Personally, I snapped up the Premium Rituals calendar when it went on early release. I promised to share it with my son but I think there might be some fighting over products come December!

I'm also keeping my eye on the Elemis calendar as a recent convert to the brand (more posts to come about that). This one I'd love as a winter treat just for me so I'm holding out for possible Black Friday reductions.
