Help needed with advent calendar

Nc as a gift n they know usual name

Need to get this sorted as time pressing on.

Gift is for a 20 yr old female I'm a bit stuck as don't know which brands they like really aside from they asked from some morphe stuff like real technique brushes and are really very good on the modern make up techniques that the youngsters like - all that contouring and glittery bright eyeshadow and amazing eyeliner etc

I'm meanwhile still wearing the colours and using the techniques I developed in the early 90's! when I wear make up at all which is rare. I'm all about the bronzes!

It needs to be ordered online and delivered to their address as they're away at uni and want them to obviously have it by 1st Dec

So, which brands/Calendars would you recommend?

I'm sure there's a thread somewhere on all this but I can't find one plus I need guidance as don't know what brands they're likely to like and hoping you lovely lot can point me in right direction

There's this thread but it's a long read. Many will be sold out.

Guess it would be useful to know your budget.

Liberty is lovely but is £215 for example.

It depends on your budget. On the lower end you have Revolution (does a lot of limited editions with YouTube make up artists)and Superdrug. A little higher up you have Benefit and MAC. There are also some indie brands but they tend to be more expensive e.g. Melt and Kaleidos. So will you be putting the calendar together yourself with bits from various brands? Because you can get single brand calendars but I'm not sure I've seen one that's nice and not silly money.
