For a few years now, the success of advent calendars has continued to increase exponentially, both in supply and performance. There are many arguments in their favor: there are them for all tastes and budgets, they are a great gift, they ensure a daily surprise until Christmas, they are shareable, ideal for discovering the best bets of a brand, their mini sizes are the best companions of travel and its real value, if all the products it includes are counted separately, is much higher than its price. They can be chosen for aesthetics – there are collector’s editions that are almost a shame to open – or for objectives (skin care, makeup, perfumes…) but, one way or another, it is difficult to go wrong with them.
There are those who invent a new use and present it as a game at the festive after-dinner meal so that each diner takes away their detail with a little suspense and a lot of joy. And it works with all ages! These are some of the favorites.

The first beauty Advent calendar from The Body Shop was born in Denmark just over 15 years ago. Candy wrapped in colorful paper was a popular way for children to start the countdown to Christmas Eve. Soon the initiative moved to the brand’s products, which this year presents 3 calendars. We chose the medium one, Big Advent of Change, with its comforting smells and ingredients of natural origin. The chamomile makeup remover balm is a delight.
