This years Advent Calendars are started to be released and here are a few of my favorites:
1. QVC Beauty Christmas Advent Calendar 24-pc. Collection ($78.96): I think this is the one I am most excited about. It includes 24 trial-sized products (you can find a full list in the link) from brands like The Nest, tart, L’Occitane, philosophy, Josie Maran and more! (Thanks to Kristy for the heads up).
2. Pourri & Co. 24-piece Assorted Advent Calendar ($59.72): I also found this “Spritzmas Advent Calendar” while browsing on QVC. It includes 20 4-ml trial-size sprays, three 13-ml Potty Mouth breath mists, one 10-ml Glitzy Spritz Refillable Sprayer, and decorative advent calendar box
3. Benefit Candy Coated Countdown ($99): This calendar includes 24 mini beauty treasures for a total value of $150. Items are either a Benefit bestseller or surprise gift and you can find a entire listing of the products included in the link.
4. Ciaté Mini Mani Manor ($60): This set includes mini paint pots, glitter sprinkles, caviar pearls, cute nail transfers, and a full-size paint pot treat in a special, limited-edition shade and has a total value of $199.
There are also some FABULOUS calendars from The Body Shop, Selfridges, Jo Malone, Liberty, etc. which you can check out here, but they are available in the UK only. Boo! Hopefully there will be more available in the US soon. I know Starbucks did one last year and there were a few cool liquor related ones as well.
Do you do an Advent Calendar every year? Do you buy one or make your own? If you make one, what do you include in it? I picked up a Lego one for the boys this year and I know they are going to be SO excited. We also do a book one that I have posted about in the past.
So tempting, especially the one from QVC. However, I think I’m going to wait a little longer to see what other options appear.
I want the QVC one to go on sale 😉
I saw the QVC one recently and wanted it to badly!! Wonder if they will lower the price at all?
Have you seen the one from benefit? So pricy, but I still want it. Fingers crossed that one of these beauties goes on sale at some point.
Yes,it’s #3 in here! It’s SO cute, but yes, so much! Maybe with a Sephora F&F code though??
Jennifer,
Thanks so much for putting this together. I love them all. For those that are looking at the benefit advent calendar. it was $69 last year and sold out really quick but I think this one will sell out too so I would get it and hold on to it then if the price goes down return for lower price.
The Sephora Friends & Family deal would make it a deal too!
There is a reason you are my hero. 😉
Thanks ver interesting blog!
I bought the Starbucks advent calendar last year and loved it. It came with caramels and a $5 gift card which I took out and filled each magnetic tin with candy better suited for my daughter. I plan to use it again this year but I want to come up with something other than candy to fill each tin. The entire season is full of cookies and candy anyhow. I just don’t know what yet. Any ideas would be appreciated!!
I got mine at Target after Christmas for 70% off 😉
Omg I’m jealous. I of course paid full price.
Well I mean I didn’t get mine until January either….
Starbucks’ advent has been released:

i have heard terrible things about this year’s benefit calendar! i’m still deciding what to use my sephora code on.
It’s just so much more expensive than last years. Well, maybe $20 more, but it seems like a lot more.
My family does the Lego Star Wars Advent calendar, we love it!
I think I got the City one, but I stashed it away so quick I can’t remember.
Wow, I didn’t know these existed! Of course we do the kids one, but one for mom too would be fun! Thanks for sharing and keep us posted of any others you find or if the QVC one goes on sale 🙂
Oh I totally will!
I am so, so jealous of the advent calendar options in the U.K. I did some googling and they have some *amazing* options: Jo Malone perfume, Boots drugstore, The Body Shop, and Yankee Candle all do advent calendars over there!
Oh I know! They have so many amazing ones.
Oh….I soo wish the selfridges one was available here in the US!
Me too!
I did the Lego Advent calendar for several years with my son. I kind of miss those days now that he’s a tween! Speaking of which, I accidentally put on his shoes this weekend. It’s scary when your baby wears the same size shoes as you do!!!
That is scary! I am going to be sad when my kiddos are too old for advent calendars. I guess I could just make my own??
I love these! I will probably get the C
*Ciate one because my twin girls just love painting their nails. So I think it’s something we’d all enjoy.
Hi Jen, I made one for beauty & subscription box lovers and selling on ebay. You should check it out, you may be interested! Seller name Dcangodess!
