behind the doors
Twenty-four doors. Twenty-four secrets.
Nothing is listed here and nothing is printed on the doors. She finds out one morning at a time — and no two calendars are packed exactly the same.
Door 24 is the finale — the gift she keeps longest. What it is? Not telling. Because every calendar is a surprise mix, what's inside isn't a refund reason (see the FAQ).
december 1
The first door is the whole point.
Numbered doors, perforated on three sides, a thumb-press to open. One small thing a day for twenty-four days.

Not on the doors, not on this page. Twenty-four surprises worth up to $90, and she finds out one morning at a time.

Court Countdown is for you if…
she plays club or school volleyball
Every door is a small surprise a player would actually use — nothing she'd leave in the box.
you're a mom, grandma or aunt
It's the whole December gift in one box. One order, twenty-four little moments, and you get to see each one.
you're buying for a teammate or Secret Santa
Blush and cream go with any team colour. Two calendars save 10%.
you're a coach or team parent
Three or more save 15%. One order for the roster, shipped together.
she's 10 to 18
The surprises scale with her. Nothing in it reads babyish — blush and cream with clean numbers, not cartoons.
you want it here before December 1
Order in November and it's on her bed on the 30th. The live delivery window shows next to the button.
Not for you if she wants a specific brand of ball, kneepads or shoes — this is the small stuff around the game, not equipment. Not for anyone who needs to know what's inside first. And not for children under 3: small parts.
why this over the other calendars
The beauty calendar is for everyone. The candy one is gone by lunch. This one is hers.

questions parents ask
What is inside?
What is inside?
That's the secret. Twenty-four volleyball surprises worth up to $90 together — and not one of them is listed here or printed on a door. She finds out one morning at a time.
Every calendar is packed from our surprise mix, so no two are exactly the same.
Please read this part: because the contents are a mystery, we don't accept returns or refunds based on whether you liked a particular item inside. Damaged or defective on arrival is a different story — see the returns question below.
Will it arrive before December 1?
Will it arrive before December 1?
Free tracked shipping; delivery takes about 7–12 days in the US. The live delivery window shows next to the button on the product page. Order by mid-November and you're comfortably early. If you're cutting it close, message us before you order and we'll tell you honestly.
What age is it for?
What age is it for?
Made for players 10 and up. The surprises scale with her — it doesn't read babyish. The box is blush and cream with clean numbers, not cartoons. Not for children under 3 (small parts).
Will it clash with her team colours?
Will it clash with her team colours?
No. The whole calendar is blush pink, cream and black — neutral on purpose, so it works whether her team is red, royal, navy or green. Nothing inside is printed in another team's colours.
Can I order for a whole team?
Can I order for a whole team?
Yes. Two calendars save 10%, three or more save 15%, and the discount applies automatically in the cart. Everything ships together to one address. Coaches and team parents: if you need more than ten, email us first and we'll confirm stock before you pay.
What's your return policy?
What's your return policy?
Damaged or defective on arrival: send us a photo within 30 days and we replace it or refund you, your choice. Changed your mind: unopened calendars can come back within 30 days for a full refund. Didn't like something inside: the contents are a surprise, and that isn't a refund reason — please see "What is inside?" above.
Is the pink too much for a 16-year-old?
Is the pink too much for a 16-year-old?
It's a dusty blush and cream, closer to a ribbon than a toy. The reference for the whole design was the black-on-white volleyball ribbon that players tie into their braids. If she wears a bow on game day, she'll get it.
How do the doors open?
How do the doors open?
Each door is perforated on three sides. Press the tab with a thumb and it folds open like a little flap. It doesn't tear into the next door, and you can't see through to tomorrow — the surprise stays a surprise.
What parents and players say
She screamed at door 24
My 14-year-old plays club and I was worried it would feel like a kid's calendar. It doesn't. The door-24 gift lives in her bag now and two of the earlier ones have been to tournaments already.
Bought three for the 15s team
Team mom here. Ordered three, they came in one box, 15% came off in the cart without a code. The girls compared doors at practice every day in December. Doing it again next year.
Really good, a couple of filler days
Most doors were things she actually used. Two of the middle ones were small and she shrugged at them. Still miles better than the candy one we did last year, and not knowing what was coming was half the fun.
Neutral enough for a navy team
Her team is navy and gold and I was nervous about pink. It's more of a cream-and-blush thing, like the ribbon the girls wear in their hair. She had zero complaints and she complains about everything.
Arrived on the 3rd, so we doubled up
Ordered late (my fault, November 22). Came December 3, she opened three doors that night and was fine. If you're reading this in November, just order it now.
Grandma-approved
I don't know what a libero is but I know my granddaughter FaceTimed me every morning to show me what was behind the door. That's what I paid for.
Nice, felt a bit light for the price
The box looks great and she liked it, but I'd have paid the same for slightly bigger surprises. The last few doors were the standouts. Doors open cleanly, no tearing.
Better than the beauty calendar she asked for
She wanted a makeup one. Got this instead because she's 13 and lives at the gym. She says it was 'actually her'. Good quality, not the flimsy kind.
Secret Santa win
Teammate gift for a $40 limit. She opened it in the locker room and three other girls asked where it was from. Docking one star only because I wanted a second one for myself.
