Is this a safe space to admit that nothing makes me more excited for the holiday season than advent calendars? Since you’re reading this, I’m going to assume yes! Truly, unwrapping a lil prezzie each day makes me feel like a kid at Disneyland. And despite what you might think, since becoming a *checks notes* adult, I’ve had even more fun scouring through my options because—get this—advent calendars for adults exist and this year’s are cool as hell. Seriously, some of the best adult advent calendars of 2024 have everythingggggg—from makeup and sex toys to treats for your dog and jigsaw puzzles for the family. And I know, I know, it’s only October but advent calendars sell out so quick, so I recommend jumping on this ASAP. To get you started, I present you with a list of advent calendars that you need to have on your radar.
If you aren’t completely onboard the advent calendars hype train just yet, allow me to get you up to speed. Unlike, say, just one cool Christmas gift at the end of the month, advent calendars allow you to replicate that joy for multiple days (or throughout the month!) with a singular purchase. Aside from buying myself one each year, I’ve found that it also makes for a fantastic early holiday gift for your loved ones. Don’t know what to get your sister this year? An advent calendar from her favorite makeup brand will do the trick. Struggling to find a gift for your neighbor? Get them a candle advent calendar. Or maybe you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy. Enter: an escape room-inspired advent calendar. The options are endless.
And while the holidays still feel a little way down the road, again, these calendars sell out quick. So what are you waiting for? Below, I’ve rounded up the best way to countdown the final days of 2024 with luxury candles, makeup, wine, and sex toys.
