24 days of truffles? Say less.
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas (*raises hand*), it's hard not to enjoy a great advent calendar. Beauty advent calendars are the most popular these days (think: sample lipsticks, face masks, and perfumes to open and enjoy across the season), but an increasing number of brands are creating fahncy advent calendars in the fashion, food, and lifestyle spaces as well. Below, we've rounded up the most luxurious advent calendars, featuring everything from candles to jewelry to wine, to treat your loved ones—or yourself!—to this year. A fun hack: If you're looking to check off multiple people on your holiday gift list, buy one advent calendar and select a couple gifts from it to send to each of 'em, then keep the rest for yourself.

Inside are 24 mini drawers, each holding a precious porcelain ornament.
