A $24.99 Beauty Advent Calendar

CVS lists the CVS 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar at $24.99. Advent calendars are one of the most popular holiday gifts, and a beauty version at this price makes a good stocking stuffer or a countdown treat for yourself.

What to Check Before You Buy

The listing does not show what is inside, so open the product page for the contents and the number of items. Confirm whether the calendar is made of full-size or sample sizes, and check ingredient lists if you have sensitive skin. Calendars like this are often seasonal and sell out as December approaches.

Who It Suits

It works as a gift for someone who enjoys trying new products, or as a budget-friendly way to sample before committing to full sizes. Because it is under $25, it fits easily into a gift budget — see our holiday gift guide by budget for other ideas at every price.

Order Early

Advent calendars are timed for the lead-up to Christmas and tend to be limited in stock. Order early and check delivery dates in our last-minute gifts and shipping deadlines guide. If you are picking up in store, confirm availability first.

Use CVS Rewards

Our guide to CVS ExtraCare explains how rewards and coupons can lower the cost of an order like this.

Coupons and Returns

Check current CVS coupons and read the return policy for beauty items, which is often limited once a seal is broken. See holiday return policies and how to find and stack holiday coupon codes.

The Bottom Line

At $24.99 this is a practical, giftable holiday buy. Check the contents, order early and use any available CVS reward or coupon.
