Keith's sister made us this large (30" by 40") Advent wall calendar quite a few years ago. Each hand-decorated pocket contains an attached laminated card printed with a Scripture verse that sort of applies to both Advent and to the picture on the pocket. The year that we received the calendar, Karla filled the roomy pockets with little toys for each of our kids -- four little things in each of the 25 pockets.
We've simplified our Advent traditions over the years. Some years I've put four chocolates in each pocket; other years I've placed one toy in each pocket so the child whose "turn" it is to read the Bible verse receives some small toy; still other years it's one chocolate per pocket, again for the child whose turn it is to read from the designated card.
