It’s the final<br />
countdown…<br />
THE ADVENT CALENDAR IS NO LONGER JUST A TREAT FOR LITTLE ONES; AMY NORBURY<br />
ROUNDS UP SOME OF THE BEST AND MOST LUXURIOUS GROWN-UP ADVENT CALENDARS<br />
AROUND. LET THE COUNTDOWN COMMENCE!<br />
WHAT better way to mark the final run-up and<br />
get yourself well and truly ensconced in the magic<br />
of Christmas than with an indulgent little treat to<br />
start your day? Advent calendars have come a long<br />
way from the mainstream choccie-filled numbers we<br />
enjoyed as children; now us grown-ups can get in on<br />
the fun too with calendars filled with everything from<br />
beauty treats to booze, beautiful candles and stylish<br />
stationery.<br />
Beauty treats are perhaps the biggest calendar trend,<br />
with luxury brands lining up to get in on the action.<br />
A different nail polish for each day? Sorted. Skincare<br />
treats? Done. Some of the major department stores<br />
have even come up with calendars which offer a pickand-mix<br />
selection from across their beauty offerings,<br />
meaning your cosmetics bag will be stocked up for the<br />
festive season and beyond.<br />
Elsewhere, foodies have got plenty to enjoy, from<br />
calendars filled with samples of their favourite booze<br />
- maybe not one to open in the mornings! - to mince<br />
pies, cheese and even pork scratchings!<br />
And if you’re going down the traditional chocolate<br />
route, make it a morsel to savour with luxurious<br />
truffles from a quality chocolatier.<br />
Twenty-four days of treats start here...<br />
