All killer no filler, we love this edit of beauty heroes – especially the full size ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Marine Cream which is worth £64 alone.

Science-backed skincare doesn’t come much more luxurious than this. From the iconic Rich Cream to the dark circle-banishing eye patches – we love every Augustinus Bader formula. And will love opening a new one for each of the 12 days of Christmas.

Our ultimate go-to brand for gifting – we’ll be tickled to open a new present each day, just for us. Expect calming home scents, indulgent bath products and the perfect bauble to complete festive decorating.

Jewellery advent calendars are the ultimate treat and this one is extra special because it provides an opportunity to flex your crafting skills too. You’ll open two hand-carved gemstone beads each day plus one 18-karat gold bead on day 24 to create a personalised gift for yourself on the 25th. The gift that keeps on giving.

There’s something extra special about opening full size products, which is exactly what you’ll get with Fortnum's beauty advent calendar. Stock up on over £1080 worth of skincare and wellness gifts from brands like Sol de Janeiro, Aromatherapy Associates as well as a festive Fortnum’s scented candle.

There’s so much to love about this one. Worth over £1,000, it contains products and brands you won’t find in other calendars from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Le Labo, Fenty Beauty and Trinny London. One in every 100 calendars will also include a £250 Harvey Nichols gift card. So you can continue the self-gifting long after Christmas.
