Rituals beauty Advent calendar now 25% off

When we first wrote about the launch of Rituals’ Advent Wreath back in September, it instantly stood out as one of the most elegant beauty calendars of the year. Now, just in time for the festive countdown, it’s been reduced by 25% at LookFantastic, dropping from £103 to £77.25.

Inside the 24-door wreath, you’ll find a mix of mini pamper products from the brand’s signature foaming shower gels and body creams to skincare, haircare and even home fragrance. It’s a great way to sample the best of Rituals without committing to full-sized bottles.

What makes this calendar stand out is its thoughtful extras. Among the bath and body products are a fabric softener and scent booster, designed to make your clothes smell as good as you do. You’ll also find scented Advent candles in fragrances like hibiscus and cashmere rose, which are perfect for a long soak at the end of a busy day.

Rituals says the contents are worth £163.60, which makes this latest price drop an impressive 52% saving overall. None of the products are over 100ml, making them ideal for travel or stocking fillers, and there’s a nice balance between self-care essentials and little luxuries.

The calendar itself is shaped like a traditional Christmas wreath in festive shades of green and red, complete with a ribbon for hanging or a stand if you’d rather display it on a shelf.

Among the treats inside are the Hammam Black Soap (which is made from pure argan oil and eucalyptus – smells incredible), the Elixir Collection Miracle Keratin Recovery Hair Mask, micellar water, and a scrub glove, which are all inspired by Rituals’ bestselling scent collections like Sakura (Japanese cherry blossom) and Intuitia (sandalwood and vanilla).

It’s the sort of calendar that’s perfect for anyone who loves a quiet moment of calm during the chaos that is the festive season, or for those who simply want a daily dose of self-care in December.

At the time of writing, it has one glowing review, rated five stars out of five. The happy shopper wrote: “Great advent calendar, great products and great variety, lots of lovely smells.” One downside is that there are no larger items are included in the calendar, as there is nothing over 100ml but this is quite common in beauty Advent.
