We absolutely love Christmas and every year we try and find the best advent calendars. In this guide, you will find kids advent calendars, beauty advent calendars, alcohol advent calendars, DIY advent calendars plus more.
Like most people we always eat too much at Christmas time we tend to buy advent calendars with small gifts in rather than the chocolate ones.

10 of the Best Beauty Advent Calendars
Latest in Beauty Advent Calendar
Now we love Latest in Beauty and you can read our review of one of their subscription boxes. This box like all of their monthly subscriptions is excellent value for money. This beauty subscription box only costs £65 but the contents are worth £274!!!
Cath Kidson Advent Calendar
John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar
This luxurious advent calendar is going to set you back £150, however, the price of the individual products would be £255. So an absolute bargain!!!
2019 Molton Brown Advent Calendar
Yes I love Molton Brown, this includes soap, moisturiser and perfume so this is just perfect for any woman. But this is the most expensive beauty advent calendar at £175. The advent box for 2018 I personally thought was a bit boring. But I am loving this one for 2019.
Elemis 12 Days of Christmas Advent
I LOVE this! Stuart has a very spectacular beard that he is very proud of, and spends more time grooming it than he does anything else!
Adult Advent Calendar
Advent calendars are not just for kids, oh no, us adults deserve some fun too. I have searched high and low for the best alcohol advent calendars I could find in 2019 and have listed them below.
24 Days of Jollying Up Your Gin
I know this isn’t exactly alcohol, however, these gin mixers every day is a great idea. We all have a bottle of cheap gin in the cupboard so why not spice it up every day!!
Personalised Wine Advent Calendar
Prosecco & Champagne Advent Calendar
Other Advent Calendar Ideas for Adults
Personalised Coffee Advent Calendar
I hate coffee, BUT, Stuart absolutely loves it, which is why the Nespresso machine is only used by him. This is a great gift and can be personalised with any name.
We love Happy Socks in this house and this is probably the one I will be getting for Stuart this year. It costs £149.95, BUT it contains 24 pairs of socks! This works out at only £6.25 each which is a huge saving!
Fill Your Own Advent Calendar
I love DIY advent calendars, where you buy something once and each year you chose your favourite products to add.
DIY Tipsy Alcohol Advent Calendar
As I have never hidden the fact I love wine, this is a great option for me!!! I love the fact you can fill it with your own favourite wine! So only white for me!!
Wooden Personalised Advent Calendar
This is adorable, and something you will cherish for years. This could either be for kids or a mix of gifts.
What I love about these is you could hide these around the house, or leave them in a new place when the elf on the shelf returns!
