Advent Calendars 2021
The tradition of Advent calendars dates to the mid-19th century, when when families would mark every day in December until Christmas Eve with a chalk marking. Originally, the four-week period known as Advent began as a time for converts to Christianity to prepare for baptism.
The first printed Advent calendar originated in Germany in the early 20th century with Gerhard Lang. When Gerhard was a little boy his mother made him a calendar with 24 small sweets attached to cardboard, one for each day leading up to Christmas.
Modern day Advent calendars take the form of many different shapes, sizes and mediums. There are even social media accounts dedicated to the lead up of Christmas.
Whilst there are hundreds of calendars available to buy, I have listed my absolute favourites, and hopefully covered something for everyone. And even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, its also a fun way to spoil yourself or a loved one in the lead up to the silly season, and even try some new products that just might become your staples!
Selfridges have done it again this year with their limited edition box of treats.
For 25 days you will be treated to range of the most sublime best selling beauty products all packaged in the most exquisite box valued at well over $1000.
