Why wait until Christmas to start unwrapping? Advent calendars make the case for treating yourself all December long, and this year’s lineup goes well beyond the usual bite-sized chocolates.

This year, brands are finding increasingly creative ways to cash in on the tradition. Nespresso has teamed up with Swarovski for a sparkly caffeine fix, Lego is bringing holiday cheer to a galaxy far, far away, and Bloomingdale’s is packing more than $1,200 worth of luxury beauty products into a single box. Many of this year’s most coveted calendars are also reusable, with collectible figurines, ornaments and keepsakes designed to outlast the holiday season.
