What to do with old Beauty Advent Calendar boxes?

I'm in a quandary as to whether to throw them out or how best to use them and store them.

I have 3 old ones from Liberty and Fortnums. The Liberty one in particular is so lovely I can't bring myself to chuck it.

Any ideas? Especially as I'll no doubt have another arriving soon Grin

People sell on eBay. I was looking at a Liberty one the other day. They go for quite a bit. Like over £15 at least. Now with eBay you can choose to give a % to charity.

I refill and give to our little niece, her birthday is Dec 1st 😍

I'm refilling via dh my old Liberty with this years Liberty GWP & John Lewis event box

Another Liberty one is used for dc but I've seen them go for £50 regularly on eBay.

Oh I love these, I dont have any because i can't bring myself to spend that much on a calendar where if I am completely truthful I won't use most of it

(Except 1 day I will have a Jo Malone one)

Thank you ladies, I had no idea they are worth so much.

@raffle I love the idea of refilling it for your niece!

The Liberty one might be worth wrapping in tissue paper and preserving to become an antique!

@Sussexbonfireviking I'd love a Jo Malone one! I was gifted a townhouse box years ago and loved it.

I have the liberty box from 2 years ago. Last year I bought playmobil set and put each part in a draw for DD to open each day during advent.

One day!!

Dh bought me jo malone last year or the year before. Really not worth the money imo. 4160 Tuesdays would be better. I'd forgotten about it - will maybe try selling one on eBay myself this year.
