The best Advent Calendars of the year

Zara Andrén

Why wait until Christmas to treat yourself? Count down the days before Christmas by spoiling yourself with a little daily gift. But with a wide array of categories and types to choose from we have found our favourites from different categories, to make choosing a bit easier.

A calendar for everyone

Advent Calendars have never been more popular, so it's no surprise that you can now find advent calendars in all imaginable categories. But they're not only a fun thing to do as a Christmas countdown, they're very good value for your money. So it's a great opportunity to test different products and save some money. But be quick, many of of the popular brands often sell out already during the autumn months!

Toy calendars

Toy calendars are a fun way for you or your child to enjoy a small toy a day which usually eventually leads to a full set up.

Funko Harry Potter Advent Calendar This advent calendar combines two of our favourite things, Funko Pop! and Harry Potter. This fun advent calendar contains 24 mini Funko Pop! figures from the Harry Potter universe. RRP: £42.95

Beauty calendars

Beauty calendars have in the past few years become one of the most hyped advent categories and the most popular ones often sell out within hours. And it's not hard to understand why, with everything from beautiful packaging to a great blend of makeup and beauty products from popular brands all for a very affordable price and with great value.

Lookfantastic Advent Calendar One of the most hyped beauty advent calendar might be Lookfantastic's. It sells out quickly and has done so for the past 6 years and for good reason, the content is a great curation of popular beauty and makeup products from various brands. In addition the total worth of the calendar is about £414 but it retails for about £85.00.

Lumene 24 Nordic Beauty Wonders Advent Calendar This beautiful advent calendar contains a perfect mix of makeup and beauty products from Finnish company Lumene, we also love the design. RRP: £89.90.

ASOS Face + Body 24 Day Advent Calendar ASOS advent calendar contains a great mix of beauty and skincare products that are sure to keep anyone happy for 24 days. RRP: £75.00.
