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.

I've always wanted to try one of these preserves but never had the chance. I saw so many raving about this calendar that sells out every year, and it has some limited-edition flavors I had to grab it! I will open one each day when it's time. ...maybe. Not sure I can be trusted with that.

That’s so fun, @Samtian!  Great choice! 

[Titian06]

Good for you, @Samtian ! 😘  Enjoy!

[caitbird]

@Samtian  my mom loves this one! She gets it every year. Right now she is trying to hurry and finish the last of last year's leftovers so she can get started on this year's this December! 🤣

[itsfi]

@Samtian, this is a popular one. You'll have to let us know how you like it. I know there are others here who have expressed interest in it. I shall live vicariously through you - super excited to see your unboxing here on this thread and your crepes here or on the What's on your plate?. The packaging is very cute. @missjeanie 

[Samtian]

I lied. It was delivered while I was typing that message and didn't know until just now. It's heavy! I was looking up things that go good with them, and Crepes was listed. I tried to make those once and it was not good. I'm going to try again. So I will probably be doing one a week rather than everyday. Starting with 🤔 tomorrow! 

[missjeanie]

Ohhhhh Crêpes sound like they'd be delicious with this @Samtian !!  I feel like this one would be a great gift for my sister in law.... or maybe me? lol

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, does it have to be "or"? I mean, could you get one for your SIL and for you? Just a thought. One for her ... one for you ... gifts galore!!! @Samtian 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi lol.... I'm not opposed to a food themed Advent!

[itsfi]

That's the spirit @missjeanie! 😆 Gotta have some food on hand, to keep your energy up to open up those calendars every day!

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I randomly found a cheese themed one a few years ago.... I'm curious to try out new food categories! 

[itsfi]

Oh my goodness @missjeanie, I was talking with another BIC beauty a couple of weeks ago about cheese themed advent calendars. There are a lot more of them than I thought. 

So, now, I must ask, will Missjeanie Manor be partaking in a cheese advent calendar this year? 🧀

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I don't think I'll order one... but if I happen across one at the grocery store... then I could be tempted.  I'm still thinking on doing the Bonne Maman as my 'food theme'.  I'm going to try and limit myself to one beauty calendar. We'll see how tipsy I get over online Thanksgiving shopping with the girls lol

Pre-order available (through brand site)  for Biossance 8-day advent calendar 

 

[missjeanie]

8 days??? lol, what the heck, I always thought 12 felt short compared to 24!

[itsfi]

Hahahaha! Some even offer 7 days @missjeanie! I dunno how some of these folks are counting down the days between Christmas and New Year's ... or maybe I should be asking what exactly is in the egg nog that their counting ends up with 7 or 8 days in an after advent calendar??!!! 😳

@danielledanielle, a good one for the MM fan or a fab way to introduce someone to the brand. I do wish that that MM ornament was a part of the advent calendar - as an ornament or a diffuser.

[danielledanielle]

Yes, I wish they included the ornament, toooooo @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@danielledanielle, next year? 🤞🏼 

[CorgiMommy]

Wow,  that is a great looking gift @danielledanielle
