Growing up, Advent calendars were a big deal in our house – we’d have homemade ones that would be filled with little trinkets. As I got a little older, I realized that they sold premade ones at the stores, and now I like to keep the tradition going by buying myself one to enjoy. I found some of my favorites to share here today – some beauty, some food and drink, and some paper products, too.

Fortnum & Mason // Papier // Bonne Maman
Beauty Favorites // Palais des Thes
L’Occitane // Papier x Anthropologie
Starting off with a fan favorite and a classic – the Bonne Maman jam calendar! I’ve had so many friends who have tried and loved this over the years, and the mini jam jars are just SO cute. I also love a tea-based Advent calendar, because it’s so nice to end a chilly day with a warm cup of tea. I’ve tried and enjoyed the one from Palais des Thes before, but this one from Fortnum & Mason looks great too – it looks like a really nice variety of teas.
You can’t go wrong with a beauty calendar, and there are a ton of good options. This one from Amazon has a nice mix of some of the most popular products out there right now (love Clinique’s Black Honey!), and this one from L’Occitane is chock full of all of their best products. I love that this one is full of mini sized fragrances, so you get to sample a bunch of different ones! And this Replica one has a nice selection of their different products.
Finally, for something a little different – Papier has a 24 day option, and a 12 day one with Anthropologie, both full of fun paper products like bookmarks, notebooks, cards, and more.
