I purchased this advent calendar for my 12 yo daughter and her best friend. The bead quality is great! I expected them to honestly be some type of hard plastic. They are all metal and very bright colors. We are only half way through this calendar as you see with my pictures. My daughter is loving each bead every day. I think this would also be a cute gift for an adult as well. Highly recommend this and was a really great value for nice bracelet my daughter and best friend are building.

This was a perfect gift for my ten year old nice. I wish I had bought one for myself. The beads are high quality for the price and the bracelet is strong. There are no duplicate beads except for a green and a red bead, but since there are two bracelets there really aren't duplicates. The only complaint is that you don't get the second bracelet until day 19. Buy this; you won't be sorry.
