You know when you’re nearing the end of your Christmas shopping and you find yourself saying “I just need to get so-and-so a little bit of something to go with their gift”, or “I need a little stocking filler style present to go with my Secret Santa”. Well, I’ve found an incredibly affordable solution.
The A Little Something Advent Calendar, from Boots, is a fantastic pick for anyone looking to stock up on stocking fillers or treat themselves to a daily beauty surprise this festive season. Featuring 24 days of body and beauty treats, the calendar is priced at £24 (down from £30), making it one of the most affordable advent calendars available this year, and a great option for those who want to enjoy some holiday indulgence without breaking the bank.
Each box contains a variety of pampering products, from fragrant body mists and indulgent hand creams to mini makeup treats like bronzer and highlighter. There are some lovely fragrances in this collection, from the Violet & Vanilla Body Butter, which leaves your skin feeling deeply nourished and smelling divine, to the Gardenia & Neroli hand cream – a handbag essential for avoiding dry skin in winter.
Another standout is the Jasmine & Rose Hydrating Face Mask, perfect for a relaxing self-care evening that hydrates and revives your complexion. The Cherry & Musk Lip Scrub and Balm also deserve a mention, offering a moisturising boost with a delicious scent that’s perfect for keeping lips soft and supple during the festive season.
In terms of products, the fragrance mists are the highlight for me, with a 75ml Violet & Vanilla Fragrance Mist and 200ml Cherry & Musk Fragrance Mist featured. While they’re not overly long-lasting, nor too strongly scented, they’re ideal for gym bags or to just give yourself a quick spritz on-the-go.
For me, the mini makeup brushes and singular eyeshadows, bronzers and highlighters aren’t of a quality I’d typically use, however, they’re ideal for tweens to include in their gifts. The nail file, however, is incredibly handy for keeping my manicure in check and avoiding any snagged nails. You’ll never catch me without one.
