The 2020 Advent Calendar for ESPA is called ‘​There’s No Place Like Home​’ and this is one really cleverly thought out product. 2020 has been a year like no other for all of us, some have experienced things they never hope to do so again, life has changed immeasurably for some and others have had everything they knew as 'normal' no longer being what it was. So ESPA in their wisdom have recognised that the slower pace of life we have all been living has been something we have had to learn and behind each drawer of this advent are 25 hand-selected ESPA products which go across the ranges for the skin, body and not forgetting the mind.ESPA Beauty Advent Calendar 2020

The Best Advent Calendars for Men 2020

Advent Calendar season has well and truly started and already there is so much to choose from. One thing that always stands out is how each calendar is, like most beauty halls, aimed at women - something I’ve always argued is unfair. Sure I spend a fair amount of money on makeup and skincare, so do a lot of my Male friends, yet the one reason they don’t go to department stores is because they don’t feel brands have anything to offer them.

For 2020, there has been a few Advent Calendars aimed at men and there are ones which stand out.

Liberty Men's Grooming Calendar
Liberty always have one of the most iconic advent calendars and this year, their grooming calendar is pretty fabulous. It contains £460 worth of products from brands such as Claus Porto, Ruffians and Susanne Kaufmann. It goes on sale for £195 on 7th October.
Liberty Advent Calendar for Men 2020
I have a full review of this calendar here

Mr Porter - The Net A Porter advent calendar for 2020 is amazing and again this year, there is Mr Porter for the men and it too is amazing.
Mr Porter Advent Calendar 2020
It contains 12 skin, hair and body products including Augustinus Bader, Elemis, 111Skin and Dr Dennis Gross to name a few. It is said to go on sale in early November and will be priced at £105 here.

Next - Again this year, Next are releasing two advent calendars and the one for him is pretty good for the price and it is available right now.
Next Beauty Advent Calendar for Men
Featuring 24 days, behind each door you will find brands such as Elemis, LAB Series, Liz Earle and Hugo Boss.  The contents are worth over £200 yet the calendar costs just £69.  

Again, there is a full review of this calendar here.

ASOS - Here we have a 12 Day Grooming Advent Calendar and I think it is pretty good!
ASOS Grooming Advent Calendar 2020
Inside you can see brands such as LAB Series, Bull Dog and The Ordinary. The calendar is on sale now and it costs just £35 here*.

If you want to know what’s inside, I have a full review of this calendar here.

Barber ProThis is a 12 days of grooming essentials for men and it includes a selection of masks from the Foaming Cleansing Mask to the Calming Under Eye Mask.
Barber Pro 12 Days of Grooming Advent Calendar
The contents of this advent calendar are said to be £59 but it is on sale now for just £35 and it does make a really lovely gift.

Clarins - This year again, there is a his and hers option available which I have shared here on my blog and what I love about this one is that it contains a whole host of skincare that my mister would actually use.
Clarins Advent Calendar for Men 2020
This one is a 12 days of Christmas with Clarins and it features some well known products such as the Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream. The contents are said to be worth over £119 but it is on sale for £60 via Boots.

I am hoping that other brands will make an effort to product a calendar for the men in our lives, with these three offerings, I know my hubby would be more than happy with any of them!
