I just love receiving and giving advent gift calendars. They are truly the gift that keeps on giving. If you’re unsure what to get your best friend or your sister or a secret Santa, don't worry. There are advent calendar gift sets for every interest or focus, from food and beauty to stationery and socks. These gifts really extend the holiday season. And the recipient will think about you every day that they open it from December 1 on!
Advent gift sets sell out so early, so make sure you pick up your favorites soon. Plus, you'll also get some Christmas shopping done, which helps clear up your holiday mental load—a gift to yourself!
If you're more of a DIY advent calendar family, we've rounded up a bunch of traditional options for you on the CLJ Holiday Shop.

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
Raise your hand if you panic when your phone's low battery notification turns on? (Just me??) There's nothing worse when I'm out on a fun holiday outing taking video memories of my family, and I see that red light. Or I'm traveling and stuck in the airport on a layover...it gives me anxiety! I've tried […]
I put out a call on Insta to see if anyone needed help with holiday hosting, and I had so many great replies. There were some questions that popped up multiple times too, so I compiled this Q&A to hopefully help you prep for a smooth and stress-free hosting season. It can feel intimidating to […]
