Who could have guessed when the first beauty advent calendars hit the shops a few years ago, that they would become such a huge phenomenon.

Back then, only a handful existed and they quickly sold out – but now there are tons to choose from, each offering 24 days worth of pampering pressies in the lead up to Christmas.

There’s a better budget range too, with calendars starting from less than £15 (AED 70) and going way up to three figures for luxury selections.

Forget cheap chocolate and cheesy jokes, you need to wake up to treats from the beauty advent calendars which have got us excited for December.

Is it too early to start talking Christmas? Probably, December is still a month away, but, we’ll admit we have already heard a couple of Christmas songs in the office! And if you want to make your countdown to Christmas extra special this year, then you need to purchase one of these limited edition beauty advent calendars, or better still, persuade someone to buy one for you!
