Hey Guys, Today's post is following on from our Beauty Advent Calendar post, this post I have delved deep and had a look for some advent calendar's that are out this year that aren't beauty orientated. There really are a lot of different options out there. 1. The Gin & Tonic Advent Calendar £99 You start the calendar off with 70cl bottle of The Lakes Gin and then everyday leading up to Christmas day you get a bottle of tonic to mix with the tonic to play around with flavours and find your tipple. 2. Boutique-y Gin Company Advent Calendar £99.95 If you are after more gin rather than the tonic, then the Boutique Gin Company has the calendar for you. This calendar features 24 different 30ml gins, including different flavours such as Cherry, Neroli & even Chocolate Orange!. 3. Yankee Candles Advent Calendar's £24.99 - £74.99 This year Yankee Candle have 3 different advents, ranging in price. The first retails for £24.99 for 24 tea lights, including new scents Glittering Star & Icy Blue Spruce as well as a mixture of some favourites! The next retails for £34.99 and is the Fold Out Advent with a mixture of both votive candles and tea lights. This again has some oldies and some new scents such as Icy Blue Spruce, Frosty Gingerbread & Winter Wonder. The last and most luxurious on offer is the Advent Tower retailing for £74.99 and contains 2 small jars as well as 12 votives, 6 wax melts and accessories. Full of both new and timeless scents to count down to Christmas. 4. Candy Kittens £15.99 This calendar is full of vegan sweetness. With flavours such as Blueberry Bliss, Peach Fizz & Sour Watermelon. This calendar even gives you a few extra windows for those half days where waiting 24 hours is just too much. 5. Snaffling Pig's Pork Advent Calendar £17.50 This calendar was a sell out last year and I think its so unique and different! It has a bag of crackling behind each door of its 24 doors, with varying flavours, so this is a really unique and different type calendar for any savoury lover! 6. John Lewis & Partners Wine Advent Calendar 4.5L £70 24 doors to open and wine down with (hilarious I know) as you count down to Christmas. Each window contains a 187ml bottle of either red, white & rose, so will make the perfect advent for anyone that loves their wine. 7. 24 Days of Tea Advent Calendar £20 24 different tea's from Chamomile to Christmas cookie infusion. Perfect for those who love a good cuppa. Suitable for vegans & free from artificial flavouring. 8.

Has some gorgeous flavoured chocolate such as; Gingerbread Caramel, Raspberry Truffles, Honeycomb as well as many other festive flavours. 9. Advent Of Change Charity Calendar £27.95 There really is no better feeling than giving at Christmas and knowing that you've made a difference.

Star Wars LEGO Advent Calendar £19.97 Not only is this the perfect advent for children but for those big children we call men in our lives too. This is a 24 door calendar which contains mini Lego figures, starships and other Lego gifts. 12. Georg Jensen Advent Candle £15 Instead of having a advent calendar why not go back to a more tradition countdown to Christmas and get a Christmas advent calendar candle. 13.
