The word sustainability is one you’re going to hear a lot about this year with Beauty Advent Calendars. From The Body Shop sustainability starts with the design of the calendars having a drawer theme, which should then encourage you to keep hold of your calendar after opening all the drawers to repurpose them and store your crafty bits, some tea lights or makeup. I still use three of my former advent calendars from over the years to store sample products in.  You will also an act of kindness prompt hiding behind each door too and this is to help encourage some festive goodness every day.  Every Calendar sold will also help towards a donation of a a minimum £500,000 to organisations across the globe which support unpaid carers and volunteers.
