From Dior to Maybelline, Jo Malone to Lush, beauty advent calendars represent a fantastic value-for-money gift, Black Friday or not, usually containing must-have products with a value that, if totted up, would come to far more than they would bought separately. Plus they often give you the opportunity to try something new. Did I say you? I mean your loved-one, relative, bestie ... oh go on, why not treat yourself, but hurry because these are selling out fast. All available at time of compiling.
