Christmas approaches again as 2023 ends, and we start looking for gifts for loved ones. A popular choice for Christmas of late is the candle advent calendar. As previously discussed in my article Perfume Advent Calendar, we already know just how popular these calendars are.

It has become a tradition to purchase one to count the days before Christmas, especially for children. There was always something magical about opening a window each morning to see which chocolate was inside. The excitement of getting nearer to the number 24 window was always more significant than the rest, and having more giant chocolate inside to enjoy.

The days seem to have passed for the chocolate variety. However, they are still widely available for everyone and mainly cater to young children, with different cartoon designs to encourage purchase.

Nowadays, the market has made room for a unique and elegant choice: gifts hidden behind each window instead of traditional chocolate.

As much as we all love a chocolate treat from the 1st to the 24th of December, as we get older, we are keen on different things, and there are so many ideas that companies put behind their Advent windows—very inspirational.

Behind each window are gifts that will suit anyone, regardless of age or gender, and we are spoilt for choice.

Beauty

It is ideal for the females in the family who love a selection of make-up items to add to their collection. Women and teenagers can never have too much make-up.

Perfume

These have been very popular over the past few years, and most will have a small sample behind each window and a whole bottle of perfume behind window number 24.

FM World has customised gift boxes that can be created especially with your loved one in mind. The Gift Box contains a Pure Royal 50 ml of your choice, a Pure Royal Antiperspirant Stick of your choice, and a Pure Royal Solid Perfume Stick of your choice—a small Gift Box.

Skincare

Most of us get a skincare product as a Christmas gift, so having a mini selection in your calendar is a great idea. It’s also ideal to take away for travelling.

Baby items

Perfect for any new mums with newborns around Christmas time, these calendars contain essential items for babies. They will be essential for mum and baby and will be put to good use.

Lego

If you have a child or children who love Lego as much as my children did when they were younger, this one is a great option. Children learn so much through Lego play, including motor skills and being creative with their building.

Fidget toys

Many children of all ages today use fidget toys as part of their everyday lives. These toys are especially suited and created for those on the spectrum, so a calendar with an extensive selection behind each window will light up their faces. These gadgets are colourful, calming, and keep the user focused.

Grooming

Grooming products are another perfect gift for men, as we know how complex buying can be. No more walking endlessly around the stores or searching online for a gift that could be a hit or miss to whether the men will like what’s been bought for them.

Wine

Not many will refuse an advent calendar with small bottles of wine behind it. Although I am not a drinker, I know a few family members who would love this style as a gift.

Biscuits

Biscuits are always a popular choice at Christmas, and many families will buy the traditional tin, so if you have any biscuit lovers that would appreciate this as a gift, then look into buying one.

Jam

I love jam, and many other adults and children love jars of jam. Behind each window, a pot of different-flavoured jam sounds like a great treat.

Cheese

Another popular tradition at Christmas is purchasing an assortment of cheeses in the supermarkets before the big day. The great thing about many cheeses is that they have a reasonable shelf life.

As you would expect, these advent calendars are more expensive than the chocolate variety, but seeing what we get when each advent window is opened is worth the money.

Candle advent calendar

Many companies, including Yankee Candles, have created a Christmas calendar for this year. Yankee candles are already popular because of their quality, burn time, and scent.

We all love a festive fragrance that makes the home warm and cosy. Cinnamon, spices, nutmeg and orange all have a winter feel and set the atmosphere for Christmas time.

One thing is sure: These have to be purchased in good time as they sell out fast, and it’s a little surprising how popular they are.
