15+ Fun & Unique Adult Advent Calendars

I LOVE advent calendars – we had a special dinner on December 1st with our Christmas china and I gave the girls Christmas pajamas and then they opened their advent calendars.

But kids aren’t supposed to have all the fun!

I also love adult advent calendars and they have made a fun gift for myself, for my husband, or for my in-laws!

Here are some of my favorite adult advent calendars!

15+ Unique and Memorable Advent Calendars for Adults

Bonne Maman 24 Day Clock Advent Calendar – $54
The people have spoken and these are HANDS DOWN, top suggestions for adult advent calendars! Every foodie at home will love trying these different variations every day. We always love a good taste test and this is perfect for trying preserves we might not otherwise try! We gave this to my in-laws a few years ago and it was a hit!

24 Days of Book Lovers Advent Calendar – $30
I absolutely LOVE this arrival (no surprise there)! The colors and graphics are so charming along with the literary surprises inside! Suitable for all book lovers.

Seed Bomb 7 Day Advent Calendar – $48
For the gardener in your life, these 7 day seed bombs are a truly unique idea. Comes with 7 colorful seed bomb decorations that you can hang. Remove the seeds when ready and plant them in your garden or in a pot on your patio and enjoy the growth of wildflowers.

24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar – $20 – $110
This is one of the top suggestions for adult advent calendar ideas! Especially the arrival of Piper & Leaf, which is more expensive, but comes with a truly stunning arrangement and includes 48 Artisan tea bags. If you want something more affordable, this one has great reviews!

Hi June 12 Days Advent Calendar – $180 – $280
If you’ve been here for a while, you know my love for Hey June jewelry (if you haven’t, you can read about it here). So I was thrilled when they released a 12-day advent calendar, full of never-before-seen things! This is a great way to start building a jewelry collection if that is something you want to do. They have the most beautiful and simple cuts and I can’t wait to try them! And this year they are offering 6 day arrival. Great choice if you don’t want to spend a lot of money! Use my code JANSSEN for additional discount.

12 Days of Cheese Advent Calendar – $130
This cheese advent calendar is pricey, but legit! You won’t have a bite of cheese to try for 12 days, but the 4 ounces of different cheeses each day make it the perfect choice to share with the whole family and may be worth the money!

24 Day Cross Stitch Advent Calendar – $45
Isn’t this adorable?! Each day complete one more holiday cross stitch and end up with a cute decoration you can use year after year.

Check out this sweet 24 Day Advent Calendar – $75
I can’t believe how beautiful this advent calendar is. Shaped like a holiday brick house, you open it and inside are 24 drawers full of all kinds of high-quality candy. This one makes me drool.

Wobbles 24 Day Advent Calendar – $140
This is one of the more expensive arrival recommendations, but everyone says it’s 100% worth it! Advent calendar boxes give you a cozy cabin vibe and once you open each box, they turn into furniture to decorate your woodland cabin! Fun idea!

12 Day Advent Calendar Daily Puzzle – $24
Galison puzzles are one of my favorite puzzle brands because of their cute pictures and good quality pieces. When I saw this puzzle the day it arrived, I was thrilled! Each 80-piece puzzle is filled with unique holiday scenes that will get any teenager in the holiday spirit. If you want one that lasts 24 days, this Christmas Through the Window is a great choice and ultimately makes for one complete Christmas scene! Very pleasant!

Wasgij 1000 Piece Christmas Puzzle Advent Calendar – $24.99
And because I love puzzles so much, I had to mention one more great puzzle full of surprises! One puzzle is a picture on a box, and the other is a surprise scene that you need to put together using your imagination and providing clues. Great for puzzlers who want a bit of a challenge.

Olive June 25 Nail Polish Advent Calendar – $75
If you’ve been here for a while, you know how much I LOVE Olive and June nail polish (read why I love it here)! Get some sweet treats in the works with all the festive nail polish colors and accessories to complete your Christmas nails! They are offering a 25 Day Nail Advent, along with an 8 Day Advent this year!

Aldi Advent Calendar
This was mentioned many times and I know why! Aldi has lots of different options – wine, truffles, candles and even cat treats! These items sell out fast and can only be purchased in store, so be on the lookout for these items and get them before they’re gone!

Anthropologie Beauty Holiday Collection 24 Days of Advent – ​​$98
I have heard about this year after year and have heard it done very well. This place is stocked with tons of fantastic beauty essentials and Anthropologie usually doesn’t do anything wrong. This one ALWAYS sells out, so act fast! An added bonus this year is that they are offering a 12 Day option for just $50! Trader Joe’s usually has a fantastic beauty/skincare advent calendar for around $20, but you have to get it in the store and they will sell out, so get there early!

Sexy 24 Day Advent Calendar – $13
It’s especially popular during the holidays! Start something new every day with your partner! You can even customize it with your partner’s name at the top!

Williams Sonoma Baking 24 Day Advent Calendar – $80
Treat the home baker in your life to 24 days of baking fun! Filled to the brim with cookie cutters, spatulas, silpat mats, and lots of other goodies!

Escape Room Escape Game – $47
Last year I heard about this for the first time and it sounded really fun! This advent calendar is a 24 day Exit game and clue solving adventure! Open the door every day and solve the included puzzle to find out which door you have to open the next day. The reviews say it takes 10-15 minutes daily to solve the puzzle!

City Fragrances 24 Day Advent Calendar – $168
This arrival is dedicated to all things that smell great! From candles to vacuum cleaners to room sprays – this will be an adventure everyone can enjoy at home!

Hot Sauce 12 Day Advent Calendar – $24.99
Anyone I know who loves hot sauce, love hot sauce. The excitement is there and this arrival will be perfect for them!
