In this era of product disruption, it only makes sense that the once tame, sweets-stocked advent calendar has been co-opted by creative daredevils everywhere.
While there is some dispute over the actual length of time these calendars should endure — some say 12 days, others 24, and more recently, 25 has been the trend — there is no disputing that the treats they conceal are becoming more niche than ever. So while some of you might be content with chocolate, ornaments or little manger-inspired figurines, we think others may find something a little more befitting their personality: be it booze, grooming products or, yes, sex toys.
There’s something in here for everyone.
