Advent calendars have become increasingly popular around the holiday season in the last few years but they have been around since the nineteenth century! They are generally used to countdown until Christmas, starting on December first and ending on Christmas Eve. Each day there is a little flap on the calendar to open what is inside is up to you! These are a great little way to build up anticipation for Christmas and a little something to look forward to each night. 


Our new snowflake advent calendars are a perfect way to add your own twist! A fun holiday offering that could help introduce existing customers to new products or fragrance or help new customers get to know what you have to offer! We have come up with a bunch of ideas for these little boxes but the sky's the limit!

You may also be curious what to sell these advent calendars for, our suggested price is $35-$100 depending on what is inside and your target market. Generally the sweet spot for holiday sales is $50-$75. Below are some ideas on what you could include in these boxes!


Advent Calendar Ideas

  • - Wax melts (either poured into the cavities or placed in)
  • - Guest soaps (either poured into cavities or placed in)
  • - Sugar scrub cubes
  • - Air fresheners
  • - Beeswax ornaments
  • - Shower steamers
  • - Shampoo bars
  • - Conditioner bars
  • - Tealights
  • - Paper fortunes, jokes, blessings, etc.
  • - Lip balm
  • - Bear balm
  • - Salves


One thing to keep in mind is fragrance migration since the cavities are not closed off to one another. It may be a good idea to package each one by using shrink wrap or cling wrap. Labels can easily be added in the cavities.
