There was a time when advent calendars contained nothing more than a festive image and a small piece of chocolate if you were fortunate, but by 2025, it feels like you might need to take out a mortgage to afford one.

Many now come with price tags in the hundreds of pounds, and let's be honest, they don't always justify the expense.

Fortunately, there's a beauty calendar making waves on Amazon; with thousands of enthusiastic reviews, it's praised for its value and doesn't require a hefty budget.

Introducing the W7 Beauty Blast Calendar 2025, featuring a mix of full-size and travel-size products, all for a budget-friendly £19.95.

Just imagine how many chocolate oranges you could purchase with those savings!

What have customers said?

Reviewers have praised the value for money, noting it as a great gift for tweens, teens, or those just starting with make-up.

"What a bargain! I bought this for my 9-year-old daughter and was really impressed with the products for the price of the calendar. Even I have used some of the make-up. Would definitely buy again!" shared one.

"The items were full size, offered a brilliant selection of colours, and the quality was excellent. I’m planning to buy again for Christmas this year," added another.
