Baylis & Harding pampering Advent calendar now under £40

With beauty Advent calendars arriving earlier each year, shoppers are already snapping up options that offer indulgence without the high-end price tag. One of the most popular affordable picks this season is the Baylis & Harding book of 24 bathing beauty treats, available now on Amazon for £39.96. This is a great price as it is still £45 at Next.

Known for its elegant bath and body products, Baylis & Harding has filled this year’s edition with 24 miniature self-care essentials, including bath crystals, hand creams, body lotions, and shower gels. It features the brand’s bestselling jojoba, vanilla and almond oil fragrance, sweet mandarin and grapefruit scent, and midnight cherry aroma.

The calendar’s packaging is designed in soft gold and baby pink and orange tones, with numbered doors hiding a new beauty surprise for each day leading up to Christmas. Inside, shoppers can expect travel-sized versions of popular products such as bath bubbles, body wash, hand cream, and body butter, all of which are ideal for trying out the full range or keeping for overnight stays.

One previous previewer wrote: “Gave this set to my wife as her Advent calendar. She’s delighted with the range of items. She says they are a nice size, especially if you’re going away for a couple of days.”

Another happy shopper said, “Bought this for myself instead of a chocolate calendar. Filled with lovely lotions for body, hands and feet, and gorgeous smelling bath stuff for long leisurely soaks.”

However, not everyone was completely satisfied. One customer commented: “It was nice, but I wouldn’t buy again, not enough variety.”

Behind the 24 Advent doors are different products, which include (but are not limited to) a 30ml bath milk, 30ml shower crème, 30ml shampoo, 30ml conditioner, two bathbombs and a soap in the jojoba, almond oil and vanilla scent, a 30ml shower gel, 30ml hand and nail cream, two bath bombs, and bath soak crystals in the sweet mandarin and grapefruit fragrance, and hand soak crystals, bath bubbles, and body butter in midnight cherry.
