I've actually forgotten loads of what is in there! I deliberately haven't revisited so I can have surprises! I hope I'm not disappointed 🤣

@keepincool someone posted this on thread 9

Thank you 😊

So I ended up going for the Jarrolds edit. Times 2. One for me and one as a gift. I am now doner than a done thing. 😀.

Cult Beauty still shows as in stock for me through my wish list. https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/beauty-box/the-cult-beauty-advent-calendar-classic-curation-worth-over-1-100/16582920/

Oh God - I need to STOP buying !! I loved the Jarrolds edit so much that I’ve just ordered the Jarrolds 12 days advent calendar for me and my son’s girlfriend to share …. (And then had to get ones for the men in the family too so they weren’t left out !!)

I have spent more on beauty / skincare stuff in the last month than I have in the rest of my life!
I blame you lot 🤣

They are gorgeous gifts !

This is just a daydreaming moment.
I found an unusual niche AC!
For the health conscious amongst us, may I present the Healf AC at just under £350

https://healf.com/en-uk/products/the-healf-advent-calendar-2025?variant=46867309625583&twsource=google&twwadid=&twcampaign=22908589335&twwkwdid=&gadsource=1&gaddcampaignid=22908590625&gbraid=0AAAAAoQ3uJXRXMmjoAul0WhiFDJJSKOA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrP3QlrOOkQMV8ZhQBh0ikTbEAQYCiABEgIoofDD_BwE

No idea who they are but this AC would make an impressive gift for the individual who has everything, can afford anything and is into health, nutrition, supplements etc.
actually this would be a very good corporate gift.
I don't understand what most of these things are supposed to do but it looks cool and I'd be delighted if someone gifted this to me (together with the Guerlain AC of course if they really wanted to wow me).

I’ve been holding back from degusta and missed that post @bendybusbuggy1thank you for the update. Looks good this year.

Don’t want to ruin my S&B cred but I’ve used healf they’re good for high quality protein and carb gels. I’ve had the Bimble and Bolt calendar before, it’s for runners, and loved the socks in it and the little flap jacks and bites.

Hi,

Opt-in deals at Quidco:

£20 c/b at Very on spend £200+
£30 c/b at Liberty on spend £125+

Limited availability.

I had Bimble and Bolt last year and I love their socks - still use them.

Theres some amazing non BAC to be had. We’ve done wine, cake, protein, football facts etc etc

I heard them talking about calendars in Capital Radio yesterday and they were acting all shocked about them not being plain chocolate ones and I was thinking their minds would be blown if they came on over to this thread!!

I think I'm actually looking forward to opening my Bon Maman AC more than any of the other 5 calendars I've ended up with this year 😐

@wohmum , I feel your pain!

I LOVED bon Maman last year!

Ihad Bonne Maman a couple of years ago and it was SO good!

I’m looking forward to opening my new big card a/c. I still miss the one we had at home when I was a child that had pictures of the Nativity. There used to be fierce arguments about whose turn it was to open a door 😹, (simpler times!)

The face the future sparkle edit is now £199. Oooo, do I, don't I? 🤔🎄✨🎉

Oh football facts sounds amazing! Wouldn’t have thought of that.

I would probably manage to use most of that Healf calendar @Branster….. Not buying it though.

Haven't heard of Bimble and Bolt. Will investigate.

I had the Bonne Maman calendar one year and enjoyed it.

OK I have looked at the Bonne Maman calendar and am feeling swayed now! 33 including delivery on their website.

Do it! I've also got a Bird & Blend tea advent to go with my jammie treats 😋
