Whether you're a sucker for a good beauty box or just know a good deal when you see one, I probably won't have to convince you to run and buy Anthropologie's 24 Days of Beauty Advent calendar ($98) for 2026. At least not after I tell you that it features over $300 worth of must-have products, all wrapped up in a gorgeously designed gift box, for less than $100. Sure, you've still got some time before the holidays, but considering this festive find's unbelievable value, I'm 99 percent sure it's going to sell out well before Halloween—so you'd best scoop it up while you can.

Unsurprisingly, Anthropologie's annual Advent calendar already has a massive fan club due to the fact that it's packed with *24* of the most coveted beauty products (in travel sizes), which this year includes the beloved Caudalie Vinoperfect brightening eye cream and the Vacation SPF Chardonnay oil that smells incredible. Throw in the fact that it comes complete with pretty little boxes marked daily for the countdown to Christmas, and it's actually the gift that keeps on giving—even if you just plan on giving it all to yourself. (Hey, you deserve it!)

We were able to secure one of the buzzy boxes early this year, and let's just say that it lives up to the hype. As PureWow Senior Social Creator Kate Kesselman confirms, "The calendar itself is gorgeous, with beautiful designs that add a little bit of magic to my mornings. The products are also the perfect sample size—you can actually try each one and decide whether it’s something you’d want to purchase again in the future."

As for the goodies that stand out? "Some of my favorite items in the calendar are the Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo Original, Stila Lionfish Bronze Stay All Day Smudge & Set waterproof gel eyeliner and Juliette Has a Gun Not a Perfume eau de parfum. I love the dry shampoo because it’s the perfect size to bring with you for happy hour after a long day of work when your hair may have gotten a little greasy. I’ve also been wanting to experiment with brown eyeliner but hadn’t committed to purchasing one yet, so having the Stila liner in the calendar gave me the opportunity to try a new liner color and step outside my usual routine."

Anthropologie

Given that it's packed with *tons* of buzzy beauty products at a great value—and boasts adorable packaging to boot—I couldn't imagine not treating my bestie (and, OK, maybe myself) to this holiday calendar. Hey, it's never too early to start counting down to Christmas!
