CHRISTMAS CALENDARS 2020
It may seem a little early to start thinking about Christmas however, here in the United Kingdom we are experiencing ‘Lockdown 2.0’ and it seems everybody has just decided that Christmas starts now! So, I’ve put together a little Guide for those looking for Christmas Calendars this year.
————————————————————————————————————
‘GIVE JOY GIVE KIEHL’S’ / £89
For their iconic Holiday Calendar, Kiehl’s have partnered up with Lyon-based illustrator and graphic designer; Maïtè Franchi. Inspired by Art Deco, she combined geometric shapes with vibrant colours mixed with subtle textures creating that warm, cosy Christmas feel to Kiehl’s!
I absolutely adore this years design because it has a richness and warmth to it and feels more ‘traditional’ than previous years. Within this Advent Calendar you can begin the countdown to the 24th December and each day has been packaged into a little box that contains a little Kiehl’s favourite such as;
Powerful Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate
Creme De Corps
Ultra Facial Cream
Mr Bones (I’m not entirely sure myself what this is as I want to keep the element of surprise too!)
& many more.
Another great fact about this particular Advent Calendar is that the packaging and product cartons are made with 100% recyclable, FSC certified materials using zero plastics ensuring that everything that holds the Kiehl’s products is environmentally friendly.
As always is the case every year, Kiehl’s Limited Edition Holiday Advent Calendar has currently sold out online almost instantly however, once the shops reopen here in the U.K. on 4th December (as this currently stands), be quick to pop to your local Kiehl’s boutique as I’m sure they’ll have some in store!

‘A TALE FROM 'L’OCCITANE’ / £53
Countdown the days of Christmas by peeling back the doors with L’Occitane Advent Calendar this Christmas! Behind 24 doors lies many wonderful treats such as;
Cherry Blossom Hand Cream
Aqua Reotier Ultra Thirst-Quenching Cream
Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum
Light Comforting Cream
& many more.
The design of the Advent Calendar gives me those classic, chic, cosy French vibes and makes me long for the day when I can travel to Paris again!
As with the Kiehl’s Advent Calendar, L’Occitane’s packaging is made up from 100% cardboard alongside the inserts which are all recyclable. Currently online, the ‘A TALE FROM L’OCCITANE’ is sold out however, if you’re a fan of L’Occitane and want to get your hands on something, their ‘Web Exclusive’ is available and all L’Occitane Advent Calendars can be found here!

‘THE ADVENT CALENDAR - DARK’ / £12.50
Now, as a huge lover of dark chocolate (it’s the best am I right?) I can’t not have an Advent Calendar this year without some chocolate to wake up to!
Hotel Chocolat’s dark chocolate has been made up from a minimum of 70% cocoa for that smooth, silky chocolate taste. As always with Hotel Chocolat, they produce the best tasting chocolatey treats and have a range of Advent Calendars this year such as;
Dark Chocolate
White Chocolate
Caramel Chocolate
100% cocoa, zero-added sugar
The Grand Advent Calendar
The Everything Advent
The Advent Calendar For Two
All of which can be found here!
