Jo Loves Advent calendar 2020 product review

Jo Loves makes a £300 advent calendar that is both limited edition and that has products beyond the normal spectrum of skincare and make-up.

But, first what is and Advent calendar?

“Advent” means Coming in Latin and an advent calendar counts the days to Christmas.  For example, the featured image is of the Jo Loves 2020 Advent Calendar. It has 24 individually numbered drawer and in the countdown to Christmas, you open a drawer/day and it will reveal a present (e.g.) a candle, fragrance and so on.

Key assumptions

I asked about the weight of the 4 candles – they are 70g each. I still don’t know the price of the 2 room sprays and have assumed that they are £0.

All prices are from jo Loves (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 between categories

What do I think?

Clearly you are getting what you pay for and a bit more with this calendar. If you love fragrance and candles, then this is a great advent calendar.

My only cavaet is that there is a £100 gift card included as one of the goodies in this calendar. Please be sure that you are going to use this as otherwise the utility of the calendar immediately diminishes.
