Anyone bought a grown up advent calendar this year?

[Chloefairydust]

Was thinking about getting an advent calendar for myself this year as a treat for myself for Christmas, and probably another one for my partner too (so suitable for a man).

Theres loads on the market, beauty/ skincare ones, drink ones, I even saw one in George the other day with Christmas pants in, 😂…

Im a little overwhelmed with the amount of grown up advent calendars out there, so wonder if anyone has any recommendations?

Im looking for something that’s good value for money, as in I don’t want to spend more than the products are actually worth to buy separate. Also please warn me of any that you know of which are completely crap and that I should avoid.

You should totally treat yourself!😁 @Lovelydovey

I don’t often treat myself to expensive things but always make a point of buying myself a present for my birthday lol , I have never bought myself an advent calendar before but I thought why not, it’s kind of like a Christmas present for yourself isn’t it? 😂

The beauty ones all look interesting, I like the look of the M&S one but I think I’m going to get the earrings calendar for myself.🤔

I’ve gone for a fine wine one for £150. A bit spendy but glass sized portions & looks great.

I might get the M&S beauty one too.

I got a jewellery one from Etsy, the pictures looks good

We released our first stationery advent calendar this year and were delighted by how well it sold - I'm now debating the cultpens one for myself as a treat, because apparently even running a stationery subscription box doesn't result in me having enough sodding stationery and pens and pretty inks to play with 😂

I’ve got a Lindt ball one with 24 different flavours! I thought I’d appreciate them more if I ate one a day rather than my usual all in one go!

Got my eye on the Healeys Cornish Rattler cider Advent calender. 24 mixed bottles.

Can you give us a link if there’s any left?

We like the Gibsons jigsaw puzzle advent calendar - a mini jigsaw each day gibsonsgames.co.uk/products/christmas-adventures-advent-calendar-jigsaw-puzzle

I've got the Nuxe one

I absolutely love Nuxe

DH has a Lego Star Wars one this year

This year I have the Naked Marshmallow one

The earring one looks nice, I may get that one too.

We do tend to enjoy sock ones also, so useful

DM buys my sis and I a No7 one each year, I do actually use about 90% of the things so they're quite good value

I like the look of the sock shop one but I really don't need 24 pairs of new socks, or do I?

We've gone for the Chocolate one again. Had a Hotel Chocolat one before which was nice

I've bought the M&S one. I haven't received it yet but it looks good! I'll be opening it all at once though rather than one a day 😅

I’ve resisted beauty ones for myself this year as I’ve got so much stuff left from previous ones. I did get DS1(24) an anglers calendar full of rigs and other bits, and DS2 (16) a Marvel sock one in adult sizes. DH just rolls his eyes at the thought of AC so I don’t bother getting him one.

I’ve gone for m and s for dd, my protien for ds and a dropper one for dh. Should be fun.

Has anyone had the L’occitane one? Thinking about getting it for my mum. Like the Teapigs idea too.

I've got this arriving any day now!

I ordered the earrings one for myself and a cheese one for the BF, a jam one for my mum (Because I just know she will love it!) and then I did a bit of Christmas shopping buying people presents from M&S and so was tempted and bought the M&S one as I was spending over £30 there anyway so thought why not lol. The M&S one I will open all the boxes straight away and any items I won’t use I will use for Christmas presents 😁 … The earrings one I will open a box a day during December and that will be my official advent calendar, I love how you can pick the earrings so I know I will love them all!😆

Im so Excited about my advent calendars, I feel like a kid again! 🤣

Ohh! Yes of course, if mnhq don't mind :)

And also massively recommend the cultpens ones if you're a stationery fiend 😁

That was supposed to quote @DenbyChina's request, not me randomly spamming, but it's been a long day and I have sausage fingers 😂

The Pact coffee advent calendar is a real treat - becoming a staple for us.

I've got the M&S beauty one coming any day. I've ordered one before and was very impressed with the products.

I’m not going to buy myself any kind of advent calendar, but if I had a spare £65 I’d buy the Liz Earle one. £165 of products for £65.
On a totally unrelated note, can anyone lend me £65? 😂

I like Arran but usually buy in December when it's cheaper

Lots of gorgeous shower gels and hair bits
