Product Information

Aesthetics: They rate each advent calendar on how visually appealing it would look displayed in your home and how easy it is to get at the gifts without running the look of the advent calendar. Our testers were very impressed with the offering of products and brands in this year’s M&S beauty advent calendar. Half our panel said they’d happily gift it to a loved one. That's why we've voted it our best beauty advent calendar of 2023 of those we tested.

Variety of gifts: They look at the range of gifts included. The best advent calendars have different products every day and are exciting in the run-up to Christmas. The worst are boring with lots of repeated gifts. As well as the stylish little wax-covered bottles inside this advent calendar, our testers were impressed with the spectacular variety of gins behind each of the 24 doors. Half our testers voted it as one of their favourite advent calendars to gift to a loved one. The box that houses all the wines is heavy and bulky, so you'll need plenty of space at home to store it too. Quality of products: Our testers taste chocolate, dab make-up, sip wine and build toys to rate the quality of what's inside each advent calendar in its entirety.While our testers enjoyed sampling the selection of New World wines from Chile, Moldova and California and more, they weren't wowed by the quality. We choose popular beauty, chocolate, children's and food and drink advent calendars available at UK retailers. We ask our testers to open all the doors of each calendar and score them on the following: Half our testers said this calendar was one of their favourites and said they would love to receive it as a gift.

Tape the loo rolls into the box with the tube facing outwards. Add one 'gift' per tube. Make 24 'covers' from cardboard circles you number up and tape these over the tube ends. Don't have that many loo rolls hanging around? Fill 24 envelopes with 'gifts' and peg them to a piece of string you hang up. It's a fun novelty to enjoy in the run-up to Christmas, but if you fancy yourself somewhat of a wine buff you'll probably be left a bit disappointed. Each product is unique and you get a wide range of haircare, skincare, nailcare and make-up over 25 days.

Get super organised for 2023 with the perfect diary and calendar to plot out your busy schedule and count down the days to those exciting events. As you'd expect there are lots of chocolate gifts inside Hotel Chocolat's The Grand Advent Calendar including a chocolate wreath, chocolate snowmen and champagne truffles. But you also get some genuine surprises, such as chocolate lip balm, cacao gin and some more we'll leave you to discover yourself.
