10 Advent Calendars for Adults – Holiday Gift Guide 2019

October 14, 2019 · In: Gift Guides, Lifestyle

*Hey there! See my 2021 Adult Advent Calendar post here!*

*SEE MY ADVENT CALENDAR POST FOR 2020 HERE*

Hi y’all! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have a super fun post – I’m going to be sharing with you 10 advent calendars for adults that you can snag this holiday season. If you’re still doing the basic chocolate advent calendar, you need to step up your game! Treat yourself or someone else this holiday season with one of these special advent calendars.

Beauty Advent Calendars

L’Occitane makes an advent calendar every year! While I’ve personally never used it, I know people who have and loved it. It is definitely some quality stuff. The one shown above is their $64 option ($105 value), but they also have a larger one for $99 ($198 value).

 

If you love Cath Kidston, this one is for you! This Cath Kidston advent calendar has 24 days of full-sized pampering treats. It runs for $64.

Advent Calendars For Him

I found this men’s grooming advent calendar on Amazon. Not exactly sure how nice the actual products are, but it’s definitely a cool idea! Best part is that it’s under $35.

This next one I would personally love, but for some reason I personally know a lot of guys who are into hot sauce lol. I found this one at World Market and it’s only $24.99. Keep in mind that this is a 12-day option.

My boyfriend, Grant, is a huge video game nerd! This electronic games advent calendar is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. He’d totally freak over this! It gives you the supplies to make a circuit board and at the end you have a video games of sorts. This would also be a great gift for big kids who are into science/technology projects. It’s just under $50 and seems to be sold out at the moment, but the site does claim they’ll be back in stock and you can sign up to be notified when they’re back.

Edible Advent Calendars (That Aren’t Candy)

Alcohol advent calendars have been all the rage the past few years! In the past I’ve seen them sold at Aldi and Costco, among other places. However, I found a website, The Spirit Co., that has you covered for basically any alcohol you fancy. From wine and gin, to whisky and vodka, or tequila and rum! Needless to say there are A LOT of options. These are definitely pricey, but it’s alcohol so that’s somewhat of a given.

I absolutely love tea around the holidays! This tea advent calendar from World Market is only $14.99 and perfect for the tea lover in your life. It’d make a great early gift paired with a nice mug.

Is anyone obsessed with jams and preserves like I am? This Bonne Maman advent calendar includes 24 different mini jams and honeys! I think this is maybe even one that would be fun for the whole family to share. This one is priced at $34.99.

Quirky Advent Calendars

Another holiday trend has been sock advent calendars! A few years ago I saw them only at Target, but since then the idea has exploded and I’ve seen them many other places. They have these for women, men, and kids each holiday season! More and more themes have been popping up each year. Currently Target’s website has themes such as cats, Harry Potter, Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney Princesses, Lilo & Stitch, Mickey & Friends, Star Wars, Santa, Marvel, and even Game of Thrones. Needless to say there’s something for everyone. These run around $15.

I found this when Googling specialty advent calendars. This is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! Not to mention it is something the entire family can enjoy year after year. It’s a gramophone musical advent calendar! It includes tiny 2” “records” and each one plays about 30 seconds of a Christmas carol. Super cool and it’s about $50.

 

I hope y’all enjoyed this blog post! I figured it would be a fun and different addition to my Holiday Gift Guide. I’ll also be putting out a post like this for kids advent calendars, so be sure to sign up for my email list below to be notified when that is posted!

Thanks for reading!

xoxo

💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫 *as a Dis 💫My Short Review of Epic Universe💫
*as a Disney annual passholder*
(blog post & YouTube video coming soon)

‼️TLDR: Overall it was as chaotic as I expected so I was neither impressed nor disappointed. However I’m unsure how things will suddenly be running smoothly at the opening that’s just 2 weeks away.

✨I’ll start with our highlight which was mainly Super Nintendo World! I was a big Nintendo kid so this was very anticipated for me. While the rides were meh the land is extremely immersive. I do wish we had more time to explore the games you can play with the power up bands! 

🍔As for food we didn’t eat a ton but had lunch at Oak & Star Tavern (BBQ) which was much better than I expected! Not the best theme park food I’ve ever had but definitely better than anything I’ve had at Universal in the past. We also got a frozen melon apple drink in Nintendo that was perfect for a hot day!

🐉Isle of Berk was cool overall but for such a niche IP I wasn’t really interested. The one ride we rode in the land - Hiccup’s Wing Gliders - ended up being our favorite!

🧟‍♂️Dark Universe was a tad underwhelming. I was really looking forward to it but it didn’t really do it for me. At night it was cool but the ride wasn’t as good as I was expecting. I’ve heard quotes that this is the “most technologically advanced ride in the world” and that’s simply not true. However the ride wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be!

🇫🇷Magical Paris was neat despite me not being a Harry Potter fan. It really felt like Paris! However the lack of attractions there is a huge problem. 

🎢Despite it being technical rehearsals to me does not justify the amount of rides that were either completely shut down or broke at some point. Only 2 attractions in the entire park had zero issues all day. We rode 4 attractions since everything else was closed (2 would’ve caused motion sickness). I don’t see how these will magically be working in 2 weeks. The closures caused long wait time and chaos in every aspect. At opening they had no system for filtering people into queues in a reasonable manner. Something Disney figured out decades ago. 

Glad we went and experienced something new! #epicuniverse

Spring has sprung🌸 I snagged this iconic tweed Spring has sprung🌸

I snagged this iconic tweed jacket from @lillypulitzer most recent sale and I’m obsessed - I got the matching dress and can’t wait to wear it as a set💚 

I’m also loving this belt from @jmclaughlin 🤍 As someone who struggles to find belts curated to my style when I saw this I fell in love. I finally snagged it in Newport Beach a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed! It truly elevates every look👏🏼
