Advent calendar: these 24 goodie ideas will even make adults happy

Want to put together an advent calendar for your loved one this year? A grand aspiration! Here are 24 suggestions that’d make me happy as an adult.

Twice over the last two years, I put together a hypothetical advent calendar that I’d have enjoyed as a teenager. It’s mostly beauty stuff, but this year I’ve chosen a different approach. For my Galaxus Advent calendar 2024, I selected gifts that I’d appreciate as a 32-year-old with my own household, a creative streak and occasional back pain. Ergo, a mix of useful items, gadgets, beauty and colourful goodies. The idea here, of course, isn’t that you copy my calendar one-to-one. Unless money is no object, then go for it! Rather, my article is intended to help if you’re still missing an idea or two for those little doors.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
