Freedm Street 2020 Advent Calendar – Available for Pre-Order!

Took the plunge. This makes advent calendar number 7. I couldn’t resist, all the gifts look lovely

I saw several Advent calendars on the Boots website, but they do not ship to the USA. So disappointing.

I’d get it for $200, but the shipping really blows the budget here

what do you get if you don’t choose makeup?

bought this for a close friend. indulgent but she’s super generous. i bought it without makeup so I hope there are good substitutions for her! Love the no plastic and love the donation component as well!

This looks stunning, I wish there was something comparable sold in the US. That $50 shipping is just too much for me on top of the base price.

I took the plunge. This is right up my alley as far as the type of product’s and the full on message it sends. I know this is out of most people’s price range, and understandably, but I’m a nurse who’s had a rough several months, and wanted to treat myself. The product’s look amazing. Zero plastic packaging, the calendar itself is gorgeous and will definitely be reused to store small items, the makeup items look amazing, and most importantly, the three charities you are supporting. I love this concept. Watch the unboxing with Sammy Lou; very thorough and thoughtful; had me in tears especially when she talked about one of the charities. So, in my opinion, it’s worth it to me. But to each is own. I love seeing everyone’s input.

This is a nice looking one that’s unique. It’s not worth the price to me.

There are some reasonably priced advent calendars, such as Nivea, Dove, and Soap & Glory, that are only available in the U.K. I don’t know why these brands, that sell high quantities in the US, don’t also offer these calendars in the US.

(I did email Nivea last year asking if they would sell their calendars in the US, and received a very curt and unfriendly “No”. )

Neutrogena and Olay should also offer advent calendars as a way to get customers to try their many different product lines.

You don’t get any tax back shipping to US?

I l9ve the concept. If it was in the hundred dollar range with free shipping I would purchase.

I love the idea of this calendar but it is a little bit too expensive for me.

I watched the unboxing video (linked on their site) and a lot of the items are pretty high-value and at least deluxe sample to full size, plus a few items (ornaments that are also seed-growing paper) represent charity donations. I think this calendar is a good value–and no wasteful packaging! I am sending one to my sister in England. If she winds up loving any of these brands, she can prob find them over there.

The box itself is gorgeous, and at least full size are included—but the shipping is ridiculous.

I’m definitely keeping my eye on this, maybe it will go on sale with reduced shipping.

Let’s be nostalgic for a bit… remember when advent calendars were so fun and cute little surprises to give your day just a bit of extra happiness? Smack, down goes that reality. Why are we spending a fortune on samples and brands we aren’t sure about (if we love them, we are already buying their full size equivalent at a better price than an advent calendar). I want something in an affordable price range that is either exciting or useable. My best option is the sock calendars from target! My kids get the best overall with LEGO calendars 🤦🏻‍♀️
