount of fishing tackle with them on their ‘gone fishing’ days but likely be carrying a pair of trusted pliers, lures (little plastic or jelly-like fish) with them.
If this sounds like your angler then you guessed it, the Predator Angling Calendar is perfect for them!
We have a whole post dedicated to these advent calendars, telling you what to expect in each one, the price points and more! Read the blog, here.

The gift that will suit any angler no matter what fish they target is the Angling Direct gift card. If you are really not sure what to get the angler in your life, you cannot go wrong with a physical gift card or an e-gift card with whatever amount you choose on it.
