admin With the holidays revving up, it’s time to get your gift lists in order. One way to tick off several boxes? Ultra-luxe advent calendars for men.
Wait, aren’t those for….kids? Let’s back up, starting with a brief history lesson: Advent calendars, are used to count down the days of Advent—the month or so leading up to Christmas Eve, starting four Sundays before Christmas. And there are special calendars to count down the days, which often incorporate a daily treat. When we were growing up, that usually meant, like, a piece of chocolate. On a good day. But now that gift-giving has become one of the main features of the holiday season, advent calendars have become a way to kick off gift-giving process in earnest, a trailer of sorts before the big theatrical release.
We won’t lie—when we first heard about them we were skeptical. But the advent calendars we came across in the interim—the kind stuffed to the gills with luxe grooming products and skin care essentials—might actually (swallows pride)…make for some of the best gifts out there. At the very least, they pack a whole lot of value into a fun-to-open package. And if taking a religious tradition and turning it into a way to celebrate frivolous luxuries feels a little blasphemous, well, you can also buy one with a daily sex toy.
If you’re running shockingly low on gift ideas—and don’t mind a back-of-the-envelope currency calculation—the best advent calendars for men are worth a look. Here are our favorites you can buy right now.
