It’s officially December, folks – we’re getting closer and closer to some much-needed time with family and friends, but at the same time, our holiday shopping days are also drawing to a close. If you’re in need of some last-minute gift inspo and you’ve missed the train on a full advent calendar (the kind that must be a gift at the beginning of the month), may I suggest you go for a smaller bunch?
Many cool and fun brands have created a mini version of the advent calendar, one that is only 12 days and honestly, I prefer it. Opening presents every morning for 25 days in a row might sound like a lot of fun at first, but to be honest, it’s a lot to remember!
Lucky for you, I’ve rounded up some of the best advent calendars on the market for you to peruse. I’m talking about beauty, games and even wine. Keep reading to see which ones you can grab before the season of giving is officially over.
