2. Pukka Tea Advent Calendar for £11.45
Tea lovers will be thrilled with this Pukka advent calendar, currently on offer for £11.45, down from £12.99. It features 24 unique teas, many with a festive twist, perfect for discovering new favourites in the lead-up to Christmas.
Flavours range from wild apple and cinnamon to vanilla and manuka honey. One satisfied customer said: “Great alternative to a chocolate advent calendar. Very speedy delivery.”
Another shopper commented: “I wish the flavours were a bit stronger on some of these, but other than that, this is a fun advent calendar for tea lovers.”
3. Revolution Beauty Advent Calendar for £36
For those looking to try out new makeup options, this calendar is reduced from £48 and includes 24 different treats, such as a mini shimmer bomb lip gloss, lipsticks, a blending brush, liquid highlighter, powder puff, and much more.
A delighted buyer said: “My granddaughter loved all the products. She opened all the boxes within 2 days! The calendar was recommended on the This Morning programme as suitable for teenagers. I took a risk to buy it and am pleased to say it’s been a success.”
The Revolution Beauty advent calendar has sparked debate among shoppers, with one commenting: “It’s a nice enough calendar and decent value, but it would be more appropriate for a teenager rather than an adult woman.”
4. My World Advent Calendar for £29
This advent calendar has been brought to £29 from £29.90, and is a hit with arts and crafts enthusiasts, offering a creative journey around the globe. A satisfied customer shared, “We are on the third day now, and so far, I am full of praise.”
They added, “This is something different and fun as well as having educational value. Everything except items like glue is included which makes a welcome change and my grandson can get on with the day’s project without delay. The finished items are great.”
However, it’s important to note that this calendar requires a QR reader and internet access for video instructions, a point raised by another shopper: “This product requires the ability to read a QR code and be able to connect to the internet for the video instructions for each craft. There are no paper instructions on the product. I don’t have an issue with this method as such, although I feel it is misguided.”
5. Scrumbles Dog Advent Calendar for £8
If you’ve ever caught your pooch gazing longingly at you as you munch on your advent chocolate, you’ll know they’re eager to join in the festive fun. Pet lovers can treat their furry friends with this £8 dog advent calendar (reduced from £9), packed with 24 treats to ensure they stay on Santa’s good list. One satisfied pet parent raved: “Scrumbles treats are consistently good value, and my dog loves them.”
