Harrods epitomises the ultimate in luxury products. My hope is that this beauty calendar bottles some of that luxury at a more affordable price point.
But, first what is and Advent calendar?
“Advent” means Coming in Latin and an advent calendar counts the days to Christmas. For example, this is the Harrods calendar. It has multiple individually numbered drawer and in the countdown to Christmas, you open a drawer/day and it will reveal a present (e.g.) a candle, parfum, soap etc.

All prices are from UK website of Harrods, or a suitable UK website, so prices are VAT inclusive, "A" is the quantity of the full sized product. "B" is the price (£) for the full sized product. "C" is the quantity of the product in the Advent Calendar. "D" is calculated as (C/A)*B. "E" is calculated as D/F expresses as a percentageP.S. As Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human, to forgive divine” so my calculations may have errors. Don’t shoot me, tell me.

What do I think?
The value of the products is probably more than £916 because I have deliberately excluded the value of a candle…
