I wanted to get my girlfriend a good Advent calendar this year, she was born in Germany and moved to the USA as a kid so she’s very attached to them. I’ve already gotten her some nice chocolate ones, but I decided to try and get her 25 actual gifts this year since I wasn’t able to source any of the good beauty calendars.

I was willing to spend $250+ on a GOOD beauty calendar that has stuff she’d actually use, but every one I’ve learned about since starting to look in early October was always sold out or had irrelevant products (too many candles, exclusively lip stuff when she doesn’t really go too crazy on her lips, etc).

I wanted to see if anyone here could help me pick several good ideas. I’m willing to provide any extra details about what she already has/likes to use, or whatever else may help this process. She loves skincare products that are effective and high end, she does masks and peels and scrubs, she loves jewelry but it has to be gold and high end because cheap metal causes her skin to break out in a rash, etc.

Sorry if this isn’t an appropriate post for this sub!
