These 15 Advent Calendars Are Somehow Still in Stock

The most wonderful time of the year is just weeks away, and if you want to get into the holiday spirit, consider this your sign to pick up an advent calendar. Because why wait to open up your presents when these bundles can give you a little something on the daily?

But while advent calendars of yesteryear have been filled with chocolates or toys, a new class of options are making these sometimes-overlooked kits completely covetable. Instead of jamming a 12 or 24-day calendar with items you’ll never actually use, brands are filling them with skin care, makeup, candles, and even underwear. And we’re talking about the good stuff: lipsticks from Charlotte Tilbury, eye masks and elixirs from Augustinus Bader, Apotheke, and underwear from Skims.

Of course, there’s so much more to an advent calendar than the daily surprise and delight. Since most options are filled with smaller versions of the brand’s best-selling merchandise, it’s a great way to try something new without being wasteful. Or, if you travel often, add your petite presents to your beauty bag. (Chances are, they’re a major step up from those basic hotel toiletries). And, because many brands claim the value of the advent calendars is way more than the actual priced, you can treat yourself (or someone else) without going over budget.

Advent calendars might be “in,” but finding the best ones is no easy feat. Not only are there so many options to choose from, but the most popular sets often sell out long before the holidays officially kick in. To help, we’ve culled the market for the 15 best advent calendars you can still buy—but probably not for long. With picks ranging from gold jewelry from Astrid & Miyu to skin care sets from brands like Tatcha and Kiehl’s, we have a feeling these will be snatched up in no time.

And, truthfully? The contents here look so good that we wouldn’t blame you if you opened them all in one fell swoop. However, if you can, exercising patience and restraint will help prolong the magic.
