Turn your dice advent calendar into year-round storage, a display piece, or a gift for another gamer. Practical reuse tips for after the holidays.
Quick answer
Repurpose your dice advent calendar as a modular storage system for your dice collection, a display case for special sets, or a gift for a fellow gamer. The calendar's compartments are ideal for organizing dice by set, color, or type.
Why reuse instead of discard?
A dice advent calendar is designed for daily reveals, but its compartments are perfect for storing and organizing dice long after December ends. The sturdy box and individual drawers or windows keep dice separated, preventing scratches and tangles. Reusing it saves money on dedicated storage and gives your collection a tidy home.
What if the calendar is damaged or incomplete?
If the box is torn or some compartments are missing, you can still repurpose the intact drawers or trays as loose dice organizers inside a larger box or bag. For calendars with removable inserts, consider using the outer box as a decorative storage container for other gaming accessories like tokens or miniatures.
Diagnosis: What to do with your dice advent calendar after the holidays
- Symptom: Calendar is empty and taking up shelf space: You have 25 dice sets (or fewer if you gave some away) and a box that once held them. The box may feel like clutter now. Check if the box is sturdy and all compartments intact.
- Likely cause: The calendar was designed for daily reveals, not long-term storage: The compartments are small and individual, which is actually ideal for organizing dice by set, color, or type. The box often has a lid or closure that keeps dust out. If the box is intact, you can repurpose it immediately.
- Corrective action: Repurpose as a dice storage or display system: Place each dice set in its own compartment. Use the calendar as a travel case by closing the lid and securing with a rubber band or ribbon. Alternatively, remove the inserts and use the box as a decorative storage for other gaming accessories. Label compartments with small stickers or washi tape for quick identification.
- Stop or choose another option if: The box is damaged or you want a different look: If the box is torn, stained, or missing parts, recycle it and use the dice sets in a standard dice bag or tray. If you prefer a uniform storage solution, consider a dedicated dice vault or binder.
