I love advent calendars because they give you something to look forward to in the days leading up to Christmas and when involving food or drinks they behave similarly to a sampling!
Advent calendars are such fun ways to count down to Christmas, especially if you create a tradition around them! There’s literally an option for everyone, no matter your age or preferences!
HOME
Whether you’re searching for the gift of fragrance, ambiance, or classic holiday decor, this section is the perfect place to start.
Diptyque
The ultimate gift for the scent-lover! I’m personally obsessed with this brand and this would make the most deluxe gift.
Voluspa
I consider burning candles to be a form of self-care and having twelve mini candles to burn sounds like heaven.. and I know I’m not the only one who feels this way!
Lenox Advent Calendar Ornament & Tree Set
This is such a classic piece of holiday decor and always a fun way to count down until Santa’s arrival.
Wedgwood Ornament Advent Calendar
A grandmillennial’s dream! These gorgeous keepsake heirloom ornaments would make a beautiful festive display in your home, especially on this sparkling mini tree!
BEAUTY
These calendars contain products for skincare, makeup, and everything in between!
Lush
For anyone who LOVES a deluxe bath situation.
Beekman 1802
My family members with sensitive skin swear by this brand and use their products almost exclusively. This would be such a thoughtful gift for someone who struggles with skin sensitivity and has difficulty finding products that aren’t irritating!
George & Viv
The ultimate primping gift set!
Net-a-Porter
A great mix of products from a variety of amazing beauty brands, including makeup, skincare and more!
Dr. Barbara Sturm
The name you trust in skincare with an incredible assortment of products!!!
Charlotte Tilbury
This iconic brand’s advent calendar features their products that have become cult favorites in the industry, coming in a mix of both travel AND full-size! The beauty guru in your life will love it.
GOURMET
These would make such great gifts for the foodie, the home chef, or literally anyone who loves to eat and / or drink!
Bonne Maman
I find this brand’s jams and preserves to be the best store-bought option. What a fun way to try all of these delights without having to commit to full-sized jars!
Luxury Gourmet Advent Calendar
This box is essentially a sampling of Williams-Sonoma favorites / best sellers so you really can’t go wrong!
Nespresso Advent Calendar
This calendar would be an excellent gift for someone who either already has a Nespresso or as a gift pairing if you plan to also gift a Nespresso machine!
Sugarfina
For the sweet tooth fans!
Kringle Village Advent Calendar
This advent calendar features both edible treats and little trinkets
Wine Advent Calendar
As a big wine lover, this sounds like such a fun way to explore an array of wineries and varietals leading up to Christmas! A fun way to unwind after holiday shopping, hosting prep, gift wrapping, or even sip while cookie baking.
Beer Advent Calendar
Such a fun way to try a variety of beers without having to commit to a full pack of each flavor!
TOYS
I couldn’t leave out a toy section now that I have my own bébé and need to start paying attention to play items again!
My First Advent Calendar
So cute (and safe) for the tiniest tots!
Play-Doh Set
I would have loved this set as a kid (but, I mean… who doesn’t love Play-Doh?!).
FAO Schwarz Dinosaur
For all the little dino-lovers in your life!
Playmobil
I was a HUGE Playmobil fan in my childhood so this calendar totally took me back!
Barbie
Love this idea — you get one doll and then every day a new set of items to accessorize her with! So clever.
Model VW G-Wagen Advent Calendar
For the more advanced builder (or maybe the “adult child” in your life), or vehicle fan in general!
City Puzzle Advent Calendar
This is pretty meta: New Yorker magazine cover art made into a puzzle, then split up and a part of an advent calendar; amazing. Also available here!
PETS
Let’s not forget our furry friends!
Dog Toy Gift Set
Some people view their dogs as their babies, which I totally respect! Those furry companions deserve their own countdown to Christmas as well and this little toy / treat set is just the thing!
Dog Treat Advent Calendar
Somehow I feel like this box would get destroyed if your pup got their paws on it, but it’s such a fun idea for the pup in your life or as a gift for the person who is obsessed with their dog(s).
Cat Toy Gift Set
As someone who prefers cats (don’t come for me, dog lovers!) I couldn’t forget my feline friends!
YOU-FILL
These options are especially fun as you can fill the calendars with custom morsels and trinkets special for your recipient! These are calendars that can be reused year after year and become a fun tradition, especially for families.
Woodcut Chalet Scene Advent Calendar
This one is cool because of the illumination aspect of a skiing scene that gives it a warm, festive glow.
Light Up White Advent Calendar
The crisp, clean white design of this one makes my aesthetic-loving heart so happy; plus it has lights too!
House Advent Calendar
This calendar feels rustic and charming, like it belongs in the Swiss Alps. So cute!
Happy [holiday] shopping, friends!
Sending hugs —
xx, Natalie
