Darling, it's never too early to plot your holiday domination and trust me, securing the perfect advent calendar is paramount. Forget those chocolate-filled boxes, we're talking serious luxury here. Think Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cartier... the kind of calendar that even makes Miranda Priestly raise a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
Darling, it's never too early to plot your holiday domination and trust me, securing the perfect advent calendar is paramount. Forget those chocolate-filled boxes, we're talking serious luxury here. Think Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cartier... the kind of calendar that even makes Miranda Priestly raise a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
Now, listen up, because these babies sell out faster than you can say "cerulean," so consider this your insider cheat sheet to conquer the 2025 advent calendar game.
1. Dior
1. Dior
Oh, Dior. Always a classic, never boring. This year, we're expecting major "ooh la la" with a design that screams Parisian chic. Think reimagined toile de Jouy, maybe with a touch of celestial sparkle because, well, it's Dior. Inside? Mini J'adore, Dior Prestige Creme, Rouge Dior... basically, everything you need to look absolutely fabulous through the holidays and beyond.
- Why it's a must-have: Because darling, it's Dior. Need I say more? Plus, the reusable box is perfect for storing your, shall we say, less glamorous essentials.
- What’s Included: The 24 gifts include miniature fragrances, makeup, and skincare, as well as a full-sized candle.
2. Maison Francis Kurkdjian
2. Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Darling, let's talk about extending the holiday magic, shall we? Because who says the fun has to stop on the 25th? Maison Francis Kurkdjian, the fragrance house that practically invented "smelling expensive," has a little something to keep the party going.
Forget your basic advent calendars, darling. This is a treasure chest of olfactory delights, designed to indulge your senses from Christmas to New Year's Eve. Think of it as a post-holiday detox for your soul (and your nose).
- Why it's a must-have: Because, extending the holiday spirit is never a bad idea. Plus, who wouldn't want to start the new year smelling like a million bucks?
- What’s Included: We're talking Baccarat Rouge 540 (naturally), the fragrance that single-handedly launched a thousand imitations. But that's not all. There's also scented body oil, luxurious candles (including the limited-edition Mon Beau Sapin), and even a miniature Aqua Universalis to freshen up your handbag.
3. Swarovski
3. Swarovski
Swarovski, darling. Because who doesn't love a little sparkle? This year's calendar is going to be a winter wonderland of crystal delights. Think of ornaments, figurines, maybe even a piece of jewelry or two. It's the perfect way to add some festive cheer to your home (and your life).

YSL, darling. Effortless chic with a touch of rebellion. This year's calendar is going to be all about Parisian cool. Think sleek black packaging, maybe with a pop of gold or red. Inside, you'll find mini Black Opium and Libre fragrances, Touche Éclat concealer, Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks... everything you need to channel your inner rockstar.

For the fragrance obsessed (and who isn't?), Jo Malone is a must. This year, expect a whimsical design, maybe a winter wonderland theme with adorable little drawers filled with mini candles, colognes, and body creams. Think Pomegranate Noir, English Pear & Freesia, and all those other scents that make you smell like a million bucks.

Charlotte Tilbury, the queen of glow. This year's calendar is going to be all about Hollywood glamour with a festive twist.

7. La Mer

Darling, let's talk about achieving that coveted "lit-from-within" glow, the kind that makes people stop and stare (with envy, naturally). And no, I'm not talking about another highlighter. I'm talking about La Mer. This emerald-green beauty is practically a work of art, filled with 12 days of pure indulgence. Think of it as a first-class ticket to a luxurious spa experience, all from the comfort of your own boudoir.
Inside, you'll find La Mer's most iconic products, from the legendary Crème de la Mer (a favorite of Kendall Jenner!) to the ultra-hydrating Treatment Lotion and the rejuvenating Eye Concentrate. And let's not forget the lip polish, because even your pout deserves a taste of luxury.
