THE ADVENT CALENDAR has come a long way from manky-tasting chocolate (that’s strangely moreish all the same).

There are now a ton of grown up options to get you through December – and they’re the perfect treat for yourself or a loved one. But mostly yourself.

1. You could try the Ginvent Calendar

A little bottle of wine a day. What a treat.

3. Or even a craft beer box

There are bath bombs, shower gels, and body lotions inside.

7. Indulge your inner child with Lego Star Wars

Filled with luxury beauty stuff worth over £250 (€290). At the moment, you can get it for €40 if you spend €40 on clothing, beauty or homewares.

Now you just have to decide if you’ll wait and open them one by one or blaze through them all in a day. It’s up to you.
