Advent Calendars 2025

[itsfi]

We're less than a month away from the start of unboxing season when comes to advent calendars. Excited to see everyone's unboxing!

In the meantime, let's share news and other information about advent calendars (beauty or non-beauty) as they continue to become available.

Feel free to use this space to ask questions, get ideas or recommendations for picking up an advent calendar for yourself or someone else, etc. while we wait for December 1 to roll around.

@itsfi , I ended up getting the fragrance one, so much for no purchases until Fall sale.  Right now, Bloomie's has 13%\$20 off $150 for beauty treats.

[itsfi]

Yes, yes, yes!!! *squeee!!! I'm super excited to go through and hear about your unboxing with this advent calendar. There are a few fragrances in that one that have piqued my interests. 

Hahaha, yeah @danielledanielle, my plan for a "shopping siesta" for the remainder of September is being heavily tested. 😖 Though it's really my waning willpower that should be blamed 🤣 I'm trying to hold strong for a couple of more weeks. Hoping a few items will go on sale and they'll have another beauty promo at Bloomie's next month, and going to try to wait out the Rhode release, though with the latter, I can wait to see what it is first. It will come as a surprise to some, but I don't have every color every released by the brand. I didn't say I haven't tried one of every type of product 😉 but I don't have every shade. I have a few small packages arriving next week and the week after that should keep me distracted through September.

DIPTYQUE: this was on Diptyque's international site. The US site does not currently have information regarding the advent calendar posted. @blackkitty2014 

@caitbird, look at the cat & book layout of this year's Diptyque advent calendar!!

[caitbird]

@itsfi  omg, thanks for the tag, I looove the design of that Diptyque advent calendar! Too pricey for me right now, but I can still drool over it 😅 🐱

[blackkitty2014]

Woah look at that Diptyque calendar 🥰 Thx @itsfi . I keep an eye out. I might need it 😘

[CorgiMommy]

The luxury advent calendars are always so intriguing.   But out of my price point 

[Titian06]

"Extra" is an understatement, @itsfi ! 🤣

Love the cat on the cover of the Diptyque. 🥰

@itsfi  I saw these in Canada too!!! I looked at a couple and one was already out of stock! Hopefully they come back by the fall sale!!I can’t wait to see which one everyone picks up this year!!! 

[itsfi]

I don't remember if they restock @ather, I think they may since it is rather early and I remember them being around closer to the holiday season. Do you think you'll pick one up, for yourself or as a gift?

There are 3 out now:

1 Sephora Favorites - 25 items ($99)

1 Sephora Collection - 24 items ($55)

1 Sephora Collection - 24 items (makeup and skincare) ($95)

Last year, there was also an after advent (12 days following Christmas). I haven't seen anything pop up like that this year (yet). The one on the site looks like last year's edition (and says it's OOS). 

[ather]

@itsfi  I think I only saw 2 on the Canadian site but I could be wrong. I got the 12 days after Christmas advent calendar for my mom and myself for the last 2 years. We had so much fun opening it and talking about the products! 

Hmm I’m not to sure yet. I was hoping for the after Christmas one. But it’s early. Maybe it will still get launched. 

Side note I saw Kitsch posted an advent calendar which I don’t remember seeing before. I can’t wait to see what other brands launch one! 

[CookieGirl1]

@itsfi I wish that they weren't coming out so early (I mean, can't we wait another month?!) but something about Advent calendars just makes me happy 🙂

[itsfi]

@CookieGirl1, that seems to be the feeling among many, that they come out earlier in advance than perhaps is necessary. As far as I can remember though, sale of advent calendars start early, especially in the UK. They're extremely popular there as well. I imagine there's a host of factors for the early start, including the competitive advantage that brands/companies gain or hope to gain with making them available earlier. 

[curlychiquita]

@CookieGirl1 They make me happy, too! It’s just hard to pick which one to buy because I want so many. 😄

[CookieGirl1]

@curlychiquita right?  I want them allllll 😂.

Sephora Favorites 25 Days of Beauty Must Haves Advent Calendar available now

#advent

@zxena, here's one of the advent calendars Sephora puts together. This includes a variety of products from different brands sold at Sephora. There's usually another advent calendar with just Sephora Collection products.

[zxena]

How do I order this year's advent calendar?

[itsfi]

@zxena, are you referring to one of the advent calendars that have been previously mentioned in the thread? If so, the direct site for most will have info for purchase though not all are available for preorder at the moment. 

If you mean advent calendars at Sephora including the Sephora Collection advent calendar, I haven’t seen those for 2025 yet. 

Edited 9.7.2025 to add: A 25-day Sephora Favorites advent calendar is available today (9.7) exclusively on the Sephora app. It will pop up on the site after the 7th, usually the next day. I'll try to post a tag, but there's been some issues of late with tagging new releases.
