The Body Shop: 2019 Advent Calendars

 Dream Big This Christmas Ultimate Advent Calendar

In years past I've featured my 5 top most desirable Advent Calendars, but every year they come out so early; are so expensive; and are sold in such limited quantities, good luck in getting one! So this year, let's forget about advent calendars from Liberty and Diptyque. Not only do they cost hundreds of dollars, you must buy them right now in October if they haven't already sold out! I say buy your favorite scent from Diptyque, or a floral dress or shirt from Liberty, but go elsewhere to love an advent calender for less. (This year the Liberty Advent Calendar increased in price to $475! Diptyque is charging $425 for theirs.)

So where can you turn for a good assortment of quality products at a reasonable price? I highly recommend The Body Shop -- who this year has not one, but 3 different tiers of advent calenders at 3 different price points! The retailer has long used clean ingredients to make their skin and hair products starting from ethically sourced raw components. Here are the products that come with each Body Shop Advent Calendar:

The Body Shop's Advent Calendars contain a lovely combination of skin treatments, moisturizers and makeup tools people will actually use. Lovely clean fragrances -- more botanical than perfume, which are never overpowering. Even if you decide to splurge on the most expensive "ultimate" advent calendar, it's nowhere near the cost of its luxe cousins, and yet you get super comparable quality skin and hair care items! Lots of pampering potential in a box!

On Thursday, I'll do a part 2 - More beauty Advent Calendars to consider, which offer appealing products and value.
