How do you count down to the big day? Do you celebrate with a morsel of chocolate? Indugle in some Provençal treats? We’re snapping up Meri Meri’s charm bracelet calendar for ourselves (from chic Studio City stationery shop Bonjour Fête) for a little X-mas…ahem, charm, but that doesn’t mean we’re not snagging another for some daily surprises this month.
We’ve got a slew of great picks that fête the holiday in unexpected ways. There are sleek and chic body products, ultra-luxe home fragrance, a few more traditional chocolate picks from big-name chocolatiers, and even a few quirky picks that’ll have you looking forward to opening a little gift every night. Beauty brands are big on advent calendars — L.A.’s very own Nyx and London-based Charlotte Tilbury have their versions on offer this year — so if you don’t have a sweet tooth, there are still plenty of ways to get in on the festivities. Oh, and for the true traditionalists, we’ve got a chic tabletop advent calendar that’ll have you wishing it was Christmas all year long.
