A Rūķupaka contains 24 different surprises and 24 elf letters. Depending on the age group, the pack includes toys, crafts, practical items, activities and a few sweets. It is not 24 identical sweets or a random assortment of trinkets.

Not quite. With an ordinary advent calendar the child opens one window a day; with Rūķupaka, an elf brings the surprises to the child's Christmas stocking. On top of that, a Rūķupaka includes 24 elf letters along with age-appropriate, personalised contents.

Rūķupaka packs are made for four age groups: children aged 1–3, 4–6, 7–10 and 11–14. This way, you can choose a pack with gifts and activities perfectly suited to your child’s age and abilities.

Rūķupaka is not an anonymous shop-bought calendar. When ordering, you add your child's details, and the pack includes gifts made personally for them. This makes the pack the elf brings feel more personal, and some of the surprises can be kept as keepsakes long after Christmas. In the elf letters, too, Emils and Elza address the child by name and invite them to share in the goings-on of the Elf Village.

We start preparing your Rūķupaka order as soon as it's placed! As each pack and its personalised gifts are prepared with care, this may take up to 7 days. But don't worry - we guarantee that your order will arrive before 1 December, just in time for the Christmas magic to begin!
