My family and I are fully in the holiday spirit! We’re looking forward to the Christmas season and if you’ve been to New York City, you’ll know how special it is here. One way we get into the festive spirit is with the best advent calendars. I am constantly impressed with how much better the options get each year. These actually make for great gifts if you’re doing an earlier secret Santa. What began as a chocolate advent calendar has turned into much more than sweet treats. You can find a jewelry advent calendar, beauty products, nail polish, hair care and luxury items in the form of traditional advent calendars.
While these aren’t typically full-sized products, minis are great! I would say it’s the perfect time to try out products and items you wouldn’t purchase for yourself otherwise. These are fantastic gifts but I do encourage you to treat yourself in a fun way this holiday season. What better way to do so than with a festive advent calendar? Check out our favorite limited edition advent calendars of the season! We’re putting up our Christmas tree for the festive season. Now we are checking out the latest trends for our own advent calendar for the whole family.
Let’s be real—nothing beats the excitement of counting down to the holidays with a fun and quirky advent calendar! It’s like giving yourself a daily little gift, building up to the big day with a surprise behind every door. Seriously, what’s better than a sweet treat or tiny surprise to brighten your day during the holiday season? The best part is, there are so many advent calendars out there, and honestly, there’s no such thing as a bad one! Even if it’s just a tiny indulgence, like a piece of dark chocolate or a mini toy, it still feels like a moment of joy. Whether you’re into classic holiday themes or want something more unique and personalized, there’s an advent calendar for every taste, age, and interest. So go ahead, treat yourself (or a friend) to a little festive fun!
Advent calendars have definitely leveled up in recent years! Gone are the days when the only option was a chocolate-filled calendar (though, let’s be real, we still love those). Now, you can find an advent calendar for pretty much anything you can imagine. Skincare? Check. Beauty products? Check. Fun treats for your furry friend? Check. We’ve even got beauty finds, artisanal teas and coffees, and yes, even body balms that almost look good enough to eat! And that’s just the beginning—there are calendars for everything from 15 nights of wine to olive oil to Harry Potter-themed surprises.
What’s even cooler? You get to pick how long you want your countdown to last—30 days, 15 days, or the classic 25 days leading up to Christmas. Honestly, I’m not going to judge if you decide to snag a few different ones this year. You deserve it, right? Whether you set a budget and stick to it, or you’re going all in for the best value and coolest gifts, there’s an advent calendar out there that’s just perfect for you. Happy countdown-ing!
Okay, I’ll admit it—I’ve become something of an expert when it comes to shopping for gift sets and advent calendars. Every year, I think I’ve found the best one, and then somehow, they just keep getting better and better! Seriously, the options out there right now are next-level. Not only are the most popular advent calendars making a splash, but there are also amazing holiday treats to look forward to every single day. And the best part? There’s a perfect calendar for everyone in your life—yes, even your furry friends. Figure out if the person you’re shopping for is in the market for new skincare products, tea bags, gourmet treats, hot cocoa or is a wine lover. A 24-day calendar is pretty standard but we have seen options with about half the days too. These are a great way to get more into your hobbies!
This year, my kids are super excited to pick out their own advent calendars, and it’s been a blast watching them get so into it. As for me? I’ve got my eye on the luxe Dr. Barbara Sturm calendar, while the girls are diving into their favorite beauty and skincare brands. The excitement is real!
Now’s the perfect time to get your hands on one, too—order now, and you’ll be all set to start your countdown to the holidays! Because, honestly, who doesn’t deserve a daily treat this time of year? It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a little surprise each day leading up to the big one. Happy shopping, and happy countdown-ing!
