Every time I turn around lately I run into an Advent Calendar so I thought I’d share some of my favorite (store bought) ones with you. These are “grown-up” advent calendars, but of course there are a ton of great kids ones as well. And the so so so many awesome DIT options out there. I am thinking of doing both a book advent “calendar” for the boys and a more traditional DIY one with little gifts. We’ll talk about all those soon, but first lets talk about these:
1. Dylan’s Candy Bar Advent Tree Calendar ($30): There are lots of traditional chocolate advent calendars, but I thought this was the cutest. It includes assorted classic candies in little boxes.
2. Benefit Countdown to Love Advent Calendar ($68): So far I have resisted the urge to buy this, but I don’t know how long I can stay strong. This is HUGE and holds 21 deluxe sized samples, a charm bracelet, a charm necklace and a barrette.
3. Ciate Mini Mani Monthly Nail Polish Calendar ($58): This is another one I am eying. It’s got 24 nail polishes, glitters, nail sequins, etc. and nail pearls. I saw this at Sephora and it’s even cuter in person!
4. Selfridges Advent Calendar (UK Only) (£84): There are so many cool beauty advent calendars in the U.K. This Selfridges one is one of many. I also love the Boots one and the You Beauty one. You U.K. girls are so lucky!
5. The Whisky Advent Calendar ($245): While obviously the most expensive of the bunch I feel like it’s the most unique as well. It includes 23 different 3cl samples of whisky and one door contains a sample of 50 year old single malt Scotch. I feel like this would be a cool gift for the boss who has everything (assuming a bunch of co-workers chip in money).
6. Starbucks Tin & Chalkboard Advent Calendar ($29.95): I had no idea that Starbucks had an advent calendar until I stumbled into it today. It’s super cute and has a caramel in each tin which are reusable as is the magnetic chalkboard they are stuck on. It also includes a $5 Starbucks gift card.
Have you seen any cool advent calendars out there? Picked any up? Are you planning to make one for your kids this year? What items are you putting in it?
