Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Neal's Yard Remedies Advent Calendar 2026

We know what you’re thinking. By what measure can something priced at £185 be a ‘steal’. And to be honest, we’d be asking that question ourselves, if this wasn’t Neal’s Yard Remedies 45th anniversary Christmas offering, with a value of over FIVE HUNDRED QUID. Genuinely.

Now, we were going to give Advent calendars a wide birth this year. They generally feature some really spectacular finds alongside less-than-fabulous offerings (teensy samples, a stack of sheet masks, etc.), and while the price seems like a bargain, nothing’s a bargain if you don’t use it.

But this calendar – features predominantly full-size products, from a range we have known and loved for all of their amazing 45 years history (yes, honestly), and which keeps on innovating. (Never for the sake of it, but enough launches to keep the range fresh.) It also happens to be housed (as it were) in a gorgeous deep burgundy box, its design based on the Georgian building where Neal’s Yard Remedies still has its home, in Covent Garden. (Definite dollshouse vibes, which always pushes our buttons.)

We’re going to list full contents at the bottom of this page, but some extra-extra special items include three exclusives: Neal’s Yard Remedies Frankincense Intense Hydrating Essence (a plumping blend of hyaluronic acid, argan oil and pomegranate extract), the Ceramic Aroma Diffuser (pictured), which can be infused with essential oils to scent your wardrobe or coat cupboard, and the inky blue velvet Sweet Dreams Sleep Mask, to keep out all traces of light in soft, comfy style. (You could spritz it with NYR’s Goodnight Pillow Mist, of course, with the 45ml size that is included in the calendar.)

There are some real favourites of ours in here, including two travel sizes from the Frankincense Intense Age-Defying skincare line (and a 100ml Triple Action Melting Cleanser from the same range), gloriously scented Geranium & Orange treats, plus some Bee Lovely lusciousness. There is honestly nothing we won’t be thrilled to find in one of the calendar’s drawers, once the Christmas countdown commences.
