For whatever reason, last holiday season was the season of advent calendars.
Advent calendars, for those of you who didn’t go to Catholic school, are used to count down the days until the celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus (i.e. Christmas!). Traditionally, these cardboard calendars feature tiny numbered flaps, that when opened, reveal a small religious photo or piece of chocolate (to keep the kids interested).
Nowadays, though, there is an advent calendar for nearly every niche. From specialty teas and skincare products to fine jewelry and items from luxury fashion houses, brands have really capitalized on the pre-Xmas anticipation with uniquely designed calendars filled with a selection of surprise goodies.
And when we say every niche, we mean every niche. Including sexual ones.
Yes, there are sexy advent calendars for all you naughty little ho ho hos, that are filled with a selection of toys and accessories for every type of play. And while there are a ton of sexy calendars out there to gift, we must direct you to the best in the biz.
Sex toy retailer Lovehoney is sort of known for its extravagant sex toy and lingerie advent calendars, to the extent that they quickly sell out every year. This week, the company launched its four new seductive holiday offerings, and let us tell you, they’re a real bang for your buck.
The four calendars — the Lovehoney X Womanizer Couple’s Sex Toy Advent Calendar, the Lovehoney X Womanizer 12 Days of Play Sex Toy Advent Calendar, the Lovehoney Blowmotion 12 Days of Play Sex Toy Advent Calendar and the Lovehoney 7 Nights of Temptation Lingerie Advent Calendar — each retail for under $200. However, you’ll find nearly all of them are worth well over $200. And unlike some other advent calendars on the market (cough cough Chanel’s $800 calendar full of worthless trinkets), Lovehoney’s boxes are filled with top-rated items like high-powered devices and luxurious accessories guaranteed to spice up intimate moments this holiday season and beyond.
