ADVENT CALENDAR 2025

The packaging feels luxe enough to keep on my vanity all December, and the way the curated products are arranged makes each morning’s reveal feel like a mini spa session. I’m already three doors in and the variety is spot-on for building a proper skincare routine before the holidays.

I was skeptical about spending this much on a calendar, but opening a new Sturm product each morning has genuinely become my favorite part of the day—the variety of serums and creams inside keeps my routine feeling fresh through December.

The 2025 advent calendar is a nice way to test several formulas without committing to full sizes, and the daily reveal feels like a proper ritual. I just wish the doors were numbered more prominently, since I had to squint to find day one. Still, a solid pick for a skincare-curious friend.
