A puppy? In an advent calendar? That’s howlingly indulgent, Tamara!

- By Charlotte Griffiths

IT takes a very special gift to spark the excitement of a little girl who has everything money can buy.

But the glee of billionair­e Tamara Ecclestone’s threeyear-old daughter Fifi is plain to see as she clutches a dachshund puppy after finding it was her gift for the ninth day of advent.

While traditiona­lists are angry that the calendars now feature chocolates rather than Nativity scenes, Tamara’s advent gift takes the concept to a whole new level. Posting a photograph of her daughter, Tamara, 33, announced the arrival on December 9 of the puppy saying: ‘Welcome to the family cutie.’

Fifi looked delighted as she cradled the puppy, posing beside two open doors of the giant calendar – a replica of Tamara’s London mansion.

Tamara, eldest daughter of Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone, has her work cut out to fill the 25th window tomorrow – Fifi has been begging for the one gift money genuinely can’t buy: a real unicorn.
