Hi Liz! Sorry to bug you in the comments here but I didn’t see any sort of link for this kind of thing on the main page.
For some reason I’ve stopped getting “the daily sizzle” (i.e. all the reviews and spoilers for the day in one email). The last one I got was 9/30. I still get the individual emails for every single review, but I miss having everything show up in one easy to read email.
Did you guys change something starting 10/1? Are you no longer sending the daily summary?

Is it provincial of me to eagerly anticipate the $15 Target 12-day holiday calendar? I enjoyed the 2017 and 2016 Target ones very much. I can’t afford anything like this, although these Body Shop calendars look wonderful.

I forgot about those. I loved the Christmas socks calendars last year. I had one for me and one for my teen son.

I’m looking forward to seeing it launch too! I’m curious what’ll be in it this year. 🙂

Love the artwork on these boxes.
With so many advent calendars to choose from this year I think I am just going to wait for Black Friday and buy one with the biggest discount.
I heard Aldi calendars will be in the U.S. for the first time and there’s one with wine! I’ve never been to an Aldi but there are 3 in my area. May have to check one out.
Costco has lego advent calendars this year. I don’t have any kids at home right now but I’m thinking it might be fun to get one anyway.

While you’re at Aldi, pick up their divine Choceur chocolate truffles, which they bring in usually in November or December. Thank you for telling me that they’ll have calendars!

Thank you. I will have to check that out. I also heard they will have a cheese advent calendar but I can’t imagine how that would work – wouldn’t they need to be refrigerated?

nail files, foil packets, $1 sponges, BLACK EYELINERS, mini samples – easy pass!

They went on sale last year 50% off. Much more reasonable price. Im still using last year’s stuff and at least half are dupes. No FOMO here…

Are there any Advent calendars worth the price this year? Anyone? My first comments didn’t post

I was excited about these until I read the ingredients.
The shampoos and shower gels have SLS as the second ingredient which my body can’t handle 🙁
Oh well, I will use my money on another calendar.

While these look beautiful, I have an issue. I purchased a body shop advent calendar a couple of years ago. It had many full sized products, in fact, my teen girls are still using some of them! It was around $100. I remember because I had to justify the cost to myself. Why are all the advent calendars so expensive this year and only seem to offer samples? Am I the only one feeling this way?

I agree! Last year I got a whole bunch of advent calendars. So far this year nothing is interesting me and the value just isn’t there anymore. It’s disappointing, but at least it’s good for my wallet. I think I remember these advent calendars going 50% off around Black Friday last year, so I’m betting that will happen again.

Yeah! My other comments didn’t show where I ranted about this. In Europe they are going for $114 after conversion and they get free shipping. The same box here is $225 and you have to pick it up and the value of the box on the UK site is $265 (after conversion) but they are selling if for $225 in the US! Nope!

I buy Clark shoes and they are usually a lot less on the UK website even after the conversion and shipping. If you can wait as shipping usually takes longer it might be worth it to shop UK sites.

I noticed that the Lookfantastic calendar is cheaper on its U.K. site vs. the U.S. site too!

That happens to me often. I’ve read the usage terms, and still in the dark why some of my comments get auto-flagged. It is frustrating.

These are the first Advent calendars that I am seriously considering purchasing! I think that my daughter, who’s away at college would really love this!

They are going for half the price in Europe with free shipping and here we have to pick them up. The nearest body shop to me is 3hrs away. Look up the value of the boxes on the UK site for US citizens they are not that great of a deal.

Plus the large one has a value of $265 after the conversion and we are expected to pay $225 and we apparently can’t even have them delivered we have to go to a retailer? Wow. I am so mad. I saw an unboxing on youtube and when she said 99 pounds (for large one) I got so excited, I told my husband that’s what I wanted for Christmas. I’ve been thinking how excited I am going to be to get it and unwrap basically 25 gifts, ugh! Well there goes that.

I am mad! I asked for the big (fox) box for Christmas and in Europe it’s going for $113 after the conversion but to buy it in the US they are charging $225. Great! This is my first year dealing with Advent calendars and honestly I am really irritated. They either don’t ship to the US, charge way too much to ship to the US, or you buy it and it’s delayed over a month (Bonne Maman). Very disheartening.
There are no Body Shops near me plus it’s disgusting the mark up to sell it in the US. No thanks!
