Although beauty advent calendars seem to have just arrived on the shelves, Boots has already cut the price of one of its Christmas countdowns, making it one of the most affordable options this year. The Boots Macmillan 24 Doors of Joy Advent Calendar has seen a price drop from £90 to a mere £44, offering more than half off its original price.

This sought-after Christmas countdown is part of the health and beauty retailer’s weekly Star Gifts rotation, meaning it’s could revert to its full price before December. The festive collection includes 24 beauty and skincare items and accessories from various popular brands such as Liz Earle, Ted Baker, Soap and Glory, and No7, making it an ideal choice for those who love a bit of self-care.

To put the savings into perspective, some of the No7 products in the calendar are worth more than the new, reduced price for the entire set. The combined value of the No7 Protect and Perfect Intense ADVANCED Day Cream, No7 Protect and Perfect Lip Care, No7 Stay Perfect Eye Pencil Black, No7 Beautiful Skin Softening Foot Scrub, No7 Protect and Perfect Intense ADVANCED Night Cream and No7 Skin Illuminator amounts to £66.75, essentially making the remaining 18 products ‘free’.

In addition to popular items from the retailer’s own beloved brand, the calendar also features a range of creams, serums and even a body mist, along with useful beauty tools like an eyelash curler, nail file and face cloth.
