For Day 10 of my “Key Chains Advent Calendar” opening, we have…
…a blue dinosaur with red details. At least, I think it’s supposed to be a dinosaur. There’s a prominent blue stripe down the dinosaur’s white belly, along the seam line, that I’m fairly sure was not a deliberate design choice. The keychain also seems a bit out of place, stylistically, when compared to the other keychains from this advent calendar that I’ve opened so far.

…a panda. Honestly, there’s not much to say about this one, except for the fact that the pink spots on the cheeks are shaped like hearts.
Signed, TreesaWe’re 8 days into my “Key Chains Advent Calendar” opening, and the keychain for today is…
…a cute puppy with a festive red scarf. The scarf actually has a ‘knit’ pattern molded into it, and the puppy’s molded ‘fur’ is textured.
Signed, TreesaOn the 7th Day of my “Key Chains Advent Calendar” opening, the calendar gave to me…
…a potted cactus. The cactus flowers resemble misshapen hearts, though that could just be a coincidence. Also, the dark gray flowerpot has the phrase “Sunny Day” on it. I don’t know if this is supposed to be significant, or if it’s just a randomly chosen phrase.
Signed, TreesaWe’ve reached Day 6 of my “Key Chains Advent Calendar” opening. Today’s keychain is…
...an ice cream cone with a more than passing resemblance to Hello Kitty. While I’m not that knowledgeable about the Hello Kitty franchise, the bow placement and the simplistic facial features are unmistakable. The bow seems a bit misshapen on one end, but I can’t be sure if this was a manufacturing defect or if it was done deliberately to accommodate the keychain findings. Or it could have been a combination of both, since some of the pink coloring from the bow ended up on the loop at the top that connects to the chain and keyring.
The kitty head shaped ice cream scoop also has an odd translucent quality to it. I’m unclear whether there’s some pink coloring in the translucent mix, or if the translucence is just reflecting a portion of the pink color from the bow.
Signed, TreesaDay 5, and today's gift from my "Key Chains Advent Calendar" opening is...
...a snowman, with a cute hat. For some reason, the design of the hat, plus the red and yellow (almost-but-not-quite Gryffindor house colors) color scheme, makes me think of the handknits made by Mrs. Molly Weasley in the Harry Potter series.
Signed, Treesa
Day 4 of the "Key Chains Advent Calendar" opening, and the keychain for today is...
...an avocado. Avocados may not be festive per say, but their signature green color can often be associated with the holiday season. Avocados were also a full-blown, social media food trend, tied to millennials and hipsters. Granted, the avocado's cultural significance peaked in the 2010s, while this calendar is dated 2021. Still, at least the Chinese manufacturer made the attempt to cater to their overseas customer base.
