Best advent calendar for men 2023: The waitlists are (slowly) starting to open
Waitlists for 2023 advent calendars for men are slowly starting to open and some of the best men’s grooming advent calendars from last year are still on sale and going cheap
T here was a time when buying an advent calendar for men was an almost impossible task – despite the fact there are dozens of advent calendars designed with women in mind (you can check out a whole host of these best beauty advent calendars on our sister site, mamabella).
Yet in recent years, the number of men’s advent calendars has been on the rise. Some seem a tad clichéd – 12 days of socks anyone? – but there is an increasing number of grooming, aftershave and hair care advent calendars designed for men doing the rounds, from an increasing number of retailers.
Below are the best advent calendars for men 2023 waitlists that are now open. There aren’t many (yet) but we’ll add to this as and when other waitlists go live. We’ve also listed the 2022 calendars that are still on sale, with many going cheap. These can be good Father’s Day and Valentine’s gifts or just a way to get hold of skincare and grooming products for a cheap.

Dr Barbara Sturm advent calendar 2022
£450 | Buy now
What is it? The Dr Barbara Sturm advent calendar is pricey, to say the least, yet having used Dr. Sturm products from previous year’s advent calendars, we’re inclined to say it’s worth it. Dr. Barbara Sturm’s skincare range commands such high price tags because it uses a molecular approach to skincare. This means it’s highly tailored and highly effective at solving the various skin concerns and problems you may have. Single products can cost as much as £110+ so while £450 is a huge sum of money, if you’re a fan of her work or you’re keen to give it a go, this may be the most “affordable” way of doing it.
Price: £450
