The Best Advent Calendars for Children, Adults, and Even Dogs

Remember when you would look forward to the days of December because it meant you could pop into your advent calendar for a piece of chocolate? Or maybe you were the type to secretly finish the entire calendar before moving on to those of your siblings. Either way, every day felt like Christmas morning when there was a calendar filled with treats.

Who says this tradition has to come to an end just because we’re grown up? Forget stale milk chocolate—advent calendars now come with all kinds of contents.

Think: Diptyque’s luxurious beauty advent calendar, each drawer filled with a new scent to try (you’re almost guaranteed to find your next signature scent by Day 15). There’s also eight nights of Sugarfina for those celebrating Hanukkah. An advent calendar filled with luxurious surprises from Tiffany Co is the ultimate holiday gift for someone who has everything and, if all others fail, try Arcadia Home’s embroidered pouches that you can fill with homemade treats and other DIY surprises. Below, shop some of the chicest advent calendars for children, adults and even dogs; they are part of the family, after all.
