Adult Advent calendars 2024 – because you deserve a treat too!

With 25 days worth of coffee, your December will certainly be full of beans this year! It contains enough caffeine to see you through the festive period, that's for sure! Each bag has been numbered clearly and features the name of each country the coffee is from. The expected release date for The Brew Company Coffee Advent Calendar is 30th October 2024, however, you can head over to Menkind now to pre-order and avoid disappointment.

We like that there is a mix of mild, medium, or strong brews to try. One happy reviewer said; "The standout feature of this gourmet coffee gift is the diverse selection of coffees from around the world. Each coffee represents a unique flavour profile and brings a taste of different coffee cultures. From rich and bold dark roasts to aromatic and nuanced light roasts, this gift set has expanded my appreciation for the artistry behind each coffee blend." They thought it was "a delightful gift idea for any coffee enthusiast."

Whether you're looking for stylish office supplies to spruce up your desk, or a gift for a stationery-obsessed friend, this Papier Doors of Desk Delights is worth the investment! Tucked away in 24 boxes is every piece of equipment you could ever think of - including notebooks and pads, a variety of pens and highlighters, stamps, stickers and stickynotes/tabs, bookmarks, washi tape and more! There'll be strictly limited stock though - so hurry and order before you miss out!

Our Commercial Content Writer, Arabella Horspool reviewed this advent calendar and shared her thoughts, saying; "Combining stationery and surprise, this calendar is certainly full of practical but pretty treats, including notebooks, a bookmark, index tabs, stickers and a fountain pen to name a few. The design itself is beautifully executed; the glittery box opens up at the top and the drawer slides out to reveal a second layer of goodies." We love that this gift comes sompletely plastic-free with recyclable packaging, however, the numbers on the boxes aren't always clear on first glance.

Beautifully presented, the Body Shop Advent Of Change contains 24 surprise bath and body products - they say you might discover fruity shower gels, a creamy Body Butter or two, or even a hardworking hand balm! Whatever you find, there will be plenty of indulgent things for your to enjoy and use every day and night in the lead-up to Christmas day. And although the boxes may be a little fiddle to take out, we think it all adds to the fun and suspense.

We also love that they use Fair Trade ingredients, and that the packaging is even more recyclable than last year. You get £119 worth of beauty products in a gorgrous pop-up calendar that'll make the perfect gift. One reviewer said, "I haven't opened it yet, but the packaging is beautiful! It arrived quickly with no issues, I have used some of the products inside this in the past and loved all of them. Would 100% recommend!" Another happy customer wrote; "Gorgeous as ever, quality items that are definitely going to be used by my daughter (maybe me too!) excellent value for your money and of course, kind to the world!"

What's better than chocolate? Ethically made chocolate of course! There's plenty of shocking and surprising facts about the chocolate industry inside, as well as a rainbow of yummy individually wrapped Tony's Chocoloney treats for you to enjoy, including Belgian dark, milk, and white chocolates and a variety of infusions, such as - nuts, nougat, sea salt, caramel, pretzel, raspberry, and crackling sugar. We like that they contain all natural ingredients and that each chocolate come indivually wrapped, making them easy to pop in your purse for later. not only that, but when you buy fairtrade you'll support a mission for 100% slave-free chocolate, so you can enjoy your chococalte guilt-free!

It is a really big calendar though, and perhaps a little garish, so it's not the most beautiful calendar to display leading up to Christmas and might be difficult to store. This didn't put our commercial Content Writer, Arabella Horspool off though. She reviewed this advent calendar and said : "Wow! This advent calendar is huge! It features 10 delicious flavours, making it a great gift for people who have never tried Tony's Chocoloney before. Plus, it makes a fantastic calendar to share as there's bound to be a flavour that everyone likes (if you're feeling generous, that is)."

For the cheese addicts amongst us, you’ll be thrilled with this Cheese advent calendar this Christmas. Packed with 24 different cheeses from Jarlsberg, Applewood, and Mexicana to Ilchester Cheddar Cheese, Ilchester Red Leicester Cheese, Ilchester Double Gloucester Cheese, Ilchester Wensleydale Cheese with Cranberries & Ilchester Wensleydale Cheese and Gingerbread - so make sure to dig out the crackers in the run-up to Christmas Day - Yum! If you’re pregnant and worried about the cheeses you can indulge in, double-check with a health professional.

We like that the unique 'Book Style' Packaging Design allows for the calendar to be ripped in half to fit in the fridge, although keep oin mind that this will still take up a fair amount of space in there. One reviewer who really enjooyed sampling the different types of cheeses said, "They were all delicious and the packaging was attractive. We paired the cheese Advent calendar with a wine Advent calendar and really looked forward to opening each daily offering. The cheese and wine Advent calendars have become a holiday tradition in our life."

If you’d pick marshmallows over chocolate any day, FINALLY your prayers have been answered with this marshmallow advent calendar. With 25 different flavours, including Strawberry Cream, Mint Choc Chip, Rhubarb & Custard and Fizzy Watermelon, what more could you want on a winter morning? Oh - and on Christmas Day you get an extra special treat with salted caramel marshmallow bar. The expected release date for the calendar is 18th September 2024, but you can preorder from Prezzybox now!

We like that each door reveals a joke, discount code, or fun fact, buit unfortunately this option comes without the marshmallow toaster or sticks, so you'll have to get creative if you want to toast your marshmallows before enjoying them! One previous reviewer said, "The marshmallows themselves are the perfect size- think large to giant roasting marshmallow size -so you aren't ripped off. Taste-wise I can't say much as I am only a few doors in but it's definitely for those with a sweet tooth from what I've had so far."

Beer fans rejoice, the 2024 Brewdog Craft Beer Advent is coming soon - and you can preorder now! The BrewDog Advent Calendar is back with 24 different handcrafted beers from their range of cans, including IPA's, Blondes, Pale Ales, Lagers, Stouts and Seasonal Specials, and you get a BrewDog glass and free delivery. Plus, get a £10 brewdog.com voucher if you order before 9th October.

We love that 19 cans are suitable for vegans, but if you're vegan that means you'll have to share the rest! The outer packaging is plain so it won't spoil the surprise if you're sending this as a gift. A previous happy customer said, "I brought the beer advent for my husband as he loves BrewDog. It contains a good choice of beers. He kept a list and scored them out of ten. He now has tried all the beers and he has some new favourites."

Another perfect treat for those mums-to-be this Christmas – Bird & Blend is back with their tea advent calendar. We like that you get two of each of the 24 delicious, hand-blended tea flavours, meaning there are 48 teabags in total (enough for you and your other half!) The calendar features award-winning teas, including Apple Strudel and Hazelnut Rocher to warm you up this winter, plus exclusive previews of 2025 blends - and you have the option to go caffeine-free!

Our Commercial Content Writer, Arabella Horspool, reviewed the calendar and shared her thoughts, saying: "Filled with plenty of festive flavours, the Bird And Blend Tea Advent Calendar is great for sharing. There are plenty of warming and seasonal flavours to enjoy and as soon as you open the box up, it instantly smells like Christmas. There are nice extra touches including information on how long to brew each blend for and a list to write down your top five flavours."

We wish there were some tea-related products to discover, but there is a free gift - so we wonder what that might be? If you're not keen on surprises you can check out the website and it'll tell you the ingredients of all the tea blends included. We like how eco-friendly this advent calendar is being 100% plastic-free, with 1 tree planted for every calendar.

Filled with 25 exclusive products, this calendar transforms the hectic holiday season into a daily indulgence. Each door reveals a luxurious surprise, from fragrant bath bombs to rejuvenating bubble bars, shower gels, and soaps, all crafted with Lush’s signature fresh, handmade ethos. It’s perfect for mums who need a moment of relaxation amidst the Christmas rush, allowing them to carve out precious self-care time while enjoying festive scents and soothing baths.

The reusable, beautifully designed box is made from recycled materials, adding an eco-conscious touch. Once the calendar is finished, the box can be repurposed for storage or even refilled for next year.

Features & Reviews Editor Emily Gilbert says: "Any Lush die-hard will be over the moon with this calendar. It's so beautiful and for mums balancing the demands of family, work, and holiday preparations, I love that it offers a moment of calm each day, transforming bath time into a personal retreat. Whether you’re gifting it to yourself or another busy mum, it’s a wonderful way to add a touch of magic and relaxation to the manicness of Christmas."

Create a calming atmosphere this Christmas with a selection of Yankee Candles, hidden inside an enchanting advent calendar book. Behind the doors on the shimmering constellation of stars, you'll find a mixture of small candles and tealights, with 24 days of festive fragrances to enjoy, including: Silver Sage & Pine, Cinnamon Stick, Wild Orchid, Amber & Sandalwood, Bayside Cedar, Vanilla Bean Espresso, Vanilla Cupcake, Black Cherry, Red Raspberry, Clean Cotton®, Spiced Banana Bread, Soft Wool & Amber.

Unfortunately, you don't get a full-sized candle included, but we like that there is a useful accessory to use with the tealights - a constellation silverplated glass tea light holder., so you can continue to enjoy your gift into the new year. Candles are the perfect Christmas to treat loved ones or yourself! one happy reviewer said, "Christmas isn't Christmas without a Yankee candle advent calendar and I treat myself to one every year. It arrived in perfect condition and it smells divine. I like this years' colour of the package and of course, the candles themselves. A nice mix of tealights and filled votives and I can't wait to undo the bow on Dec 1st to start the countdown."

This calendar is perfect treat for mums who deserve some extra pampering this Christmas. Filled with 24 high-quality skincare, body care, and fragrance products, it transforms the countdown to Christmas into a daily self-care ritual. Featuring L'Occitane's signature products, including the beloved Almond Shower Oil, Shea Butter Hand Cream, and Immortelle skincare range, this calendar ensures a touch of luxury every day.

As the season gets busier, finding moments to relax becomes a challenge - especially for us mums. But this calendar provides just the right motivation. From rejuvenating skincare treatments to indulgent bath and body products, each item is designed to nourish both skin and spirit. The beautifully illustrated packaging also adds to the charm, making it a joy to open each morning.

Any chocholics out there will adore this luxury chocolate calendar, and it makes a showstopping gift for someone special! As well as a broad selection of popular treats and festive favourites with 24 large doors hiding generously proportioned chocolate treats and tipples, you'll find cacao vodka and gin, as well as Velvetised Chocolate Cream and a Honey Chocolat Lip Balm - delicious!

The calendar includes thick chocolate slabs of milk, white and dark chocolate, and look out for a drinking chocolate sachet (or two!) We like that you also get chocolate-filled cracker decorations to nestle between the branches of your tree, but unfortunately you won't be able to enjoy these if you're vegan. One reviewer said, "I was very lucky and bought this as an absolute bargain. The Calendar is enormous and the contents are amazing. I couldn’t believe the size of the Chocolate Wreath, it was huge. Absolutely delighted with this Calendar."

Behind each mystery door of this adult's advent calendar is one of 12 carefully selected high-end toys and accessories for shared and solo female fun. Definitely one to keep away from little eyes! This is great value for money as you get their iconic G-spot and clitoral suction stimulator, which is worth £69.99 alone! In total you get over £230 worth of pleasure products, and although it's not the most festive box design, we like that it comes in discreet packaging for privacy.

Water-based lubricant is recommended, of course, but unfortunately this isn't included with the calendar, so it's something that'll have to be bought separately. The products aren't covered by Lovehoney's 100-Day Money Back Promise either. It's still a fab gift though! One reviewer who bought a previous advent box wrote; ""I was extremely excited to get this advent calendar. I liked they way the gifts are linked and that they are Christmassy. Most toys are red. You get a good variety of things to try and I was excited by the surprises."

If you've got a sweet tooth but you're bored of the usual chocolate Advent calendars, it's time to give this Popcorn Shed countdown a try. Behind the 24 windows are 24 bags of gourmet handmade popcorn in a variety of 6 scrumptious flavours to tantalize your taste buds, including: salted caramel, berry-vicious, peanut butter, pop n choc, pecan pie and cookies & cream. And for some family fun you get Christmas-themed jokes behind every door.

Our Commercial Content Writer, Arabella Horspool, ohas tried and tested them all and shares her thoughts about the calendar in her review: "As a popcorn fan, the Gourmet Popcorn Advent Calendar from Popcorn Shed ticks all the boxes. The box design is so festive and I love the six flavours (the standouts being Pop N Choc, Cookies & Cream and Berry-licious); you get just the right amount for an afternoon snack or you can save some of the bags up and munch on them whilst watching a film." We like that all the recioes are vegetarian, and that you can also buy calendars that are vegan and/or gluten-free, but unfortunately you'll have to steer clear if you have a nut allergy.

Chocolate is obviously Christmassy and Baileys is one of those deliciously festive drinks, so what better way to celebrate the run up to the big day than by combining the two into terrifically tempting truffles? Behind each flap you'll be treated to either a salted caramel, heart or twist-wrap truffle. Over 18's only, of course!

We like that there is a variety of three different chocolate shapes, you'll find eight of each: heart truflles, salted caramels and twist wrap truffles. One customer wrote: "Packaged well, delicious, if you like Bailey's you must try their truffles. Thank me later!" ALthough some customers mentioned that the box could be more durable.

Prepare to celebrate 10 years of mani magic with Ciaté London’s Mini Mani Month advent calendar - 10th Anniversary Edition... Join the waiting list and be the first to get your hands on the original and beloved beauty advent calendar, before anyone else. Consisting of 23 mini environmentally-friendly plant-based polishes made from recycled and recyclable materials in never-before-seen shades, plus one special surprise Christmas Eve treat- guaranteed to keep you on the top-end of style during the festive season!

We like that the bottles are made from recyclable materials, but wish that the advent calendar came with some nail accessories, a nail file or a mini bottle of nail polish remover and reusable pads would have been a nice touch. Previously a reviewer wrote: "Whilst I'm not keen on all of the colours, it's good fun trying the choices. They are pretty long lasting and easy to apply, plus it doesn't take too much spread onto skin. At under £1.50 a pot in the sale, really good value."

Who doesn't love Lindt LINDOR? This advent calendar in their iconic shade of red is a classic for Christmas. It contains 24 wrapped truffles, hearts and squares with a smooth melting filling to make December utterly delicious. Although there are two shapes to enjoy, we wish there were a variety of different flavours in this advent calendar. We do like that the ingredients are all suitable for vegetarians though, but steer clear if you have a nut allergy.

One reviewer said: "It's become a tradition that I send these to family and friends at Christmas, well November to be precise, it would be rather silly to send them to arrive on the 31st December, although the taste is so good you could easily eat all of the chocolates in one go, as my diabetic father-in-law did! First class quality, a brand name you can trust to deliver delicious chocolate to the favourite people in your life."

The Best of Thorntons Advent Calendar brings together 24 of Thorntons' tastiest and indulgent chocolate creations to enjoy during the countdown to Christmas. From their much-loved Continental chocolates, inspired by travels across Europe, to their Classic range and Thorntons Pearls with their delicious centres - and we like that they include the Orange Velvet for a festive addition!

This calendar offers a great variety you'll forward to opening dail, although it's not one for anyone with a nut allergy or gluten intolerance. One reviewer wrote: "I have bought Thorntons chocolates for years (only as a treat), so I had to try the Advent calendar. These are some of the best advents I have bought, the selection of chocolates with the chocolate pearls were great."

The expected release date for this advent calendar is 2nd October 2024, but you can preorder now! Officially licensed, this Star Wars Stormtrooper calendar is brew-tastic for any film and beer enthusiasts. They can expect to receive Galactic Pale Ale, Lightspeed Pilsner, S.N.I.P.A, Shadow Stout, Goon Squad and Space Hopera and Hoppy Christmas drinks, and we like that it also includes snacks and a fun Stormtrooper glass. It may not be the most festive-designed box but we're sure it'll live up to any true Star Wars fan's standards!
