Additionally, some brands process advent calendar products based on pre-orders and requirements. So, it is recommended to find the right one for you & place your order right away.

The historical significance 

While beauty advent calendars are being promoted and cherished more in recent times, do you know the historical significance it holds? The origins of this lovely, traditional countdown to Christmas began in Germany way back in the 19th Century. Back then, people used to mark each day of advent by either burning a candle for the day or by marking walls and/or doors with a line of chalk each day until Christmas day. Eventually advent calendars were made as homemade gifts. Advent calendars are a great gift for people who love to get gifts that have historical significance, not just your skincare obsessed bestie.

The right size of beauty advent calendar

Advent calendars can be any size from 10 days to 30 and sometimes even more. The usual model that most people prefer is 24, where you can open one item each day from December 1 until Christmas day. Though some brands do offer 12 day calendars that often hold more value in each individual day.

Brand based beauty advent calendar or a theme based advent calendar

This is completely a personal choice. If you opt for a theme based advent calendar, products from multiple brands that fit in the theme will be present. For example, if you choose a makeup or even more specifically an eye makeup advent calendar, eye makeup products from various brands will be curated in your advent calendar. However, if you are looking for skincare advent calendars then opting for something from the same brand will be a better option as you can layer the products without having to research ingredients or mix and match.
