Advent calendars have come a long way from their days as your least favorite holiday gift from Grandma. Gone are the waxy chocolates and nativity scenes–okay, you can still get those if you want–and in their place have sprung up bedazzled drawers filled with night creams and waterproof mascara. Beauty advent calendars are a whole thing now, and am I mad? No, because a ton of these calendars have full-sized products at a fraction of the usual cost. How's that for spreading holiday cheer?
This year, some of my favorite skincare and makeup calendars are the mega sets from sites like Ulta, Sephora, FabFitFun, and IPSY. These all feature multiple brands, so you'll find Too Faced Lip Injection (hello, 2000s) nestled in the same box with Elemis Cleansing Balm.
One of my favorite holiday hacks is getting a beauty advent calendar, then splitting up all the goods to use as stocking stuffers for the women in my life: anti-aging creams for my fancy mom, metallic nail polish for my cool sister-in-law, you get the gist. Then again, if you don't see something for your mom, your wife, or your teenage sister below, we have more ideas.
