THE BEST 2021 ADVENT CALENDARS


Every Christmas, I look forward to all of the new advent calendar releases. Who doesn't love opening a little mini gift every day during the best time of the year? It's the perfect way to treat yourself or a loved one with anything from chocolates to diamonds. So many brands participate with beautifully designed calendars made for adults, kids and pets. You can choose from very affordable, boujee or somewhere in between! While I love the traditional candy and 12 days of socks calendars, I decided to focus this year's line up on some of the more unique calendars that stood out to me. These all feel a little more special to me-- I would be over the moon to open any of them!

THE BEST 2021 ADVENT CALENDARS

Voluspa 12 Day Candle Advent Calendar - If you're a candle lover, this one is for you. Voluspa's 12 Day Candle Advent Calendar features twelve mini votives in their most popular scents. Each one comes in a beautifully embossed glass jar packaged in the gorgeous box. It's super sleek + luxe! Considering a lot of the other comparable "designer" candle brands sell votives anywhere from $20-40 a piece, this is a great buy. There's also a full-size advent calendar and if you're extra boujee, be sure to check out Diptyque's Advent Calendar for this year. 

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte's Beauty Dreams & Secrets Advent Calendar - Every year Charlotte Tilbury comes out with the most beautifully packaged advent calendars. The 2021 calendar is a gorgeous chest filled with both full + travel-sized products. Look at the jeweled handles! I love that it has a mix of skincare + makeup products. 

LUSH Advent Calendar - When it comes to bath bombs, LUSH is still the best in my opinion. They went all out with 25 days of products including bath bombs, bubble bars, soap, shower gels + more. It also has a mix of holiday items + their normal line in a beautiful keepsake box. 

Bonne Maman 24 Day Fruit + Honey Spread Advent Calendar - I can't even tell you the excitement I had when I found a Bonne Maman calendar! I didn't even know these existed?? If you aren't familiar with Bonne Maman, it's a French company that makes great quality jams + preserves. I switched to their products because they use simple ingredients and less sugar compared to a lot of others. They also come in a fancy little jar (which I also obviously love) so I DIED when I found their calendar. It comes with 24 days of MINI spreads that honestly is worth buying just for the mini jars. Such a unique calendar with different flavors from their regular line.

Godiva Chocolate Holiday Advent Calendar - I had to include at least one chocolate calendar and Godiva's is my top pick for the second year in a row (I featured it in last year's picks). Growing up we were always sent their candy around the holidays so I remember getting to try all the different flavors. Their advent calendar reminds me of that and feels nostalgic. It also has a RASPBERRY STAR... IYKYK. 

Keurig 24 Cups of Cheer Advent Calendar - How great is this?? I saw this new Keurig 24 Cups of Cheer while shopping at Target today + loved. I had no idea they did an advent calendar either! I don't drink coffee at home, however my dad has a Keurig so I immediately thought of buying this for him. A different coffee a day is so much fun and a great way to try new flavors. 

Williams Sonoma Chuck's Luxury Advent Calendar - Williams Sonoma has a knack for making things feel special... that's how they get that $$$. I always browse their advent calendars and came across Chuck's Luxury Calendar. It features a mix of 24 gourmet food items + cookware-inspired keepsake ornaments. The presentation and packaging of everything is also gorgeous-- definitely a twelve out of ten. Considering most of the items are edible + smaller sample sizes, the price is on the hefty side but that's to be expected with W&S. Despite that, it's very unique and perfect for all the boujee foodies!
