Best Advent Calendars for Kids, Teens and Adults!

I had a lot of requests for the best Advent Calendars for kids, teens and adults last year so here you go! This guide is great if you want a gift that keeps on giving and would be a great gift from the Elf on the Shelf. Your elf should gift this creative Hey Clay calendar or Gund calendar. I love this food advent gift featuring asian sauces or this wine advent gift that has lots of yummy wine blends. The LEGO gift for boys or girls makes a great Christmas gift. Gift your grandmother this fun stationary calendar or granddad this mystery tackle gift.

Best Beauty Advent Calendars 2026!

I adore a Beauty Advent Calendar for her Christmas gift or Birthday gift. It’s such a treat to have 12 or 24 days of little mini treats to look forward to each day. I have included luxury Beauty Advent Calendar gifts that range from a total splurge of $660 (Augustinus Bader) to a fun beauty advent calendar under $100 (12 days of Lips). If you want a great beauty advent calendar for teens the Revolve Advent Calendar is always a best seller on my blog. These 2 fragrance advent calendars (Lovery and Jo Malone) are fun for your perfume lover.
