Boots advent calendars 2026: Luxe, Skin or Scent?

Boots has three premium advent calendars for 2026: the 24 Days of Luxe Beauty Advent Calendar at £150, the 24 Days of Skin Skincare Advent Calendar at £70 and, new this year, the 12 Days of Scent fragrance calendar at £90. Boots values them at over £700, over £300 and over £345 respectively, according to the product details reported by the press. Here is what is inside each one and which one we would pick for whom.

Three calendars, three budgets

The calendars went on sale on 2 September 2026, with early access from 1 September for customers on the waiting list, according to Beautyqueenuk and The Independent. On 10 October 2026 we checked the three boots.com product pages: prices (£150, £70 and £90) were as listed and all three were in stock. The contents below come from Boots’ product descriptions, as also quoted by The Independent, the Evening Standard, Good Housekeeping and hotukdeals, which agree with each other unless we say otherwise.

One thing the sources disagree on: the Boots description quoted by hotukdeals labels the 35ml Givenchy as full size, while The Independent says the only full size is the Floral Street mist. Either way, most of the perfumes are 10ml or smaller discovery sizes.

What we think: which Boots calendar should you buy?

24 Days of Luxe (£150): the best all-rounder. Boots’ £709.59 valuation works out at about 4.7 times the price, and 19 full sizes from Clinique, Estée Lauder, Caudalie, NARS and Aveda make it hard to argue with. At £5.56 per product it is not the cheapest per item, but it is the most “premium” of the three. The catch: online only.
24 Days of Skin (£70): the best value per product, at about £2.92 each, with 21 full sizes. Pick it if you love Korean skincare and want hydration and barrier care. Less suited to oily or acne-prone skin, as The Independent’s reviewer noted.
12 Days of Scent (£90): a discovery set rather than a bargain, at £6 per product. It makes sense if you want to try 15 scents before committing to a full bottle.

Our verdict: for most beauty fans the Luxe calendar is the one, and the Skin calendar is one of the best value K-beauty calendars of the year. If you want K-beauty for less, the LOOKFANTASTIC K-Beauty advent calendar costs £50 for 13 products, and for a bigger mix the LOOKFANTASTIC Beauty Advent Calendar 2026 costs £120.
