#Ad – some items have been gifted but have no impact on this post
Christmas is fast approaching and even at the age of 34 still, have an advent calendar. Let’s face it, it is probably the only time that we allow the whole family to eat chocolate before breakfast!
However, the market for advent calendars has changed massively over the last few years with a huge range of different choices on the market now. If you have not brought your advent yet, here is a round-up of some of the most popular ones on the market.
Kayleigh has had a Smiggle advent for the last 3 years and she loves it. Every year she can’t wait to see what is included in the advent this year. It is her favourite shop and she loves getting some items on the calendar that you might not be able to pick up in the store. It is currently on offer too in their Black Friday sale!
Boots have launched a Macmillan beauty calendar this year with £2 from every calendar sold going toward Macmillan Cancer Support, so you can treat yourself whilst giving something back to charity. Packed full of beauty favourites such as Liz Earle, No 7 and Soap and Glory, you can look after yourself in the run-up to Christmas.
If you know someone that is looking for a healthy alternative this Christmas then this protein ball advent from Protein Ball Co. is that perfect gift, With 6 different flavours behind the doors and a special on Christmas Eve, these are the perfect treat for those looking to be a bit healthier. They are also vegan, wheat free, soy free and high in protein and fibre.
I’d love something like this calendar! I am a huge fan of Yankee Candle and they are my little treat around the house. They smell amazing and this set is perfect. It also has my favourite scent to, Black Cherry.
This advent is perfect for someone that is looking for a sweet treat however are not keen on chocolate. This buttermilk fudge tastes amazing and makes a great change from the usual chocolate. This calendar has 25 doors, with each day you getting a delicious Buttermilk fudge and on day 25 you get a full-size Milk Chocolate Caramel Sea Salt Fudge Bar, I look forward to that.
Are you a fan of wine? This may be the calendar for you then! John Lewis now has a wine calendar which includes 24 mini bottles from around the world. With a combination of red, white and rose wine to choose from, there is something that will suit all taste buds.
Do you have an advent calendar? I’d love to know which one you get 🙂
