Last week while braving the wilds of Bolton the always lovely BeautyqueenUK and I ventured into a pub to grab something to eat before a heavy night out with my brothers. The pub already had their Christmas decorations up and it hit me like a ton of bricks that yes, Christmas actually isn't that far away. There have been a lot of posts for Beauty Advent Calendars across beauty blogs, the wife has found and written about over 50, yes 50 that are available for women. Once again though, there is a distinct lack of them for us blokes (pity us ladies) which is such a shame because I had quite fancied having a good choice to choose between this year after struggling to find just one at Christmas 2015. Anyway, all is not lost, there are a few out there and I've rounded them up for you lovely people below:
Clarins for Men - £95. In the past I've found Clarins Men products to be a little bit hit and miss. Their eye creams are out of this world yet the having cream left me irritated in more ways than one. This 12-piece Clarins Men kit contains all of the skin care essentials for a radiant and healthy complexion and for me will give the perfect opportunity to decide one way or the other whether or not to look at other items in the range over the coming twelve months.
Sadly it is out of stock but keep checking here just incase.
The Bearded Man Co. - £29.99. This is great for all those bearded fans out there. This Calendar has 24 little window that house a new dose of love for us razor dodgers. Available right now here.

Wera Wear Advent Calendar - £39.95. The Advent Calendar by Wera is perfect for the professional and DIY enthusiast, included in this unique gift idea are 24 professional quality screwdriving tools so you can build your own tool kit in the run up to christmas. This years calendar contains many Kraftform Plus screwdrivers with exclusive red handles, as well as a bottle opener to really help you get in the festive mood. Available right now.
These can be very pricey, but for a novelty gift set to really get the Christmas spirit flowing in your home I think they are worth every penny. I haven't managed to get my hand on mine, my preference would have to be the Bearded Man Co and Bath Body Collection calendars - they contain products I know that I'll use and don't require a second mortgage to purchase. At under £30 they really do represent decent value for money.

Craft Beer Advent Calendar 2016 - £60. This Calendar has 24 removable windows each revealing a shiny bottle of quality craft beer in 330ml bottles which includes IPAs, strong ales, porters, bitters, blonde ales and more. Available now for pre-order, this one looks like a great gift for ale lovers. This is one that the my friend should deffo consider for her husband as he is really into his craft beers.
Bath Body Collection Advent Calendar for Him - £29.98 on Amazon. This isn't anything I have come across before and it came up in a Google search. However, it does contain 24 surprises across a range of grooming products and a few useful grooming tools. Available now here.
So there you have 5 advent calendars for you husband, boyfriend, dad, grandad, brother or friend and whilst we don't have luxury of over 50 like the ladies do (see the wifes post) there is at least some choice!

It is a shame there isn't more for men, but high to brands like Clarins who have bothered x
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see that the men have not been forgotten, am sure many more will start to come on the market soon x
ReplyDeleteThese look pretty cool! Definitely good to see more options for men becoming available, beauty advent calendars are huge now!
ReplyDeleteThese are such great ideas! I think my pattern would love the craft beer one
ReplyDeleteLaura x
Great ideas I always love the beauty calendars, for me or my male realatives
ReplyDeleteI may have to treat Steve to one of these advent calendars - although the craft beer one would be perfect for my father in law!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend is going to love these, especially the screwdriver and beer ones haha. The Clarins one sounds great too but it's a shame there aren't more beauty/grooming calendars available for men!
ReplyDeleteGreat advents for men. I love the idea of surprises, but at the same time I never use all of the products in the advents. I saw some fab advents - Drinks by the Dram, I think, though never bought one.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is such a big kid he'd love an advent calendar - may have to surprise him
ReplyDeleteLove that there are options for men this year! About time x
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realise there were many options for men. The craft beer one looks great x
ReplyDeleteIt can be so hard to find advent calendars for men, but you have featured some great picks!
ReplyDelete....you've missed one off! One that I know all the daddies go crazy for..the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar ;) It usually sells out really quickly but the mini figures are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the beer one, in fact I want that one for myself!
ReplyDeleteOh yes!!! I wondered if there were any specifically for men! This is great, I'll have so much choice now!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Thanks you for the inspiration, I now know what I'm buying my friend for his birthday.
ReplyDeleteI think this is something that will get popular, as the ladies ones have. Hopefully next year they'll be a few more to choose from! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that advent calendars are becoming more popular now with adults and that you can find ones like this. My dad would love the tool one whereas my husband would prefer the craft beer
ReplyDeleteI'd have never thought to get hubby a calendar other than a chocolate one. My hubby would love the beared man one x
ReplyDeleteI love the idea but a bit too pricey for me
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful selection of advent calender's they are really nice.I might surprise my partner with one of these.
ReplyDeleteThese look like brilliant advent calendars, I might just get the beard one for my partner :)
ReplyDeleteThese are a great idea. You see so many advent calendars for women and hardly any for men!
ReplyDeleteThose advent calendars look great but I couldn't see my husband using one - he would prefer chocolate any day!
ReplyDeleteI actually never knew they did men's advent calendars but I'm glad they do as I had been thinking of getting my other half one. The bath and big works would suit him. The prices are ridiculous of some of them and I wouldn't dare spend that but under £30 is doable as I'd probably spend that on stuff I don't need at the supermarket every week!
ReplyDeleteOh these look brilliant! Such fab ideas for the festive season. I made a beer advent calendar for my husband last year and he loved it.
ReplyDeleteIts a shame that there arent more options for men. My bf however has his eye on the lego one! :)
ReplyDeleteSo last week my husband finally gave in and told me he wants skin care for Christmas! 10 years of telling him to look after his skin and finally he has cracked. This may just ease him into it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're sharing mens advent calender's as I've only seen women's ones. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the advent calendar with the tools! That is a cool idea! My dad would love it!
ReplyDeleteOooo the one with the tools in is brilliant. My partner would love it xx
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I was wondering about advent calendars for men. The bath and body one sounds awesome!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see there are some advent calendars for men - hopefully more brands will start to get involved.
