Madame’s Top 5 Advent Calendars for grown-ups

by Aude
 
I am not a child anymore and yet every year is the same, the day after Halloween I am embracing the Christmas spirit 100% and it starts with me looking for the must-have Advent Calendar of the year. Obviously, I usually end-up buying more than one because I mean there are so many: chocolate, beauty products, candles …
 
Here is my top 5 for this year:

•  Lookfantastic 

Calling all beautystas in town, Beauty in Wonderland Advent Calendar by Lookfantastic is my calendar goal this year. 25 beauty products hidden in a beauty and enchanted decorated case … so beautiful!
 
HKD 866 (worth HKD 5,000) – available on Lookfantastic

• La Maison du Chocolat

Because why go for cheap chocolate when you can have La Maison du Chocolat ? Moreover when the calendar imagined by graphic artists Alex&Marine is so beautiful!
 
HKD 690 – available online and in stores

• Pierre Hermé

I am such a gourmet, and find it so difficult to choose which treat is my fav. I mean I deeply love chocolate but I also cannot resist madeleine or mendicant or Ispahan nougat … Pierre Hermé ’s Advent Calendar is treasure trove of gourmet pleasures.
 
HKD 880 - Available in stores

• kikki.K

Am I the only one to get over excited with cute stationery?
kikki.K ’s Advent Calendar features mini Swedish paper houses that are each filled with the cutest eraser and a gratitude prompt. Because after all Christmas is all about gratitude and being children again.
 
HKD 220 – available online

•  diptyque 

One of my fav calendar every year with a unique selection of miniature beauty products and mini candles in 35g format. Expensive but so worth it!
