“Advent” means Coming in Latin and an advent calendar counts the days to Christmas. For example, this Elemis 2020 Advent Calendar has 25 individually numbered drawer and in the countdown to Christmas, you open a drawer/day and it will reveal a “present” such as a face mask or body lotion etc.
Calendar details…
Retail price is £175. Expected value per seller says is £403. I estimate £390. Already available for sale on the Elemis website.
All prices are from Elemis UK website (UK retail prices so 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 percentage. P.S. As Alexander Pope wrote, “To err is human, to forgive divine” so my calculations may have errors. Don’t shoot me, tell me.
Allocation of products between categories
This really is a simple calendar that has principally skincare products. Out of the 25 products, only 5 are bodycare.
| Advent calendar price | % of value | |
| Skincare | £348 | 89% |
| Bodycare | £42 | 11% |
What do I think?
If you are a fan of all the products in the Elemis range then definitely this is a dream come true.
However note that different treatment lines (generally) target different age groups. If you use the pro-collage marine line are you really going to use the “superfood” range? I would be mindful of this when buying the calendar.
