If you want to prep for the holidays sooner rather than later, consider this your sign to pick up an advent calendar. Because here’s the thing: Though many people write them off as cutesy countdowns to Christmas, they’re also filled with small, pre-holiday gifts. Foodies might love options that are chock-full of chocolate, and beauty buffs might appreciate travel-sized cosmetics—but Mud Pie’s Christmas Charm Advent Calendar Set is perfect for anyone with an affinity for shiny, new baubles.
All jewelry is personal, but a charm necklace or bracelet takes the customization factor to the next level: The charms you add to your setup tell a story that speaks to the wearer. If you or someone you know loves the originality of a charm bracelet, they’ll appreciate this set that counts down the last 12 days before Christmas.
This setup is available in two boxes, a Christmas tree and wreath, and they’re each filled with glam gifts. Inside, you’ll find a gold-toned chain (which is long enough to use as a necklace), and 12 enamel or rhinestone-clad gemstones.
Each gift is a total surprise: You might open up a glitzy wreath one day and a Santa Claus-themed charm another. By the time the 12 days of jewels are over, you’ll have a well-curated piece that’ll get lots of compliments during your next holiday party.
Best of all, this advent calendar has staying power. Unlike food or beauty options—which are filled with items that will likely expire—this strand of charms can be worn for years to come.
