Winter is upon us, and you know what that means — it is time to embrace the festive spirit! Whether you are hunting for the gift or just want to treat yourself (because why not?), advent calendars are here to sprinkle some extra joy into your December days. From luxury skincare to nostalgic stories I have rounded up advent calendars that will have you counting down to the holidays with a grin. After all, who needs just one day of gifts when you can have more than that? 

Vivid boxes stuffed with beauty treats are the classics of advent calendars. Picture this: each day, you get to unveil little gems, from mini face masks for a spa-like experience at home to shimmering highlighters that will ensure you shine brighter than the Christmas lights (just try not to blind anyone in the process). And let us not forget the bonus of exploring new brands and products without committing to full-sized bottles!

Sometimes, the best gifts are the nice little things that bring a smile without being extravagant (or being very extra, why not?). Think advent calendars for bookworms, cozy socks for millennials who appreciate practicality, or stationery and calligraphy sets to inspire creative souls in their new hobbies. And let us not forget those little puzzles — perfect for unwinding after tackling those December deadlines!

Starting an annual movie marathon? Why not elevate it with some thematic advent calendars? Picture this: a Harry Potter LEGO calendar that lets you build iconic scenes while you binge-watch the wizarding world or a Grinch figure set that captures all the cheeky charm of Whoville, adding a delightful twist to your festive viewing. A truly magical countdown!

What could be better than receiving exactly what you wanted while still enjoying a surprise element? I will tell you — getting up to 25 items from your wishlist! Just grab an empty advent calendar and fill it with all the goodies you desire.
