Road Test
The origin of advent calendars can be traced back to the 19th Century, where religious families made a chalk line for every day in December starting on the 1st and extending until Christmas Eve. Fast forward to the modern era, however, and these fun, colourful calendars take on numerous forms. Forget chalk lines - today’s advent calendars are works of art, with little doors opening to reveal all manner of surprises. While some are packed with traditional goodies such as sweet treats, jewellery or liqueurs, others reveal more unusual items like healing crystals and tea, and some are even aimed at fur babies, stuffed with edibles for dogs and cats. Lovers of luxury beauty products haven’t been forgotten where advent calendars are concerned, however, and besides being fun, they also offer travellers the opportunity of collecting a range of travel sized luxury toiletries. L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE’s Classic Beauty Advent Calendar is one. The calendar, which takes the form of a book, tells the enchanting story of how the almond trees of Provence disappeared in the 1950s, and were reintroduced in 2000 thanks to an initiative by L’OCCITANE and its producers. Today, the Provence landscape is full of blossoming almond trees once more. This fabulous 2019 advent calendar contains a lineup of 24 gorgeous mini-sized beauty essentials. They include Immortelle Precious Cream, Shea Ultra Rich Lip Balm, Rose Hand Cream, Shea Ultra Rich Body Cream, Almond Delicious Hand Cream, Revitalising Sugar Bath Cube, Lavender Hand Cream, Almond Shower Oil, Shea Light Comforting Face Cream, Almond Milk Concentrate Body Lotion, Verbena Body Lotion, Cherry Blossom Hand Cream, Repairing Shampoo, Aqua Ultra Thirst-Quenching Face Gel, Shea Butter Hand Cream, Shea Milk Extra Gentle Soap, Shea Intensive Hand Balm, Verbena Leaf Soap, Repairing Conditioner, Verbena Cooling Hand Gel, Verbena Shower Gel, Cherry Blossom Shower Gel, Shea Butter Foot Cream, and Aqua Water Gel Cleanser. If you are looking for a wonderful gift for a beauty lover who travels frequently, L’OCCITANE’s Classic Advent Calendar ticks all the right boxes, as well as looks stunning.

Brilliant Idea
What a great idea, of course as a Chrstmas gift you have to give it before Dec 1 so the recipient can open a different door per day until Christmas Day right?
