Expect Surprises Ahead with The 10 Best Advent Calendars to Gift (or Keep for Yourself) This Year

I have no patience when it comes to advent calendars. I can never open just one a day; I need to open them all and as quickly as possible. I find advent calendars to be a playful way for brands to spread holiday cheer while giving people small samples of all of the best things they make. (Those samples can also end up as nice one-off gifts!) If you have an affection for advent calendars like I do, boy is this list going to be fun. Below is a list of the top 10 advent calendars to give as an early December gift or to just gift to yourself.
