Upon unboxing Vahdam’s tea Advent calendar, I was impressed by the stunning simplicity of the countdown. It’s pretty enough to hang in the kitchen! Plus, you can tell it’s a high-quality calendar by the loose-leaf tea offerings alone. Though there’s the extra step of pouring each loose-leaf tea sachet into your infuser, it’s worth it for the quality. Pinkies up! In my testing, I was pleasantly surprised by the range of holiday scents and vessel sizes and types. Though I usually prefer massive candles to serve as a centerpiece on the counter or coffee table, I look for something different in a candle Advent calendar. I don’t necessarily want larger-than-life Christmas candles otherwise it takes well until February to enjoy them all. That’s why I appreciate the variety of 2.5-ounce candles mixed with reed diffusers and a few 5-ounce candles. The smaller size is what makes this a true countdown: enjoy your scent of the day and move on to the next. My partner and I seriously look forward to discovering a new surprise coffee each morning, and the holiday sachets are ideal for sharing between two drinkers. Because whole-bean coffee is always fresher, we grind our beans and brew them in our French press. I love learning about the independent roasters behind each blend. Every step, from learning about the beans on each sachet, to brewing and tasting offers a delightful experience.

Half our testers said this calendar was one of their favourites and said they would love to receive it as a gift. As you'd expect there are lots of chocolate gifts inside Hotel Chocolat's The Grand Advent Calendar including a chocolate wreath, chocolate snowmen and champagne truffles. But you also get some genuine surprises, such as chocolate lip balm, cacao gin and some more we'll leave you to discover yourself. The box that houses all the wines is heavy and bulky, so you'll need plenty of space at home to store it too.
If you’re like us, the best Advent calendars include something you can savor every morning—or night.
