There are definitely no shortage of amazing advent calendars on offer this year, from those bursting with beauty buys to boozy calendars full of miniature spirits. But for those in need of some emotional and literal grounding, might we suggest a gemstone Advent calendar? Whether spirituality is your bag or you consider yourself an aspiring geologist, these Advent calendars have you catered for Christmas.
The box features 24 individually packaged gemstones and fossils, complete with an information card specifying the hardness, origin, and chemical composition of each stone. As for those looking to fill their pockets with quartz for spiritual reasons, we suggest purchasing the calendar alongside The Crystal Code: Balance Your Energy, Transform Your Life (£13) for a little extra insight. And if you have a penchant for personalisation, know that you have the bonus option of adding a name to the calendar. Read on to see what lies beneath.
