It’s the end of November so that means that it’s almost time for Advent Calendar Season. If you want to know what exactly advent calendars are and if you should get one of the The Body Shop Advent Calendars then check out the video below or just keep scrolling!
What Is An Advent Calendar?
Before we discuss the The Body Shop Advent Calendars let’s talk about what exactly an Advent Calendar is and why you might want one. Advent Calendars come in one of two types, 12 Days or 24/25 Days and are designed to provide small gifts to the opener leading up to the Christmas Holiday. The 12-Day Advent Calendar is meant to be opened the 12-days leading up to Christmas while the 24/25-Day Advent Calendar is meant to start the 1st of December and lead up Christmas. The difference between the 24 and 25 Day Calendar is that some Advent Calendars are designed to be opened up to Christmas Eve with you getting other gifts on Christmas while others believe that the Advent Calendar should also include Christmas. As you can imagine, there are multitudes of themes for Advent Calendars including toys, candies, cheese, wines, and of course beauty products.
The Body Shop Advent Calendar
The Body Shop came out with THREE Advent Calendars this year; the 24 Days of the Enchanted, the 25 Days of the Enchanted Deluxe, and the 25 Days of the Enchanted Ultimate. I was gifted the 24 Days of the Enchanted Advent Calendar by the Body Shop to go through with you, however, since you can still purchase this and get it in time for the Advent Season I’m not going to go through what is behind each door. Instead I’m going to show you some of the products in the 24 Days of the Enchanted and provide a list of the products in all three Advent Calendars but I’m not going to show you which doors have what what so that you’ll be surprised if you decide to pick any of these up!

Final Thoughts on The Body Shop Advent Calendars
If you check out the spoiler list of products you’ll see that there is some overlap of products between the different The Body Shop Advent Calendars, however, I don’t think the overlap is strong enough for you to settle on the smallest just because it has some of the same products as the two larger ones. In all honesty, if I had the extra funds I’d purchase the Ultimate Advent Calendar because the products in that one sound amazing and there are several full-size products in there that make it well worth the price tag. I do want to mention one thing about Advent Calendars. I’ve seen people say that they want to get an Advent Calendar but don’t like all of the products in that calendar. My solution for that is to save those up and use those as gifts or stocking stuffers for friends and family members. You get the joy of opening the Advent Calendar during the season, you get to try some new products or stock up on favorites, AND you potentially have gifts to give to friends and family. It’s win-win! In my opinion there’s no reason why shouldn’t pick up at least one of the The Body Shop Advent Calendars!

I received this Advent Calendar too, and think that it is wonderful. The packaging alone makes me happy!
The packaging is perfect in my opinion.
I love the artwork on these advent calendars! That fox is so cute.
The art is one of my favorite parts!
Yes…i think this is the year I buy one for myself! hahaha
Love the beauty of this. I think it would be so much fun to open a new surprise every day.
I love my calendar! You were very nice not to show the products to those who want to be surprised. How did you do that link??
Do you have WordPress? If you do get the plugin WP-ShowHide and then use the code but take out the space after the first bracket and before the last bracket [ showhide type=”Makeup a type for each one you have in a post” more_text=”The text you want them to click to make it visible” less_text=”the text you want them to click to make it hide again” hidden=”yes” ]. Then put your text in that you want hidden and then put the end tag but again take out your spaces after and before the bracket and the / [ / showhide ]. If you need any help with it let me know and I’ll make you some screenshots 🙂
Thank you so much, Cassie! I do have WordPress. I’m not sure I completely follow, but I will download the plugin and see if your instructions make more sense once I see the plugin. You are the best!
I didn’t quite understand this 🙂
But I adore the packaging!
Love the packaging!
I absolutely LOVE The Body Shop and these Advent Calendars are the cutest ever!!
