I’ve been genuinely excited about Advent calendars this year, and the moment The White Company Advent Calendar arrived on my doorstep, I understood why it’s everywhere this season. People are genuinely obsessed. The £195 price tag isn’t small change, but seeing it in person, you immediately see why it’s the calendar everyone is trying to get their hands on. Each door opens to something that feels like a mini celebration, and the total value of £320 makes it feel like a smart indulgence to add to my Christmas decor ideas this year.

I started noticing it everywhere: on Instagram feeds, in conversations with friends, and on my daily walk past Sloane Square, where it glimmers invitingly in The White Company shop window. It’s not a gimmick or a novelty; it’s a carefully curated selection of products that feel thoughtful and genuinely useful. The candles are beautifully scented, the hand creams and body oils are indulgent yet practical, and the fragrances are unmistakably classic The White Company. There’s no over-the-top packaging or unnecessary frills, just quality that naturally makes people want to talk about it.

By mid-December, you’ll understand the fuss. Each morning brings a little thrill, a little luxury, and a reminder that some things – well-made, considered, and simple – are worth the investment. Here’s how to get your hands on it and what to expect.

One of the perks of this job is that I’ve tested more Christmas advent calendars than most people could imagine, even the ones that cost thousands. From fragranced candles to home treats, I’ve opened them all, and I can say with confidence that The White Company Advent Calendar stands out. It’s not trying too hard; it’s simple, well-curated, and genuinely useful. Each day offers something you’ll actually enjoy, rather than tiny gimmicky items that will sit on a shelf. For the price, it feels like one of the few calendars that delivers real value without feeling like a novelty.

Compared to the rest on the market, it’s the consistency and thoughtfulness that impresses. You’re getting full-sized candles, classic body products, and beloved fragrances that you’ll return to time and again. Many calendars are beautiful to look at, but don’t really offer products you’d use, or they are full of repeats and tiny sachets. This one strikes a rare balance: indulgent yet practical, luxurious yet straightforward. If you’re considering investing in an advent calendar this year, this is the one I’d personally reach for. It’s the calendar that makes December feel a little more special, every single day.

Other Luxury Advent Calendars That Truly Impressed Me


After testing all of these, I’ve realized that the best advent calendars do more than count down the days; they set the scene for everything else that follows. They make your home smell, feel, and look like Christmas before the tree is even up. And if you’re inspired to go a little further, you’ll find plenty of Christmas gift ideas to make your home feel just as special.
