Kicking off things with a BIG BANG now aren’t we?? The earlier the better in my mind and it’s time to get down to gifting goodies you love to give AND they love to unwrap. ‘Tis the season friends… let’s get this party started by thinking about holiday countdowns! Every year I look forward to this tradition and it’s one of my absolute favorite ways to make December even more magical… advent calendars make every day a little happier and brighter! I started this tradition when the girls were tiny and the amazing memories we made each time we opened a tiny treat or gift each morning made the season feel that much more special = it’s a little daily gift of good we can all use!!
So for my first 2026 holiday gift guide, it’s time to take a little peek at some of the most FABULOUS advent calendars for everyone on your list. I shared this Anthropologie 24 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar back a month or so ago and you all fell in love with them just like I did… it’s packed full of 24 days of incredible brands we all know and adore including Living Proof, Sunday Riley, L’Occitane, Salt + Stone, Peter Thomas Roth, Tocca and more and the under $100 pricetag makes it something everyone can enjoy [perfect teen gift = trust me]! Better grab them fast because they sell out every year. AND if you’re looking for something within the $50 range, the 12 Days of Beauty Calendar is another great gifting option as well!
Speaking of all things beauty, my friends at SkinPharm debuted their iconic Advent Calendar earlier this week and it instantly sold out online. A few of their clinics still have a few in stock if you’re on the hunt for this one… valued at over $600, it retails for just $188 and us adult beauty lovers know this one is LEGIT… hence why it sells out year after year!! Trust me, it’s time to treat yourself to something special but shop it fast! Perfect for the ladies who need some self care during the crazy busy holiday season!
Now let’s move onto more gifting essentials you should absolutely check out! And these aren’t just the chocolate-filled calendars we grew up with [though me and my sweet tooth still love those too!]. Now you can find everything from luxury beauty sets at Ulta and Sephora, to cozy kitchen goodies from Williams-Sonoma, to festive finds from Anthropologie and Nordstrom. No matter your style, budget, or who you’re shopping for, there’s an advent calendar out there that’s guaranteed to spread cheer and make the countdown to Christmas that much better + brighter.
So of course I had to do some investigative reporting… I’ve rounded up the best of the best in this seasonal lineup, and trust me, you’re going to want to snag these before they sell out! Once they are gone, they are gone for good… let the official countdown to Christmas commence!
