There’s truly no better holiday gift for a beauty lover than an advent calendar stocked with cosmetics. No matter how old you are, opening up a new tiny door every day to reveal a present will always be just as exciting as when you were a kid (though back then you were definitely collecting chocolates, but we digress). Whether you opt for a skincare, makeup or fragrance-themed beauty advent calendar (or a mix of everything), you’re ultimately treating your lucky recipient to an opportunity to play with new products — ones they might not have tried otherwise.
The variety of beauty advent calendars is really what’s most alluring about these fabulous gift sets. The greater the number of surprises inside, the greater the odds your loved one will discover at least a few things they adore. Another perk is that if you added up the retail price of each item, it would surely exceed the price of the advent calendar — and who doesn’t love a beauty bargain?
Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, having the opportunity to play with products and explore new brands in stores isn’t as common (let alone doable in some areas), so this is a fun, safe alternative
