Toys, makeup, collectibles, chocolate, and food—advent calendars have been rising in popularity in recent years as a gift or a tradition during the holiday season. These ten calendars may differ in theme but seem to be the show-stoppers this year.
Growing up, advent calendars consisted of a little piece of chocolate for each night leading up to Christmas. These calendars have advanced to a broader spectrum of gifts in recent years.
Internet and social media forums, but mostly local opinions crown these ten as the most valuable advent calendars.
1
The Lego set advent calendar is entering at number one. This is a great gift for someone of any age and not too expensive. It can be gifted to a variety of people and has many possibilities for the theme.
2
Second, there is the Needoh advent calendar. This may be less popular, however, its little trinkets are good for fidgeting on the go to focus or keep kids busy. Junior Sofia Karipidis chose this for second for its funny look, but she also has prior knowledge of other Needoh toys.
3
The Netflix advent calendar comes in at third place. It is one of the more popular calendars since the streaming service is already popular. Each day is focused on a different show/movie and the gift matches.
4
In fourth place is the Sephora advent calendar. It is surprisingly affordable and includes mini versions of real products, such as perfume and makeup. Junior Aileen Mulvihill thinks highly of this calendar because she is gifted a similar Elf advent calendar every year.
“Because I love makeup, my dad buys it for me for Christmas”
5
Fifth place has the Laneige advent calendar. While it’s more on the expensive side, its contents have lasting effects. It offers face masks, skincare, and lip masks.
6
Entering sixth place is the Funko Pop advent calendar. These are specifically focused on characters in shows and movies. Each day brings a different character or a different version of said character.
7
The Pura Vida advent calendar wins seventh place. Each day has a different string bracelet in multiple colors, sizes, and styles. Other bracelet advent calendars are child-like with beads and a string but this one is high quality
8
Eighth place is awarded to the Bluey advent calendar. This is farther down due to its focus on the younger generation.
9
Ninth Place has the hot sauce advent calendar. While many might not gravitate towards this particular condiment, it’s the perfect gift for spice lovers.
10
Lastly in tenth place is the Lush advent calendar. There are very useful products in the calendar, but it is the most expensive in the group
Any gift that one is gifted will be great, these are just a few ideas to get into the holiday season.
