10 Great Advent Calendars That Should Be on Your Radar This Holiday Season

It’s the first week of November, so we can all officially blast Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas.” It's also prime time to start plotting those gifts for our loved ones. What better way than to give a gift that keeps on giving? Yes, I’m talking about advent calendars! Seriously, the list is so good that I could snag these all for myself. And if I might just feel generous enough, I'll probably give (sorry, I meant “gift”) the least-liked products of these calendars to, dare I say, my loved ones! I’m talking luxurious candles, wines, skincare, and so much more.

Clarins - Beauty Treats Advent Calendars:

From their iconic face and body oils to their newer skin treatments, Clarins is one of the very few brands that has stood the test of time. Lucky for us, the French skincare brand is not coming out with just one advent calendar, but three! What’s even better is that they cater to various price points and even have a dedicated one for men.

L'Occitane- Skincare Advent Calender:

Everyone's bathroom deserves some L’Occitane. The brand known for its simple yet effective skincare is offering its Box of 24 Wonderful Treasures this Christmas! The box is packed with some of their cult favorites which include but aren’t limited to their Verbena Body Salt Scrub, Shea butter hand cream, and their entire Immortelle collection. It's skincare nirvana in a box!

Le Mini Macaron- 12 Days of Nails:

Le Mini Macaron has the most perfect starter kits for at-home gel manicures! Their new advent calendars are a dream - the pack comes with a bunch of buffers, stickers, prep pads, a mini UV lamp, and several polishes. So, in case you do end up getting this heavenly kit, I wish you a very merry manicure going forward this season!

Voluspa- 12 Day Advent Calender:

Who doesn't love candles, especially when they’re from Voluspa? Good for us, they just dropped a 12-day calendar to light up our lives, our living spaces, our offices, and even our bathrooms for a much-deserved spa-like feeling. The advent calendar consists of their signature Japonica collection and a wick trimmer for good measure. You would seriously be committing a crime by not adding this to your cart right now.

Let's finally dive into the delectable delights for those who willingly embrace food comas

Bonne Maman:

Picture this: a crisp November morning, warm toast smothered in Bonne Maman's sweet jams – guilty pleasure? Guilty as charged, and I'm here for it! It doesn’t help that the French masters of jams and jellies come out with their annual advent calendar filled with their best sellers (and ones that are limited edition too!) If you’re a jam/jelly/preserve aficionado then you know the chokehold that Bonne Maman has on us. And even if you aren't a big jam person, this should be a good enough reason for you to run out that door and at least buy their classic mixed berry preserve!

Williams Sonoma - Christmas Popcorn Advent Calendar:

Amidst the onslaught of Christmas movie recommendations, wouldn't you or your loved ones also need some amazing popcorn to go on the side? Fear not, William Sonoma’s Popcorn Advent calendar comes with not only many kinds of kernels (that I didn't even know existed) but also various amazing seasonings!

In Good Taste - Wine (Saving the best for last):

Calling all wine connoisseurs! "24 nights of 24 really good wines" – need I say more? This one-of-a-kind online wine shop came up with a mind-blowing collection of the finest wines produced in vineyards from Italy, France, and Spain, to name a few. And if the wines from the advent calendar don't quench your thirst, they've got plenty of other quality wine flights to explore!

So what are you waiting for? Most of these products are flying off the shelves faster than Santa's sleigh! Happy shopping, and the happiest of holidays <3

Much love and festive cheer, Rhea
