Finally, a True 'Design' Advent Calendar — And Inside Its Windows You'll Find Westwing, Aesop, Ferm Living, Broste Copenhagen, and More
Forget disappointing novelty items, this gifting bundle is full of decor you'll actually appreciate
I was just complaining about early Christmas fatigue with all the festive launches hitting shelves perhaps a season too early. However, I stand corrected because the moment I found this 2026 Advent Calendar on Westwing, filled with decor, I could almost hear Mariah Carey's whistle notes buzzing through the air.
Never have I ever spotted a true design advent calendar before. And while I'm all for the glamorous boxes filled with beauty bits and delicious scented candles, I have to say this design-led set might be my favorite advent yet.
And it's not the kind of calendar that'll leave you feeling cheated either. There are no novelty items taking up space in these boxes. Instead, you'll find gifts from Westwing Collection, Aesop, Bloomingville, Audo Copenhagen, Ferm Living, DBKD, Philippi, Vinga, Vondels, WMF, Archivist, and Broste. Plus, if it's anything like last year's stylish advent calendars, now's the time to ready your cart.
This is major for anyone awaiting Westwing's UK launch earlier this year. And within just months of its arrival, it has announced news of this gorgeous advent calendar. There seems to be a bit of a Scandi theme throughout its contents, and I'm not complaining. And what might be my favorite part of all is that most of the contents remain a surprise. Now, that wouldn't be as much of a pro if it were from a random brand. But considering I spend a lot of time admiring the virtual aisles of Westwing, I trust that it won't let us down. Plus, looking at the few gifts they have revealed — Aesop's Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash, Audo Copenhagen Salt & Pepper Grinders, Westwing's Aria Tray, seasonal napkins from Ferm Living, a Bloomingville advent star, and a VINGA lamp — I predict only design-worthy gifts to come.
Wish List Advent Calendar Decor from Westwing
If I could build my own Westwing advent calendar, one of these Perli Shot Tumblers would definitely make the cut. I'm so over boring little shooters.
No pun intended when I say this beautiful handmade ornament has stolen my heart. It feels slightly whimsigoth and would look so pretty on your tree.
There's nothing quite like a semi-niche accessory that's actually functional to tickle and impress your guests. This Forest Nut Cracker from Ferm Living is my Christmassy case in point.
No Christmas calendar is complete without an advent candle. And this two-toned taper from Broste Copenhagen feels on point for the season.
A fresh set of cocktail napkins is a thoughtful advent calendar inclusion. It's between these champagne-motif squares and the Totally Tipsy Napkins from Vondels for me.
And since life is all about balance — why not a little something to motivate a happy and healthy new year in the form of this hand painted mug from Anna + Nina.
While this advent calendar has reignited my excitement for the festive season that will no doubt soon approach, I'm still doing some fall shopping for my home. And lucky us, the latest instalment of The Fifty is all things cozy and autumnal.
