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!
