Inside, shoppers will find a festive assortment of signature favourites, pampering minis, and seasonal exclusives across bodycare, skincare and fragrance. Harrods' beauty advent calendar is back after their fragrance one sold out in just 48 hours.
At £48 for 24 items, this works out at £2 per product, which is a wallet-friendly price considering the inclusion of full-sized face masks, 50ml body butters, and two rollerball perfumes. Shoppers can look forward to a comprehensive tour of Soap and Glory's best sellers, with a few festive surprises thrown in, reports the Mirror.
Elsewhere, the Cult Beauty Advent Calendar often sells out quickly, boasting a value of more than £1,100 for 2025, featuring 20 full-sized products and 16 of this year's most sought-after launches.
It's touted as 'bigger and bolder than ever' with more makeup products than in previous years. Harrods has also begun taking pre-orders. Retailing at £250, this premium countdown contains 32 high-end products, including 14 full-sized items from revered and celebrity-loved brands such as La Mer, La Prairie, Augustinus Bader, and Medik8.
However, the real value will always come down to personal preference, so it's always worth checking out the full contents before hitting 'add to cart'.

One of the biggest bonuses of the calendar is that it's a great self-care countdown to the big day, but it's also ideal for splitting into mini gift sets for friends, teachers, or colleagues, creating DIY beauty hampers or for using as stocking fillers that won't break the bank.
However, for those who have purchased the calendar previously, it might feel a little bit repetitive and there are some notable absences of some of the brand's latest launches, like Vanilla-licious or Cherry Wild. For me, it feels like a slightly missed opportunity to truly showcase the brand's portfolio.

Why your Christmas dinner could cost a lot more this year
Food inflation is forecast to continue rising, potentially reaching six per cent by the end of the year, making Christmas shopping more expensive. The Bank of England has warned that increasing food prices could push overall inflation to four per cent, having already cut interest rates for the fifth time this year. Business leaders attribute rising inflation partly to Labour's autumn tax increases, such as higher employer national insurance contributions, which force retailers to raise prices. The British Retail Consortium estimates that government policies, including a rise in the national living wage and a new packaging tax, have added an extra £7 billion to retailer costs this year. A poll by the BRC found that two-thirds of retailers anticipate further price increases this year, with many having already raised prices or implemented hiring freezes.

Christmas dinner warning as costs could rise after Labour tax changes
Food inflation is set to continue to rise to the end of the year, industry figures have warned, potentially reaching a high of six per cent in time for Christmas. This means an even pricier festive shop can be expected, as stubbornly fixed headline inflation (CPI) causes prices to continue to rise across the board. Currently at around 3.5 per cent, the Bank of England has warned that increasing food prices could bring inflation to four per cent as it voted for a fifth cut in interest rates in a year on Thursday. Decision makers pointed to Labour's autumn tax rises as a contributing factor in rising inflation, with business chiefs arguing that higher costs from an increase to employer national insurance contributions (NICs) has had to be offset by increased prices. The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has estimated that the cost of this policy and others like a rise to the national living wage and new packaging tax has added an extra £7 billion to retailer costs this year. This will drive food inflation up to six per cent by the end of the year, the industry body predicts, posing challenges for household finances in the run up to Christmas. Meat, poultry and tea prices have been some of the fastest rising this year, which can be partly linked to global factors like high demand and crop issues. In a recent poll of retail finance chiefs representing over 9,000 stores, the retailer body found that two-thirds predict they will have to raise prices further this year. Around 85 per cent of these said they had already increased prices, with 42 per cent said they had put a hiring freeze in place. Commenting on the Bank's interest decision, BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson said: 'Food prices have already been climbing steadily, and the BRC has warned this is only the beginning. If the Autumn Budget once again lands on the shoulders of retailers, then it will only serve to fan the flames of food inflation – with poorer families being hit the hardest by the Treasury's decisions. 'While retailers are doing everything they can to shield their customers from rising prices, their ability to absorb further costs is extremely limited. If Government goes ahead with its planned higher business rates threshold for 4,000 larger stores – including many supermarkets – then it will be ordinary households who suffer the most.'

The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. A third buyer left a simple but positive review: 'Great price for quality, only two weeks using it so far so good. It has the perfect size and temperature control to avoid burning your hair.' In contrast, someone else shared: 'This new one isn't as good as my previous unfortunately... takes longer and for some reason makes my hair more static.' Still, others continue to rate it highly: 'Excellent straighteners. I use them at 150° to limit damage and they perform really well even at that low temperature.' Head to Boots to get the Remington Shine Therapy S8500 Hair Straightener while the offer lasts.
