2025 Advent Calendars

I feel like every year advent calendars get better and better and at the same time harder and harder to decide which one to get. Last year, I chose a jigsaw puzzle one. Every day was 20 new pieces to put together the big picture. That was a lot of fun because it gave us an activity to do together. There really is something out there for everyone and they are more wide reaching now. 

I've put a list together of a few that I think are fun! I don't know which one I'm going with this year yet and I'm kind of leaning towards something I haven't done yet. A treat a day, I mean you can't really lose with whatever you pick!

Book Lovers 

I might go with one like this. I haven't done a book one yet and I love the idea of a book per day, chapter per day, etc. Perfect for the avid reader in your life! (featured)

 

Keep It Classic 

No one said there's anything wrong with sticking to the traditional sweet treats. I'm not a huge chocolate lover, so I don't often enjoy them enough. I do have a soft spot for Williams-Sonoma peppermint bark when I do want chocolate around the holidays, so I had that calendar one year. If it's chocolate calendars you are after, the world is your oyster with many options and price points. (featured)

 

Kids 

So many fun kid options now! I saw a Playdoh one that I would have died for as a child. This science one seems like a blast since it's an activity that parents and kids can do together and make learning fun. (featured)

 

Bath Lovers 

This Lush bath bomb calendar is what dreams are made of. I don't use bath bombs super often, so this would easily last someone like me a year. A gift that keeps on giving! The Christmas scents are among their best. (featured)

 

Skincare 

With skincare and beauty options, I'd say these are what truly catapulted the world of advents into a grander bigger audience and flipped the switch on what they could be. I think skincare is a great option. I personally don't believe you can go wrong with L'Occitane. For instance, the almond shower oil has a permanent spot in my shower. It's a year-round savior.

Showtime 

The calendars for movies and shows are *chef's kiss*. I had a Gilmore Girls one and loved it and still use so many of the trinkets. The best one was the Luke's coffee stirrer! I love the looks of this Wicked one and I can see it satisfying any of us fans of the musical, books, or movie(s)! (featured)

 

I'm not judging you if you want multiple to treat yourself to each day! There is something out there for everyone to enjoy and learn about the spirit of Advent season. I hope you find one that you love this year and that it brings you great joy every day!
