Lady M Advent Calendar

This Lady M Advent Calendar is expensive at $80, but the wreath lights up and it includes 24 artisan chocolates and gummies. Order this for someone who loves quality chocolates and candies.

McCrea’s Caramels Advent Calendar

McCrea’s Candies, a Massachusetts-based candy shop, created this advent calendar with 24 pieces of caramel in 12 different flavors. There are no nuts or soy in these caramels.

Advent Calendar Playlist

The Advent Calendar Playlist has a QR code behind each number that will download a carol sung by an emerging artist. This a great idea for music lovers!


12 Nights of Wine

I recently shared a Vinebox tasting box with a friend and we had a great time learning about new wines. This box contains twelve world-class wines and each selection tells a story of a woman who is breaking down barriers in the world of wine. A great gift for the wine lovers in your life.

Sephora Advent Calendar

The Sephora Advent Calendar contains 24 beauty surprises, including makeup, skincare, bath and accessories. Perfect for those who love trying new beauty products.

Wufers Advent Calendar for Dogs
Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for Cats

Don’t forget about special treats for your pets. This Wufers cookie calendar is great for dogs and the Trader Joe’s Advent Calendar for cats includes a festive cat collar.
