If you feel the Christmas shopping rush is starting earlier and earlier, you'd be right.
Boots has announced the release of its biggest range of advent calendars ever, with over 40 available across beauty, food and toys.
And there are loads of big-name brands involved - Liz Earle, Rituals, Laura Ashley, Disney, Star Wars and Lindt to name a handful.
So why the rush to buy now? Once considered a bit of a thoughtless gift, advent calendars are now so packed full of amazing, covetable products, useful gifts, and tempting treats that they've become a cult Christmas buy.
In fact, they're so sought after that they sell out months in advance. Boots report that their advent calendar sales increased 20% last year compared to the previous year, with one selling every minute in the Christmas run-up.
We can see why - an advent calendar is the gift that keeps on giving for up to an entire month. It's a great way to add some joy and anticipation throughout the cold, gloomy days of December.
So whether you're after a gift-to-self or something for a loved one, check out our edit of the best advent calendars that are available now at Boots, or about to drop soon.
And, needless to say, you'll need to snap your favourites up pronto.
