The straw toppers are ideal for 30 and 40 oz tumblers.

Promising review: "I got this Advent calendar for something different this year. The numbers doors are easy to open, I looked forward each day to open the door and see what I get. These straw toppers fit my Stanley cup straw perfectly and keep straw clean. Absolutely love!!" —julie

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "Highly recommend purchasing. This is our fourth year of getting the Harry Potter Advent calendar. The kids love choosing the window of the day and assembling the toy inside. They're very interesting and small enough for the kids to put them together during breakfast and still not be late for school on the days leading up to winter break. I recommend for kids 5 and up; adults are sure to enjoy it too!" —Patrick W.

Promising review: "My four boys have loved opening each day, and I know they will play with these all winter long. The little instruction books allowed my preschoolers to follow along to create each item. Providing hours of play each day leading up to Christmas!" —Victoria F Theodossopoulos

This delightful Advent cal comes filled with a variety of delicious coffees and cocoa K-cups.

Promising review: "This has a fair share of standard coffees (just black, different roasts from different brands), but also a bunch of fun ones. Some are just black coffee with some flavoring, others are fully different drinks, like red velvet hot cocoa. A fun way to start the day." —Sunniva Johnsen-Bjorhusdal

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

One of my fellow Christmas-obsessed friends just bought this for her toddler and is having a blast planning out what to put inside. To be honest, if you have little ones who are just starting to grasp the idea of "gifts," you could totally pop small items they already own in the drawers (shh, don't tell).

If you're looking to add even more holiday magic into your kids' day-to-day, check out the fan favorite Step2 My First Christmas Tree (which I caved and bought this year for my own toddler).

My husband and I both adore this brand — and not just because the chocolate is diviiiiiine (because, it is!). Tony's Chocolonely is a small business on a mission to help end modern slavery and child labor in the chocolate industry. You can learn all about it on their website. I have this Advent calendar, and it is taking A LOT of restraint not to dive into it early.

Get it from Amazon for $37.14.

Promising review: "Love the idea of a countdown to Christmas calendar in puzzle form! This is the second year in a row that I have purchased one from Galison. I am looking forward to next year’s already!!! This makes a great unique gift for the special puzzle lover in your life." —Mrs.Ironarm

Promising review: "These 12 days of hot chocolate are bringing me some delicious moments this winter, and that makes me very happy. I am on day three, and so far, the pistachio macaroon is my favorite. Each taste is one of a kind, and does not mimic any of the other flavors in any way. This is a mini advent calendar, but the taste isn’t mini at all!" —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

Get it from Build-A-Bear for $49.95.

There are *SO* many items packed inside this baby — not to mention they're actually *useful* things (think: pens, notebooks, a pencil case, dividers, fun sticky notes). I totally recommend this for anyone looking to spruce up their desk with minimal effort.

Get it from Papier for $140 or from Anthropologie for $175.

Promising review: "My 13- and 14-year-olds are loving it. Nice presentation too, very colorful, the picture doesn’t do it justice. Far more interesting than a bunch of same sized boxes with a perforated cardboard door. This is well made and will likely be reused for some other treasures after the calendar is all opened." —Kelly

Get them from Amazon for $21.67.

Promising review: "Wonderful memories of the Christmas special packed in an Advent calendar. If you want to do it right, open the previous days when you open a new one.

I've tried out a variety of products from this brand and have become such a fan! Their skincare items feel luxurious without being over-the-top — the ingredients are scaled back and do a great job of keeping skin moisturized (and smelling delish).

Promising review: "Wow! Everything about this advent calendar is amazing and luxurious. The price point is an absolute steal!!! Especially compared to other 'luxury advent calendars.' The range of products is what makes it an amazing gift. There are so many full-sized items. One of the best gifts I’ve ever given.

Promising review: "We purchased the Melissa & Doug wooden Advent Calendar for our toddlers to play with during the Christmas season, not to use as an Advent calendar. They love counting the numbers on the tree and love placing the magnetic ornaments. Terrific for practicing fine motor skills! The base of the tree has a nice space to store the ornaments. So far we’ve only misplaced the star! The tree and the pieces are sturdy but will fall apart if chewed on or dumped in the bathtub or chucked down a couple of flights of stairs, but with typical use it should last many Christmases! I just hope we find the star!" —B & A

Get it from Amazon for $17.19+ (available in two styles).
