The countdown to Christmas has always been one of my favourite rituals of the festive season, thanks in no small part to the magic of advent calendars. Once simple chocolate-filled boxes, these December staples have since evolved into beautifully crafted keepsakes, concealing everything from artisan sweets to luxurious skincare and home fragrances. And while this evolution has made each December morning infinitely more exciting, it’s also introduced one delightful dilemma: how to choose just one.
