Late Christmas shoppers bag £563 worth of ‘perfect gift’ beauty products for £65

Scottish skincare company Flânerie is offering science-backed vegan skincare products worth over £563, and is now 10% off with a special code

The countdown to Christmas is well and truly on, but it’s not too late to grab an advent calendar and join in the festivities. For those who love all things beauty and skincare, now might be the ideal time to dive in, as Flânerie is offering its 12 Days of Mindful Glow 2025 calendar at a hefty discount.

The Flânerie beauty calendar, packed with £563 worth of top-notch vegan skincare goodies, is priced at just £72. Even better, punters can currently bag an extra 10% off when they use the code ‘MINDFUL10’, slashing the price down to £64.80.

Billed as ‘a ritual behind every door’, this Flânerie beauty calendar is the ultimate self-care indulgence for the winter months. The brand draws inspiration from the French notion of ‘flânerie’ – the art of leisurely strolling – urging its customers to take a breather and treat their daily skincare routine as a chance to be a tad more present and mindful.

Tucked away within the calendar’s compartments are 12 concoctions that boast science-backed active ingredients and natural botanicals, all 100% vegan and cruelty-free. The items have been handpicked from Flânerie’s best-selling products, spanning cleansers and masks to creams and serums.

The Balancing Gelée Cleanser is one of the brand’s hot favourites, featuring niacinamide, glycerin, and vitamin E to bolster the skin’s natural barrier. There’s also a Pore Refining Exfoliator tailored specifically for lacklustre complexions, aimed at brightening and smoothing the skin, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Other products include a Restorative Face and Eye Night Cream for effective overnight rejuvenation, a Nourishing Lip Treatment for deep hydration and protection, and an array of masks. Once all the drawers of the Flânerie calendar are opened, you’ll have a complete skincare routine at your fingertips, ready for those much-needed moments of tranquillity.

As for when to kick off the countdown, that’s entirely up to the lucky recipient. Some prefer to start 12 days before Christmas, counting down from the 13th. Others stick to tradition, marking the days from Christmas Day to Epiphany (6 January) – making this beauty calendar a splendid gift to unwrap on Christmas morning.

Elsewhere, Boots is selling this Macmillan Advent Calendar with 24 days of beauty treats for £44, down from £90. It features a selection of products from brands including No7, Liz Earle, and Soap & Glory, and £2 from every calendar sold goes to Macmillan Cancer Support.

On the makeup side, shoppers could get this Revolution: The Superdrug Edit advent calendar for £40. The 24-day collection is worth over £100, and includes a wide range of cosmetics for creating bold looks for the festive season.

The Flânerie 2025 beauty calendar has been winning over customers with glowing testimonials from delighted buyers. One satisfied shopper gushed on the brand’s website: “Beautiful box and gorgeous products. I have not used all of the products as yet, but I have noticed a difference in my skin with the ones I have used. Would recommend it to my friends, and I will certainly be interested to see what’s in the 2026 advent box. I will buy more products.”

Another enthusiastic customer declared: “Amazing products inside and worth the price.”

Meanwhile, a third buyer praised: “Great value for money! The products feel high quality and I love that everything is vegan. Totally worth every penny and it makes a perfect gift too!”.

One reviewer shared their thoughts on the Dark Circles Relief and Uplift Eye Serum featured on the Flânerie website, noting in their detailed assessment: “One tiny criticism is for packaging. It would definitely benefit from something to massage around the eyes with, like sometimes other companies do have those rollers at the end.”

A purchaser of the Nourishing Lip Treatment, which comes in the calendar, awarded it four stars and observed: “Feels silky and smooth on application. Not super long-lasting, but great for daytime use.”
