Countdown Me In
I’ve already covered greetings & wrap – the other big tradition I like to feature here early on in the holiday season is advent calendars. As you may have noted, over the past few years, the advent calendar market has exploded well beyond those $2 paper ones you buy at the grocery store checkout. Nowadays you can find advent calendars with everything from a 50-year-old bottle of scotch nestled inside to a pretty beauty product to test out each day. And I’ve picked out a few of this year’s top picks so you can countdown to Christmas in style.
Benefit Advent Calendar – $119 @ Sephora
While definitely a pricier pick, Benefit is one of the top beauty brands out there – and this collection features so many luxury-sized samples, you’ll be well-stocked until next year. Each day of the adorably designed calendar features anything from a lip colour to a cheek stain to a pore perfecting primer, plus a few non-beauty surprises, like hair ties and notepads. It’s a particularly excellent pick if say, your wife is a diehard Christmas fan or if your daughter has a birthday leading up the holidays.
Lego Advent Calendars – $39.95 – $49.95 @ Playvalue Toys
Ignore the ages on these boxes – Lego maniacs have gone crazy for Lego’s lineup of advent calendars over the last few years, and the brand is obliging by releasing three brand new sets this year, each with over 200 pieces. For the traditionalist, there’s the Lego City playset, that depicts a charming, bustling holiday scene. For the ladies, you’ve got the Lego Friends collection, that allows you to build a range of scenes as the girls get set for the holidays right alongside you. And finally, even Darth Vader is in the holiday spirit in the slightly pricier Star Wars option. The best part is there’s more fun to be had every day in the lead up to Christmas as the scene literally unfolds before your eyes (and fingers).
24 Days of Tea Calendar – $34.50 @ DAVIDsTEA
One of the best deals out there is also one of the most popular. The DAVIDsTEA advent calendar tends to sell like hotcakes – apparently an initial run released at select stores and online on November 1 sold out nearly instantly. But it’s supposed to be in ALL stores as of November 7, so be sure to scoot down and scoop one up before it disappears off the shelves for good. Apart from the brand’s perennial favourites, it also features samples of some of the latest and greatest seasonal faves, like Bubbie’s Baklava and Santa’s Secret. And at under $50, it works for everything from a hostess gift for a fall supper to a birthday gift for a November birthday baby.
Playmobil Advent Calendars – $28.99 each
The Playmobil approach to advent calendars? Basically it’s choose your flavour. From a pretty unicorn palace to a fantastical dragon battle royale to a festive holiday scene to a cops & robbers caper, there’s plenty to keep the kids occupied. Playmobil is particularly great if you’re buying for multiple kids – like say, your nieces and nephews, grandkids, or even your own tots. Every kid gets their own set to unwrap each day – but if they’re feeling generous (and imaginative) they can cross their worlds with one another. Winner!
Craft Beer Advent Calendar – $130 @ Select Liquor Stores in BC, AB, SK, MB, the Maritimes and the Territories
What would a roundup of 2014 Canadian advent calendars be if it didn’t include some sort of beer-related product? Enter the Craft Beer Advent Calendar, a unique product brought to you by Craft Beer Imports that sells out like hotcakes in the limited quantities it’s produced annually. In fact, you may not even be able to get it at this point – but let that be a lesson that you need to be on the ball for next year. If you CAN get it, you’re in for a treat. Each day you’ll unwrap a beer that isn’t presently available on the shelves, from breweries all over the globe. In fact, many of the beers inside aren’t in production period – they’re developed just for this beer imbibers dream. Cheers!
Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar – $54.78 @ Amazon.ca
For the traditionalist, I bring you this sweet, MDF calendar that’s plenty study and allows for some customization. Tug open each draw and fill it with a treat for your kids – from an eraser in the shape of a favourite character to a mini candy cane to an action figure – whatever they love, this beautiful, heirloom-worthy calendar can make it happen. I particularly love the retro, vintage feel of this one.
Starbucks Advent Calendar – $29.95
What coffee lover wouldn’t swoon over this awesome little advent calendar gift set? Each tin features a tasty, chocolate covered graham cracker that’s the perfect accompaniment to your daily brew – including the new Chestnut Praline Latte, Starbucks’ first new holiday drink in five years. Also tucked within is a special mini $5 gift card, meaning whoever you buy this for will enjoy a delicious drink on you! Best of all, you can re-use this advent calendar in future months (and years); the tins stick to the magnetic chalkboard, making for a lovely seasonal or otherwise display.
The Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar – $50
Love The Body Shop? Then you will love this advent calendar that is truly one of the best bargains on this list. Loaded with $130 worth of goodies, this luxury set features a new treat for your skin, lips and beauty regime every single day. From delicious-smelling soaps to a sleek eyeliner to ultra-soft body lotions, you’ll actually look forward to waking up in the morning during those dreary winter mornings, if only to pop open the latest window on your calendar. It also includes products from the brand’s latest lines – including their new scrumptious Glazed Apple scent! As a bonus, you can use the advent calendar as a trial run for making your holiday wish list – whatever you love the most in sample size, just ask for a full-size item at Christmas.

I can’t decide between the David’s Tea one, the Starbucks one, and the Body Shop one. I love David’s Tea in general, I really like the tins that come with the Starbucks one, but what I like best about the body shop one is that it’s not food-related!
I’d love to win the Body Shop one because it’s a great way to try their products
I agree that the Body Shop advent calendar would be my pick and a great way to sample some of the products I have not yet tried.
I love the Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar . So adorable and traditional. I am psyched to for the Body Shop advent Calender because I love The Body Shop very much. Yahoo. 🙂

The Craft Beer Advent calendar is the best ever, but not available in Ontario, too bad. My Mom would get a lot of pleasure from the Best of the Body Shop Advent calendar. She is in a retirement home and misses being able to go out. This would be fun.
Follow them on twitter and tweeted
Here is my tweet with the contest link … https://twitter.com/DoreenLamoureux/status/529617336282918912
The Body shop one is the one for me, but the starbucks calendar looks good too!
I love the idea of an advent calendar. We always had the cheap ones with the chocolates inside. Now I am diabetic so it is great to have the choice of products. I like the coffee or tea ones but I really love the body shop. It is a great way to get familiar with various items. If I get any product samples I always try them and make a choice to go and buy it at the store. It saves a lot of time.
I am surprised more places don’t try this to educate the public about their products. Body shop…Yah!
I love the David’s Tea calendar (and ordered one already!) and would love to try the products in the Body Shop one.
seriously thinking about getting the Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar for my son!
Oh my I didn’t notice there was a contest on this one – lol!! I would love the body shop calendar because who wouldn’t love a pampering gift every day leading up to Christmas?!
The DavidsTea one was actually released on Nov 1st and the price was $34.50 — they sold out in a few hours (letting you know so you can update your post!). I was most excited about that one, cute tins of tea for each day in December — so perfect! The Body Shop one is super cute and sold out everywhere, would love to get my hands on one! ❤
Hi Christina – I actually checked in with peeps over at DAVIDsTEA and they confirmed the advent calendar was released at select stores only on November 1. November 7 is still THE DAY where all of their holiday goodies will be released – including online – so if you missed out on getting the calendar you’ve still got a shot. Happy shopping!
Especially love the craft beer one, too bad not available in Ontario, so the David’s tea or starbucks would be fun
I love the Bodyshop advent calendar also the davids tea one …this momma needs some me time
The David’s Tea advent calendar would be great to gift but I truly love the Body Shop one. I use their skin care products, but there’s so much more to them than just that.

I really like the BENEFIT COSMETICS
Advent Calendar and the Body Shop Advent calendar would be great to win because they do not test on animals and their products are great!
Well for the kids, the playmobil advent calendar is very cool. For me, I love the craft beer or the body shop. What great ideas!
Oh my gosh, how do I get my husband to buy me the Benefit calendar 😉
I love the Playmobil calendars too, I often buy one for my kids to share and then supplement with a few additional treats!
I love the benefit cosmetics advent calendar because I love trying new products :). I want to win this because I love the bodyshop

I would love the Body Shop calendar! I have used the White Musk scent from the Body Shop as my exclusive scent for almost 30 years. I love, love, love their products. I would also like it because I go out of my way to find awesome calendars for my husband and son but I never have a fun one.
The David’s Tea advent calendar I love the most although it was hard to pick just one. I’d love to win the Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar to share with my daughter who loves Body Shop products.
My favorite is the Starbucks Advent Calendar simply because it has chocolate!
I would love to win the Body Shop Advent Calendar because their products are awesome. They have so many lovely things that I have yet to try and this Best of Calendar would let me do so.
These are all so great & original! I went online to order one from David’s Tea & they are sold out already. 😦 I’d love this one from the Body Shop as it is my favourite store to shop in. Thanks 🙂
For Christmas, I would love to get the 24 Teas from Davids Tea. I’m a big tea lover and this would be ideal to try 24 different teas.
I would also love to the win the Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar because it let’s me spoil myself each day with luxurious scents and creams.
I love the body shop, and as I am trying to lose weight, this would be a temptation that I can actually fully enjoy!

My girls would love the Lego friends
The Lego Friends Calendar would be perfect for my grandson. What a fun idea!
For me, I’d like the Craft Beer Advent Calendar. I think it’s just such a fun idea, especially since here in BC, Craft Beer is so popular! I don’t know much about beer, so what a great way to learn with my Fiance.
Also, I’d love the Win the Body Shop Advent Calendar, because I never try anything new there! It’s always Satsuma or Vineyard Peach! 🙂 The Advent Calendar is an easy way to expand your beauty horizons! 🙂
So hard to choose just one, they are all great. Would love the craft beer calendar for hubby. For myself, Body Shop or Starbucks.
I actually really love the traditional Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar for my kids (ages 1 & 3), and the David’s Tea & Body shop ones for myself. The tea I would devour daily while the body shop products would last all year.
I love the Starbucks one, especially that the tins can be reused next year for kids, but the Body Shop calendar looks full of great treats too!
Great post!
I like the Davids tea calendar. December would be warmer with a tea for everyday.
I would like to win the body shop calendar because I was unsuccessful at scoring my own. They sold out fast.
I love the The Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar
Okay — today you have left me with a very tough decision. So many wonderful Advent calendars to choose from depending on whom you are shopping for! For myself, I would choose the Kaisercraft Beyond the Page Advent Calendar so I could decorate it, and put goodies in for my granddaughter for years to come.
I would love to win the Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar because I wouldn’t go out and buy myself these wonderful products, but would certainly love to try them all!
I like the Starbuck’s Advent Calendar with its tins that after being enjoyed can be repurposed

I’d choose the Craft Beer Advent Calendar – what a great concept to sample beers so you can identify the ones you might add to your regular purchases.
i LOVE THE Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar – SO VERY PRETTY!
I would love to win the Body Shop advent calendar because it’s been a rough year and it would be great to relax with the wonderful scents of body lotions. To top it off, I do love the David’s tea calendar because this perfectly compliments the Body Shop one which is for pampering.
The Body Shop Advent Calendar it’s so cute, it will be a nice gift to give to my 13 year old daughter. She will be very excited trying out every day a new product. Maybe she will share something with me 🙂
I was most excited for the DavidsTea calendar until I found out about Craft. Now I can’t decide!
The Starbucks advent calendar looks amazing!

I’d love to win the Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar, because a little bit of pampering during the cold winter months is just what a girl needs!
Bonus Entry: https://twitter.com/MissHappeePants/status/529862118641000448
Oh I love advent calendars! My top pick would be the Best of the Body Shop Advent calendar although it was a really hard choice between that and the Benefit calendar. I couldn’t resist the awesome scents of The Body Shop though!
I came to know about Advent Calendars while strolling down Queen Street East near The Body Shop last year. I thought it was a gift for children until reading this post. I used to come to The Tea Leaf and Pippins at The Beach for loose leaf tea since they were the only merchants that I knew selling it a few years ago. That’s why 24 Days of Tea Calendar @ DAVIDsTEAt is what I love the most as a tea lover. It will be exciting to receive the Best of The Body Shop Advent Calendar as I’ve never had an Advent Calendar before. At the start of the year, I put together The Body Shop gift cubes and tea bags as gifts for my family and friends using paper bags and other packaging material I’ve saved from products in my shopping. This calendar will enable me to continue my tradition as I enjoy giving and sharing who I am with those I love. Thank you, very much for this chance and a Happy Christmas to you and your family!
Starbucks advent calendar is my favorite and I’d love to win because I love body shop products and am in need of an advent calendar since I’ve not bought one yet
I love the starbucks advent calendar but the body shop one would be heavenly too!
The Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar is so cool! I’d love the Body Shop one though because….its the Body Shop! Delicious scents, every day?!! Yes please!

I like the fairy advent calender from playmobil. Would love to win this for my daughter. such a cool spin on the original advent calendars!
Tweeted the giveaway! https://twitter.com/acid666/status/529960523115544578
They are all great but if I have to choose it would be the craft beer one since my husband would get a huge kick out of that since he loves craft beer (too bad it is not in Ontario!). I would love to win the Body Shop one since it would actually be something for me (I am the only female in the house) and The Body Shop has amazing stuff.
I am a huge tea junkie (I drink between 4-10 cups a day of it) so for me the Davids Tea would be bliss. I never drink David’s Tea because it is seriously high end, but have had it at a friends house and it is SO good! I would love that!
The body should would make my month, I love their products, again not something I personally buy for myself but sure enjoy it when I get it as a gift -I love being pampered, who doesn’t and December is one hectic month! It would be lovely, what more can I say 🙂
The one I would most like to win is the DAVIDsTEA calendar: new yummy tea everyday? Yes please!
I would love to win the Body Shop one because my hands are already cracking and I’m sure they have something lovely in there to fix that. Also they have really nice scents.
I love the Body Shop advent calendar but also love the Starbucks one as could get my daily chocolate fix with that one.
I honestly love them all!! Advent calenders are one of my favourite christmas traditions, but also one we are very inconsistent with. For myself I’d love the david’s tea calender, but I also think the vintage boxes are awesome because you can personalize and customize for each person. I’ve seen people make advent calenders with daily christmas themed crafts/activities behind each dorr for December for their kids and I think those would be a ton of fun too. I’d love to try the body shop calender so that I can try out more of their products. I love the ones I have tried, but there isn’t a store near by so I only pick things up around christmas and I miss out on a lot of what they have to offer year round.
Here’s my tweet!! https://twitter.com/aly3360/status/530003113571524608

But for me, I would love the Body shop one….which girly girl wouldnt love the chance at a beauty-filled calender from The Body Shop.
I would LOVE to win the The Best of the Body Shop Advent Calendar for myself just because I like Body Shop products but I never spend money on myself. I am always eyeing the Lego Advent Calendars for my two daughters because they love Lego, especially the Friends one.
After checking out all of the cool advent calendars, I would choose the Body Shop advent calendar for my choice because it is loaded with much desired lotions and potions! LOVE BODY SHOP one and all! 🙂 I could share (if I have to ) with my niece and sister in law, cause I really love them too…

It’s so hard to decide, but I like the Craft Beer advent calendar the best. Too bad it’s not available in Ontario. The reason I like this one best is that I love craft beers.
I like the Benefit Advent Calendar at Sephora!

Forgot to say I would love the Body Shop advent calendar because it would be something just for me! 🙂
I really like the craft beer calendar. Never heard of it before. I also love the body shop and already ordered one for my daughter but would great to win one for myself too.
There are some great selections but if I was going shopping, I would head for the Body Shop Calendar as it appears the price (great) and the value (even better) are an amazing deal. I do like the Kaiserkraft and the Sephora (Benefit) calendars as well, but I would still go with the Body Shop.
I like the idea of the Body Shop Calendar. I really liked this idea and I think I just maybe going shopping to get a few of these. Now that the kids are teens they just don’t find the $2 calendars fun anymore. I know that the DD would love the tea and body shop one and the DS would like the star wars lego one. My brother would love the starbucks one and best of all I would get the empty calendar to re-use next year. I also love the Kaisercraft Beyond The Page Advent Calendar, I could use this and mix it up with lots of litte things. I guess I need to go shopping. Thanks for the great ideas.
I’d be thrilled with either the DavidsTea Advent Calendar or The Body Shop Advent Calendar. My boys and I would love the tea, on the flip side, the Body Shop would be just for me.
Delightful Calendars! Love them all, but really love the DavidsTea Calendar, that would be good for my sons & I, or the Body Shop Calendar which would be just for me time.
They are all great but I love the Starbucks advent calendar! Who wouldn’t love all the sweet smelling treats fromThe Body Shop, great for travel or as mini stocking stuffers.
Hi Everyone.For me it would have to be the Body shop Advent Calendar.I work with a bunch of great Ladies.Bringing it into work would be Awesome.Everyday I could treat someone during the December month and get everyone into the Christmas Spirit.Thank you for this great Giveaway.
The Benefit Advent Calendar looks amazing! Some of my fav products!
24 days of tea from davids tea! My mom would love this advent calendar – I just got her hooked on davids tea 🙂
Starbucks please!
Oh, they’re all so nice it’s hard to choose just one, but I do love the DAVIDsTEA calendar. Second fave: The Body Shop — I use several of their products (the tea tree line is very effective) and I like that they’ve always been against animal testing.

I like the Body Shop Advent Calender best! I love all the little sample sizes, and the chance to try so many things out before I buy the full size. I’d like to win the Best of the Body Shop Advent Calender because it has been a couple of crazy, stress-filled years, including not having any money for little extras like this…it would be a huge, huge, huge pick-me-up to be able to look forward to a wonderful treat like this, every day. Small things like that really help a person when they’re not feeling their best, and have a lot of stress going on.
