We’re well into December, and the last minute Christmas shopping panic has set in. But in the case of advent calendars, leaving some things to the eleventh-hour is a good thing.
While we’re supposed to purchase our advent calendars before the month of December begins, the festive party season may have swept you away. As such, with what feels like 1,000 Christmas presents to start purchasing for loved ones, an advent calendar is one of the more likely things to have got left behind.
Luckily for the last-minute shoppers, plenty of our favourite brands here at IndyBest have slashed the price of their advent calendars, now that we’ve hit December.
We’ve seen reductions of 20 per cent, 30 per cent and even 50 per cent on advent calendars by big brands, such asNet-A-Porter, Kate Somerville, Baylis & Harding and Lancôme. There’s also big savings on kids’ advent calendars, from Lego Harry Potter to Marvel.
Ready to get stuck in? Read on for the very best advent calendar deals out there right now.
