Advent Calendars 2025 - Let the Unboxings Begin!!

[itsfi]

The holiday countdown has begun!! 🎉 Please use this thread to share your advent calendar unboxings. 🎁

Whether you open all the doors to your calendar at once, or you open a box one day at a time and follow the traditional schedule (e.g., 24 day unboxing beginning on 12.1 and 12-day calendar unboxing beginning 12.13 or 12.25), WELCOME!! 

For those of us who just can't wait to see what goodies are in our advent calendars, if you will be opening all the doors/boxes at once before the end of the season, please consider hiding your unboxing posts behind a spoiler tab so those who want to be surprised day by day can still do so.

@caitbird, who doesn’t love socks?! 🧦

Olive and June advent calendars are available for preorder! The 25-day Christmas one is $75; the Hanukkah one is $64. I got their Christmas one last year and it was a fun one.

@Cissy63, you may have most of the items that would be in this calendar but thought you might be interested?

Astrid & Miyu, the jewelry brand, has released the first sneak peek at this year's advent calendars - this is the 12 day option, which will be $500 (there are 24 day and solid gold options, as well). If you download their new app, you'll get first access when they're released.

This is beautiful @caitbird . 🧐🏷️.  I will admire it from afar

[caitbird]

@danielledanielle  haha, same here! it is too pricey for me but I love to look. 🤷‍♀️

[caitbird]

Here's a cute advent calendar for the young (or young at heart) - TonyMoly's 7 Days of Squishmallow Surprises. It's currently $17.50 and available at Ulta. I love the kitty spa headband! 😺

[Samtian]

@caitbird Oh I might need this for myself haha.

[caitbird]

@Samtian  right? It's so cute! 😻

[itsfi]

@caitbird, the Tony Moly x Squishmallow collab was/is a good one (I think I've tried that sheet mask!); fun to see they are doing an advent calendar. For those who are picking up one of these sets to gift to younger folks, just a note that if the calendar includes the lip gloss that in the regular line hs a tingling (some have said plumping/burning) effect.

Jewelry advent calendars are another option if you love a bit of sparkle; Missoma is releasing theirs on 9/24 - sign up now for 24-hour early access. It's $777 for 12 days of their gold jewelry (there will be a silver and a solid gold option, as well).

Astrid & Miyu is another popular jewelry brand that does an annual advent calendar, but they haven't released this year's yet. And Altar'd State has several (relatively) less expensive advent calendar options.

 She's on sale! As of 11/15

[caitbird]

@itsfi  the Beekman one is super cute. And I love how the Macy's lip advent looks like a giant lipstick, how fun! 💄

[itsfi]

@caitbird, those teams stepped up their game when it came to putting their ideas and designs together. By the looks of it, there are some good products in those calendars as well. 

[curlychiquita]

I don’t use anything from Beekman 1802, so I’m not going to buy it, but I do love how cute the circus setup is! @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@curlychiquita, I've tried a few of their skincare items and their merch is always cute, as we can tell by the design of the advent calendar! The team that came up with this aesthetic definitely deserves some kudos. 👏

[danielledanielle]

I just want the lipstick one for the packaging 😶. That's amazing!

[itsfi]

@danielledanielle, it is pretty spectacular! I wonder how large it is IRL. 🤔

[caitbird]

Margot Elena (creator of TokyoMilk, Lollia, Library of Flowers, and more), has just released this year's advent calendar. It's 12 days of mini perfumes, hand creams, and more for $115, and apparently last year's sold out in a day, so if you're interested I would jump on it!

[itsfi]

Ohhhh, this is a possible contender for me @caitbird! Love the packaging for the advent calendar too. Thank you for sharing the info! I remember hers selling out quickly. I don't know if I can make a decision today. If she had an all candle one, I might be more inclined to go for it - do you recall if she had an all candle one last year, or in any previous years?
