Are these calendars available now?

Many 2025 editions are already on sale, and several are available for pre‑order. Retailers release in waves—adding to Wishdeck helps you track restocks and share your wishlist instantly.

Which one has the best value?

Depends on use: Charlotte Tilbury for makeup lovers, Diptyque/Jo Malone for fragrance, LOOKFANTASTIC/Sephora for variety, Liberty/Selfridges for luxury.

Yes—Liberty, Selfridges, Charlotte Tilbury and Space NK often sell out quickly. Pre‑order and save backups in Wishdeck.

Are there duplicates year to year?

Usually some hero repeats (fan favorites), but shades and product mixes change. Check brand pages for the 2025 line‑up.

If you like discovery and travel sizes—yes. For full‑size heavy users, pick calendars known for more full‑sizes (e.g., Charlotte Tilbury, some department stores).

Good for sensitive skin?

Look for fragrance‑light picks (e.g., LOOKFANTASTIC mixes) and avoid heavy actives. Patch test; minis help you try before committing.

Can I split with friends?

Totally. Divide categories (makeup/hair/skin) and split costs. Add items to a shared Wishdeck to coordinate who keeps what.

What if I only want candles?

Go Diptyque or Jo Malone. They're curated for home fragrance lovers and make the whole month smell festive.

Sephora and LOOKFANTASTIC typically deliver strong price‑to‑worth. The Body Shop is also a reliable feel‑good choice.
