the most luxurious advent calender I have ever had was a lego star wars one, where every day had a lil mini kit inside it to build. Nothing has ever come close tbh
I had a Playmobil calendar as a kid and it was so awesome! All the days had little scenes or accessories for the scenes in them, and I remember getting so excited having new animals to play with because my grandma got me a zoo set for my birthday that year.
@@mrbork7218yeah of course they’re making them still. The LEGO Star Wars advent calendar with the minikit was from 2023, maybe 2022. Not to forget the LEGO Harry Potter calendars (f**k Rowling), LEGO Marvel calendars, City, and Friends (I think it’s still made). Edit: corrected spelling
Also I was so sad when the train one didn’t have model trains in them. I was so excited for a train calendar. New buisness prospect ig. Also I’d love that cheese one

The worst thing about the Sephora one is that for the equivalent of $2500 its all mostly stuff you get as freebies or cheap in bulk year round. A perfume case and a eye roller.... No one's counting down to get those on Christmas when there's better versions of both items at sephora for less money than that calender
this! plus the fact that when the calendar first went up it claimed to contain actual makeup products only for it to be cheap sephora collection freebies that you could get at the dollar tree
It’s pretty hard to overdose on your daily calcium intake without taking supplements, but eating that much hard cheese in a short period of time probably could have done it. In which case, yeah, you were poisoned by cheese.
Especially for the train full of unreleased products. Like if theyre not being sold separately then how do we know theyre worth $600 lmao if it sells for $300 i think theyre just worth $300
Yeah even if it says its $200 retail $300 in value its always useless garbage you would have never bought anyways. I use to get makeup ones its always a red lipstick its always the most basic stuff that they got from the clearance rack.
Yeah like you mean to tell me WITHOUT the packaging you would sell all those products to consumers all at about 50% sale like come on....we're not stupid.
I mean P Louise is kinda expensive, and it's all full size products, so if you compare it to the price of similar items in her line, it is indeed cheaper. It's not cheap, but definitely cheaper than buying individually. The issue is you probably won't use every product though so it would have been cheaper just to buy stuff you will actually use. It's a useful calendar for pro MUAs though!
I have also had a herbal experience in which I was hungry but had no real food. Ended up eating a whole bag of frozen red chilies. I cannot describe how my tummy felt the next day.
Once I ate three very hot, very pickled, chilis, and toast with hot sauce on it just to stem a craving. I wasn't high, haven't been high for like 10 years, just did it because I wanted to. And the day after was when I learnt why I shouldn't be allowed free will.
swarovski is basically just glass cut to look like crystals so they're insanely fragile. I saw someone on here unbox a disney themed advent calendar from swarovski (it was very loosely themed) and one of them broke when she accidentally hit two of the glass ornaments together.
Worst part about that one is the ornaments were stickers stuck behind a glass ball. It wasn't Disney shaped ornaments. That was wild. I don't remember how much the calendar was but it was awful
Yes and no. No "naturally" occurring crystal looks like that, they are all cut to look like "gemstones". Minerals come in many different crystal habits, but none of them look like jewels you find in rings, those are all cut from rough crystals. On the other hand, Swarovski Crystals use and/or make different types of glass, different ways of treating the glass and smelting, specific minerals, etc. Glass is, after all, molten silicates, usually obtained from sand. From what I can see, Swarovski Crystals are Quartz glass which is pretty good, some of my favourite dishware is made out of "crystal glass" aka Quartz. Quartz is a pretty hard mineral, it's 7 on the Mohs scale, while Topaz, Corundum (like Sapphire or Ruby) and Diamonds are 8, 9 and 10 on the Mohs scale. Quartz is really not bad in terms of hardness, but the crafts they make are usually neat and fragile pieces of glass art, and the conchoidal-style fracture can be seen in almost any glass you break (look up Obsidian). Stuff like glass gems embedded into metal rings will be fine and safe, they won't break easily. However, that's all I can say. I am not a fan of Swarovski Crystals, I just wanted to explain what the deal was :P
I don't have a physical advent calendar like you simpletons, I have the virtual pet site established in 199 neopets advent calendar event they do each year
the yana girl that was reviewing the train advent calendar is infamous in the booktok community for disliking six of crows because there were too many words on a page and she didn't expect it to be a heist story (even though that's the main plot) but at least the train was a great advent calendar :)
@@terrapintelyn nah i think she said she wouldn't read a book over 300 pages which is crazy why would you be in a book community then and she said she only reads smut 😭😭😭
@@terrapintelyn Tbf, English isn’t her native language iirc, so I think that was more what she meant. Too many words in too small a font. It’s common tactic with a lot of books nowadays to spend less on paper, which is unfortunate because it makes books so much less accessible. Especially if you have visual impairment, a neurological disorder that affects your ability to read or focus, or aren’t a native speaker.
Pinely, you missed the part of the Sephora points thing where EACH POINT IS ONE DOLLAR, not ten cents. Meaning you don't have to spend $250 to get the ball on a stick, it's 2500 DOLLARS SPENT 😭😭
Yea he did mention multiple times that you had to spend $2,500 to get it. The $250 part was him explaining how most rewards programs are equivalent to about 10¢ per dollar spent. So they were implying this box was a $250 value. But yes, you did need to spend $2,500 to earn those points. It is good to point out that you got a lot of products from spending that $2,500 tho. It wasn't just handing them $2,500 for nothing but this calendar.
$12 is pretty standard for enamel pins like that. The absurdity comes from the fact that they’re all in one place so you’re spending almost $300 at once on pins you can’t even see instead of collecting them over time for $12 every once in awhile.
I don't know that much about garlic but I have to ask, would there be a way to have 25 different types of garlic in a calendar ? No right ? There's not that much variety of garlic. Maybe if it was garlic products or different spreads or sauce with garlic maybe and if it's the second one absolutely count me in.
13:18 - 13:51 it's actually so hard to shop for men in that age range unless they want something specific/have specific interests. looking for gifts for men almost always brings up a variety of alcohol-related things with no way to filter them out, and that _sucks_ when you're shopping for someone who's sober. you get a lot of beard & mustache grooming products, which sucks if the person you're shopping for doesn't have facial hair. you get a lot of golf products, which sucks if they don't play golf. something practical like a wallet is gonna be something they already have and don't need replaced on a yearly basis. it's way worse when they're the type of guy who, when you ask him what he wants, responds with "nothing" or "you don't have to get me anything"
@@ThestuffthatSaralikesFor people like that I just get them things they seem to *always* need. They buy alot of coffee? Get them their favorite or a new one to try. Always losing their earbuds? Get them a new pair. Or what if they have a favorite piece of clothing but it’s starting to get holes in it? Get them a few extra pairs! The good thing about gifting things people already have/have had is that you *know* they can use it.
Honestly the train one seemssss pretty worth it- i watched a full opening vid the other day, someone who bought it themselves/wasn't sponsored or anything. All the full size products for that price is pretty solid. I cant speak on the brand's quality i cannot be bothered with makeup most if the time lol
They also had a dollhouse one with full size pallets and stuff. That's the best makeup Advent calendar I think. I don't use makeup but I watch a lot of Advent calendar videos.
My mom made us personalized advent calendars. They were absolutely awesome. 24 days of good stocking stuffers, basically. And then Santa, who came both to my grandparents’ house where we spent Christmas eve and Christmas morning, AND left some stuff at our own house, so when we went home after Christmas, there was STILL MORE loot. She also gives gifts at Valentine’s. I have inherited her over enthusiasm, by the way. Luckily I didn’t have kids.

I have a tea advent calendar this year, aside from the teas being tasty it’s nice because it forces me to make time to sit down and relax with a hot cup of tea everyday 💕
I don't know anything about the brand so I can't speak to the makeup quality, but that train one legit seems worth it. The design is creative and appealing, and if it's full of special edition full size products, I have little doubt the value would be worth what it costs. If I had the extra income, I'd be tempted to purchase it. The hanky panky one is wild,especially for such basic designs.
This is the first time I’ve gotten an advent calendar and I can see why it’s fun! The one I got from StyleKorean is filled with full-sized, trending k-beauty products, cosmetics, and no bs trinkets. Which makes me feel extremely lucky compared to the Sephora calendar 😂
beatles socks jumpscare. i used to work at a barnes and noble and we sold boxes of the beatles socks but in over a year hardly any of them sold to the point where we had to discount them like 80% just to get rid of them and still nobody fucking wanted them
socks in general I feel are items that often get left out and collect dust. Since its a common thing and the only people I imagine even considering buying them are hardcore Beatles fan which for me I rather just buy a CD
@biwan1000 im pretty sure he means weed. It’s known to make people very hungry hence the entire wheel of cheese. (Wasn’t sure how much context you needed so i just wrote it all down just incase, also for other people that might have the same question)
Gotta say these advent calendars are ridiculous. Most are actually. The chocolate ones taste like poop. The toy ones are stuffed with garbage that cost less than a dollar and they sell for $40. Only decent ones ive come across(for kids, i dont do it for myself) are the lego ones and the paw patrol one was cool. My daughter picked a steam experiment one from nat geo this year. Its been super cool so far. Fun quick science experiments, a rock collection and lab glasses are what ive seen so far and its the 5th today!
I never knew you were vegan that’s so cool. I’ve been vegetarian for like a decade and just went vegan so I’m enjoying my vegan chocolate advent calendar this year! (None of this expensive bullshit lmaoo) Respect u for your decision definitely going to subscribe now 🫶
@@ajeet16yay so happy you’re vegan too! I actually got given two different vegan advent calendars (very spoiled!!) one is by the brand NOMO who makes great vegan chocolate in general lol and the other is from hotel chocolat and is hazelnut flavoured which is fun! Hope this helped, happy holidays :)
I was about to say the NOMO one is accessible because it’s available in supermarkets, or at least on multiple websites, but I’m talking as someone who’s English so hopefully if you’re from a different country you can still find an option available to you :)
@@laineyboylan5292it isss 😋 I actually didn’t know the second one was hazelnut until I tried it but that worked out well for me because I love hazelnut things!
A $2280 jewellery advent calendar with an engagement ring in means that by taking the average you're giving them an engagement ring worth less than $100. I've never gotten engaged but that seems like poor form.
Ngl I never understood the whole “the ring needs to be worth a month of your paycheck to be meaningful” thing If my partner proposed with a Ring Pop I’d still be absolutely flattered
@@Xenephostraditionally you give a stone worth 3 months of salary attached to a simple band so that you have some financial stability if the marriage falls through or he dies.
I really like the train one, it feels like whoever designed it was actually excited to be making a makeup advent calendar for the sake of making a makeup advent calendar, instead of just “company want money”
It's quite appropriate to show the train one right after the Disney pins, as Walt Disney himself was a giant fan of trains. He has a tiny train in Walt Disney Studios that he would ride on. So yeah, idk if it was accidental, but if not, that's really cool.
As a Disney pin collector, it's funny to hear someone talk about them out of the context of being a video specifically about pins! And also, in the context of pins, a single pin can go for $20-$30 on its own, and these have a special element (the windows are stained glass instead of plain enamel) so around $10 per pin is a deal for these! I do understand how it looks very expensive for those not in the pin world, though!
@@bishielurfer added idea: half the socks are just all the different roach species that evolved to look like beetles to keep themselves safe from predators (or other species of pretenders to the beetle throne) and you have to guess wich of the socks are real and wich aren’t. I’d also definitely want some socks that just have a slight green and violet shimmer to them like those extra fancy scarab beetles do (if only the yarn necessary for that kind of effect wasn’t so itchy. Well i guess invent magic yarn first and the ship your beetle advent calendar)
As someone who collects pins 12 pounds aint bad for a pin if its good quality. Hard to tell from the images and they also look to be just traced official art. But. I do know disney pins are crazy. And youre partially paying for the experience so... I dont think too bad of a price overall.
The train advent calendar looks absolutely amazing. I definitely can't afford something like that but if I could it definitely seems worth splurging on.
Actually a garlic advert calendar doesn’t sound bad. Maybe a seed garlic advent calendar. Lots of varieties. Sorry if just like some gardening advent calendar please.
I think part of this is because christmas nowadays is more associated with capitalism than actual religion. Even my grandma, who is super religious, ain't going to church on christmas but she is 100% buying new decor each year
Crapitalism LOVES Xmas because of exactly that, more or less. People complain that stores are constantly pushing the Xmas stuff out earlier and earlier, but it’s because they’re trying to maximize those Xmas sales. Corporations LOVE anything that gets you to buy shit, and Xmas is basically “Buy Shit: The Holiday” on a commercial level. Whether you celebrate for religious reasons or not, you *can* have a proper Xmas without consumerism.
You guys invented* Hanukkah just so you could have a commercialised winter holiday centred around buying and getting Stuff of your own *Yeah it existed but no one cared about it until it became Jewish Christmas and now it's like the main holiday
I got so excited when I heard there was one filled with beetle socks, but then I realized they were just stupid Beatles socks. We can't have anything nice...
The cheese story is fantastic. I too ate almost an entire block of cheese late at night and it was so bad after that, it really does feel so heavy in your stomach. But I still love cheese, just in moderation.
Also, apparently, the P. Louise advent calendar is INSANELY good. It actually gives you a ton of useful stuff (if you're into makeup, which I am not and, as you said, neither are you), and the details and theme are immaculate.
I'd rather get chocolate (which is already extremely expensive this year). The Dior one is kinda cute, but with the price you can buy so much more useful stuff.

the cheese one is good though, like if there’s more than 6 pounds of cheese in there it’s not a bad deal
December 1 hit and my flatmate woke me up with an advent calendar... turns out the Brits are VERY serious about them
We're not serious it's just..normal to have one lmao???
i am pretty sure most people in america dont have advent calanders regularly you guys are just weird
yeah if its normal for everyone to have one then you guys are serious about them
We are.
I'm a pen addict. When you said MontBlanc I said "Woooah 😮😮😮!"
i laughed extra hard at the swarovski calendar since my mom is an avid collector… it sounds ridiculous when you break it down
This is the first time I’ve gotten an advent calendar and I can see why it’s fun! The one I got from StyleKorean is filled with full-sized, trending k-beauty products, cosmetics, and no bs trinkets. Which makes me feel extremely lucky compared to the Sephora calendar 😂
“Heaux” is a cheeky way of spelling “ho” 🤓
I got an advent calendar that has rocks because rocks are cool.
Oooh, I want that one!
finally something good!
6:28 i hope you know you are one of my go to youtubers to watch when i too eat a whole wheel of cheese
6:39 that’s a lot of cheese man
beatles socks jumpscare. i used to work at a barnes and noble and we sold boxes of the beatles socks but in over a year hardly any of them sold to the point where we had to discount them like 80% just to get rid of them and still nobody fucking wanted them
socks in general I feel are items that often get left out and collect dust. Since its a common thing and the only people I imagine even considering buying them are hardcore Beatles fan which for me I rather just buy a CD
The Sephora "finger sock" is actually a dog toothbrush that they sell on Chewy (and Temu).
Vegan Pinely? We got him
15:56 i thought they added in a rose toy lmao
"a herbal thing" made me laugh out loud for real 🤣
what was the herbal thing?
@biwan1000 im pretty sure he means weed. It’s known to make people very hungry hence the entire wheel of cheese. (Wasn’t sure how much context you needed so i just wrote it all down just incase, also for other people that might have the same question)
I got my cats an advent calendar this year instead of myself. It’s a new toy every day. It was like $9 at PetSmart
Gotta say these advent calendars are ridiculous. Most are actually. The chocolate ones taste like poop. The toy ones are stuffed with garbage that cost less than a dollar and they sell for $40. Only decent ones ive come across(for kids, i dont do it for myself) are the lego ones and the paw patrol one was cool. My daughter picked a steam experiment one from nat geo this year. Its been super cool so far. Fun quick science experiments, a rock collection and lab glasses are what ive seen so far and its the 5th today!
I think the new LPS calendar one is pretty cool, as long as you get one with the pet eyes printed correctly.
I never knew you were vegan that’s so cool. I’ve been vegetarian for like a decade and just went vegan so I’m enjoying my vegan chocolate advent calendar this year! (None of this expensive bullshit lmaoo) Respect u for your decision definitely going to subscribe now 🫶
Fellow vegan here, where did u get ur chocolate calendar from? I am a chocolate FIEND and this would be the best thing ever!
@@ajeet16yay so happy you’re vegan too! I actually got given two different vegan advent calendars (very spoiled!!) one is by the brand NOMO who makes great vegan chocolate in general lol and the other is from hotel chocolat and is hazelnut flavoured which is fun! Hope this helped, happy holidays :)
@@phoebe5715sounds yummy 😋
I was about to say the NOMO one is accessible because it’s available in supermarkets, or at least on multiple websites, but I’m talking as someone who’s English so hopefully if you’re from a different country you can still find an option available to you :)
@@laineyboylan5292it isss 😋 I actually didn’t know the second one was hazelnut until I tried it but that worked out well for me because I love hazelnut things!
5:55 your cheese story is very human.
A $2280 jewellery advent calendar with an engagement ring in means that by taking the average you're giving them an engagement ring worth less than $100. I've never gotten engaged but that seems like poor form.
It's an empty space for an engagement ring. So you choose your own ring and put it in
Ngl I never understood the whole “the ring needs to be worth a month of your paycheck to be meaningful” thing
If my partner proposed with a Ring Pop I’d still be absolutely flattered
Only if you care about money... My partner could propose with a dollorama ring and I'd be happy...

Happy socks are incredibly expensive
i did not expect the hollow knight music, especially accompanying a story about getting high and eating insane amounts of cheese
I really like the train one, it feels like whoever designed it was actually excited to be making a makeup advent calendar for the sake of making a makeup advent calendar, instead of just “company want money”
for the record "heaux" is just meant to be a different way of spelling "hoes" lol
3:33 According to Alexandria Ryan's video this turns out to be a mass-produced Temu dog toothbrush lol
It's quite appropriate to show the train one right after the Disney pins, as Walt Disney himself was a giant fan of trains. He has a tiny train in Walt Disney Studios that he would ride on. So yeah, idk if it was accidental, but if not, that's really cool.
that red silicone finger brush thing from the sephora box is a cat toothbrush if i'm not mistaken...... i bought one from the pet store..........
no it’s a tiny sponge mostly used for concealer
Oh the sephora person missed out. imagine the VIEWS if you did it daily, people would be itching to see what the next day's make-up was
As a Disney pin collector, it's funny to hear someone talk about them out of the context of being a video specifically about pins! And also, in the context of pins, a single pin can go for $20-$30 on its own, and these have a special element (the windows are stained glass instead of plain enamel) so around $10 per pin is a deal for these! I do understand how it looks very expensive for those not in the pin world, though!
Aw man, I was so excited for the Beatles sock one until I realized it didn't say "beetles"... that would have been so dope!
I would love a line of socks designed after different beetles. There are some really gorgeous beetles out there
@@bishielurfer added idea: half the socks are just all the different roach species that evolved to look like beetles to keep themselves safe from predators (or other species of pretenders to the beetle throne) and you have to guess wich of the socks are real and wich aren’t.
I’d also definitely want some socks that just have a slight green and violet shimmer to them like those extra fancy scarab beetles do (if only the yarn necessary for that kind of effect wasn’t so itchy. Well i guess invent magic yarn first and the ship your beetle advent calendar)
you cant say that P Louise train is not VERY well made. Based on what we saw it also looked like the stuff in it was worth having.
Blud was straight cheezed out
As someone who collects pins 12 pounds aint bad for a pin if its good quality. Hard to tell from the images and they also look to be just traced official art. But. I do know disney pins are crazy. And youre partially paying for the experience so... I dont think too bad of a price overall.
When he started hyping up the last calendar I just KNEW it was gonna be a minions one 😭
i have a Littlest Pet Shop advent calendar and it’s absolutely incredible
The cheese story is insane, but very understandable lol
I know my ass would love the cheese calendar though
6:19 as a Californian, this story is incredibly relatable
Did you get a pencil advent calendar?
The train advent calendar looks absolutely amazing. I definitely can't afford something like that but if I could it definitely seems worth splurging on.
Actually a garlic advert calendar doesn’t sound bad. Maybe a seed garlic advent calendar. Lots of varieties. Sorry if just like some gardening advent calendar please.
I’m not surprised. I used to work at Men’s Wearhouse and we would sell a pack of Beatles socks anywhere from $49-$120. So stupid.
2:17 It’s pronounced “HOE” I think you knew that! 😂
I got one with chocolate from work and I already ate it all
Eating a tiny piece of chocolate every day would be torture for me
Listen, Giant Cheese is worth it.
Honestly as an outsider (Jewish) it seems like Xmas is more and more just an excuse for consumerism. This whole culture is wild to me!
I think part of this is because christmas nowadays is more associated with capitalism than actual religion.
Even my grandma, who is super religious, ain't going to church on christmas but she is 100% buying new decor each year
Crapitalism LOVES Xmas because of exactly that, more or less. People complain that stores are constantly pushing the Xmas stuff out earlier and earlier, but it’s because they’re trying to maximize those Xmas sales. Corporations LOVE anything that gets you to buy shit, and Xmas is basically “Buy Shit: The Holiday” on a commercial level.
Whether you celebrate for religious reasons or not, you *can* have a proper Xmas without consumerism.
New video: Expensive Hannukah candles! 😊 Or menorahs, those can get pretty expensive if you choose 😅
You guys invented* Hanukkah just so you could have a commercialised winter holiday centred around buying and getting Stuff of your own
*Yeah it existed but no one cared about it until it became Jewish Christmas and now it's like the main holiday
I got so excited when I heard there was one filled with beetle socks, but then I realized they were just stupid Beatles socks. We can't have anything nice...
The cheese story is fantastic. I too ate almost an entire block of cheese late at night and it was so bad after that, it really does feel so heavy in your stomach. But I still love cheese, just in moderation.
Also, apparently, the P. Louise advent calendar is INSANELY good. It actually gives you a ton of useful stuff (if you're into makeup, which I am not and, as you said, neither are you), and the details and theme are immaculate.
i think id get the train calender for the train alone if it were cheaper tbh. thats a sick train.
gotta say, the Amsterdam cheese thing really got me off guard :D :D :D :D :D
I love the IDLES shirt!
i got so happy when u heard beatles socks, and then i got sad that it wasnt actual beatles...
imagine you got the actual beatles. i mean half of them are dead but imagine the real beatles were in there though
@emiliai but beatle socks 😩 they would look so cool. Imagine a Rino beetle on ur feet
@ Pretty sure there was one with him. Well not only ringo but all of them together so of course ringo was also on there lol
I got a calendar with daily candid photos of Pinely :)
can confirm that my dad, a 50 year old man, would love the james bond calendar
that is the most evil ho ho ho I've ever heard
I can hear the pain in your voice recalling your traumatic cheese story 🧀
You should do a vid on most expensive pens. That shits insane. There r even some made with moon rocks.
A garlic advent calendar sounds like something wario would have
I'd rather get chocolate (which is already extremely expensive this year). The Dior one is kinda cute, but with the price you can buy so much more useful stuff.
I really appreciated your cheese poisoning story
ETA I am currently eating cheese
wow that amsterdam cheese story was amazing thank you
5:40 he smoked so much weed and ate so much cheese that day
I hope if you get the beatles sock advent calendar they have ringo pop out and jumpscare you every time you open a day like five nights at freddys
omg EVIL PINELY IS VEGAN!!!! is pinely vegan as well?
