Advent calendars, once filled traditionally with chocolate, are now hiding everything from teeny skin care to toys to mini jars of jam. Really, there’s a calendar for every interest, hobby, or age. They have also started selling them (and selling out of them) earlier than ever. This year, we spotted them for sale in mid-September. So, while it may feel crazy to buy one several weeks before Halloween, I would suggest getting your hands on one now, especially when they’re on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
