Holiday shopping for travelers is not an easy task. Sure, they’ll be happy with an all-expenses-paid trip to their top bucket list destination, but besides that, let’s be honest — you’re hardly going to surprise them with a new luggage set or travel gadget. So, if they have a wish, give them 24 more wishes. Here is the round-up of luxury advent calendars for those in your life who already have everything.
Charlotte’s Beauty Treasure Chest of Love
First on our list is Charlotte’s Beauty Treasure Chest of Love. This year’s Charlotte Tilbury’s advent calendar comes with drawers full of the brand’s top-rated makeup and skincare products, including the popular Pillow Talk Lipstick. The combo of full-size and travel-size lipsticks, serums, lip oils and liners comes in a huge heart-shaped box, valued at $300 but selling for about $220. You can find it on Charlotte Tilbury’s website, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom.
Flaviar’s Whiskey Advent Calendar 2024
Give them the gift of skipping the whiskey tap room for a cozy tasting at home: the $250 Whiskey Advent Calendar includes a mix of Flaviar’s newly-released whiskey samples, a tasting booklet for details on each sample and two collectible Glencairn tasting glasses. Better yet, the tastings don’t have to end after December – the calendar comes with a one-year Flaviar Black Membership, which will give them access to limited edition bottles and special pricing. You can order the calendar directly from Flaviar’s website.
Giorgio Armani Advent Calendar
Armani Beauty’s reputation precedes it, since its launch in the early oughts, in collaboration with L’Oréal. This calendar comes with a mix of 8 full-size and 15 miniature makeup, skincare items, and perfumes from Armani Beauty’s bestselling lineup. Plus, they’ll get a surprise Armani accessory with the set. For $325, you can find this calendar on Amani Beauty’s website.
Twelve Days of Leatherology Advent Calendar
No seasoned traveler would object to touches of leather to their vacation wardrobe. Enter Leatherology’s 12-day Advent calendar. It comes full of genuine Italian leather accessories in black croc and light gold hardware, including a luggage tag and an Apple Airpods case. Each one is small enough to pack without taking up valuable luggage space, and can be monogrammed for added personalization. The set goes for $450 on Leatherology’s website.
The La Mer Wonder Express Advent Calendar
Not many brands do upscale skincare like La Mer – and the holidays are the perfect time to test out different cleansers, serums, creams and balms, or stock up on favorites. This calendar is the way to do both. Plus, your gift-receiver will get the bestselling moisturizing cream Crème de la Mer, which increases the value despite its $600 price tag. You can find this one directly on La Mer’s website or stop at the La Mer counter at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, and Nordstrom.
Le Château Gingerbread Haut-Chocolat Calendar of Advent
If chocolate is your loved one’s guilty pleasure, the Le Château Gingerbread Haut-Chocolat Calendar of Advent from Voges Haut-Chocolat will satisfy those cravings. The limited-edition box is its own piece of art, inspired by the Notre Dame cathedral in vibrant colors, designed to look like an ornate gingerbread house. A switch on the side of the box illuminates the faux stained-glass windows – and the art extends to the gourmet chocolates and cookies packed inside. They’ll also get more unique gifts, like a soy candle, bringing the value beyond its $600 price point. While there are enough chocolates to go around (26 to be exact) no one said they had to share. You can find the calendar on Voges Haut-Chocolat’s website.
The Caviar Co. Pearls of a Dozen Gift Set
Party hosts who want to organize a gourmet Christmas feast (hopefully far less chaotic than a Griswold family dinner) have already added the Pearls of a Dozen Gift Set to the top of their wish-lists. The Caviar Co.’s popular 12 Days of Caviar Advent Calendar sold out lightning fast, but there’s still an equally flavorful and coveted 12-piece gift set that you can opt for instead. The Pearls of a Dozen Gift Set comes with twelve 1-ounce caviar jars, along with three pieces of serveware, and a gold tin key for adding a caviar flight to the menu. Altogether, the retail value is $928, but it’s available to purchase on The Caviar Co. website for $628.
Liberty 12 Days of Jewellery Calendar
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but 12 days of luxe gold is a close second. In the Liberty 12 Days of Jewellery Calendar, each drawer comes with chic gold pieces, from necklaces to earrings that can match with any wardrobe. In total, the jewelry pieces from the iconic London department store are valued at £1,236, or $1,553. However, it’s available to purchase on Liberty’s website for $970.
