This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides here .

As unbelievable as it may sound, we're just a few (as in, less than three) months away from 2027. And while you may not be quite ready to put up your Christmas tree yet, that hasn’t stopped brands from sneakily unveiling holiday drops earlier than ever. We’ll cut to the chase: We're talking advent calendars .

As it turns out, advent calendars aren’t just fun (which they are); many of these jam-packed sets can actually be a great value if you divide the contents into stocking stuffers for friends, or if you’re looking to try a variety of products from a specific beauty brand. They are also the kind of self-care gift that sparks so much joy, with a little surprise waiting for you every day for the month of December.

So why wait?…
