Affordable beauty advent calendars are becoming increasingly more difficult to come by with each passing year, and the ones that do come in under £50 tend to be best suited to younger beauty fans. However, the Ted Baker Beauty & Bathing Advent Calendar is a gorgeous budget-friendly option that’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a pamper, no matter their age.
Originally priced at £46, the calendar is currently reduced to £36.80, and gives beauty fans a taste of what Ted Baker has to offer in their indulgent range. From luxury-scented body sprays to nourishing balms, the calendar features 24 beautifully curated treats including a mix of full sized and travel-friendly products, with each one designed to upgrade your daily beauty routine.
The calendar comes packaged in a reusable keepsake tin rather than the typical cardboard box, which feels more premium and incredibly giftable. The versatile design also means it’s ideal for storing bath products or beauty essentials long after the holidays are over.
The scents in this calendar are absolutely unreal, particularly the Rose & Orchid fragrance, which is reminiscent of brands like Jo Malone. The Peony & Camellia and Jasmine & Lime Blossom products also complement each other well, and feel as elegant as they are refreshing. The fragrances come in the form of body sprays, which feel like elevated little stocking fillers on their own, as well as pamper essentials like whipped body oil crèmes that offer rich hydration, relaxing bath foams, perfect for unwinding during the holiday season.
If you’re thinking of using the calendar as a way to save money on presents, another option is to group the products by scent or theme, which allows you to repurpose them as thoughtful, coordinated gifts.
Practicality hasn’t been overlooked, either, with a number of useful beauty tools like a mini glass nail file, tweezers, and a nail brush. Even these functional items feel elevated and are perfect additions to a self-care kit. The high quality and attention to detail makes the products look and feel far more expensive than their actual price, which makes the under £40 price tag worth every penny.
