25 Advent Calendar Gifts

These advent calendar gifts range from festive skincare kits to tool-packed advent calendars.

Inspired by festive candy calendars many Millennials grew up enjoying as kids, advent calendars have transformed as a hyper-popular marketing strategy for brands ranging from the fashion and beauty to the food and beverages spaces.

Notable advent calendar gifts for this holiday season include the Doritos Advent Calendar, "a savory alternative to chocolate-filled holiday countdowns" that features a "full-sized single pack of Doritos behind every door and 25 Doritos surprises to carry chip lovers to Christmas 2020." Dog food brand CESAR's 12 Days of Twinning holiday calendar is another standout, featuring 12 sets of matching pet and pet owner accessories inside.

High end beauty advent calendars like those offered by Sephora, Feelunique, ESPA and Charlotte Tilbury round off this list, speaking to makeup and skincare buffs' appreciation for luxe product samples they can trial before committing to a full size.
