Advent Calendars Like Blind Boxes for Grown-Ups: The Best, Most Exciting Ones to Shop
Surprises Beyond Chocolate
Adult Advent calendars come in themes for wine and beer fans, skincare enthusiasts and puzzle lovers. They offer a daily discovery for people counting down to Christmas, whether they are buying for themselves or someone else.
The editors selected 18 calendars available to shop, with different themes and prices. The selection extends beyond Christmas treats to a variety of adult interests.
Check Days And Sizes
Before choosing a calendar, consider whether you want 12 days of surprises or a full 24-day countdown. The number of openings varies by calendar. Also check whether the contents are sample-sized or full-sized. That distinction may matter when choosing a gift for someone who likes trying new products.
Plan For Delivery
Give a recipient the calendar early enough to enjoy opening each day’s treat. Timing matters when the calendar is meant to accompany the countdown to Christmas. Some of the featured picks sold out last year. The article recommends pre-ordering or buying in advance to help ensure the calendar arrives on time.
