How much does it cost?
This might be the only calendar that I have been reviewing that has consistently raised its prices year on year, by quite substantial amounts – clearly someone didn’t get the move about a cost of living crisis in the UK
2023 £260 for 22 products
2022 £245 for 22 products
2021 £225 for 27 products
2020 £195
The calendar costs.£260 and apparently you get £1020 worth of products, you get 22 full-sized product.
Where can I buy the calendar? Shipped outside home country?

Ships after 21st September
As far as I can tell, it’s only available for sale in the UK. And isn’t available to be purchased outside the UK
What do I think? Would I buy this?
Well, the good thing is that Fortnum and Mason have written their calendar is completely recyclable, provided you remove the magnets in each of the boxes. And that really, that really pleases me. So that’s a good enough reason to buy it if you the other reason to buy it.Is because the size of the product’s are quite substantial, you know they are actually really proper sized products rather than the travel size products which are endemic in the advent calendars around this year.
Would I buy it? I’m not really. I’m not sure I would use all the products – I also think that these calendars are designed for Fortnum & Mason’s captive customer base – they are the type of thing that slightly older women/men would seek (so many anti-ageing products, that are naturally derived), who don’t mind the price tag (is there a value for money proposition (?) and like the old world British (dare I say colonial) style of packaging.
