Gone are the days when advent calendars were only filled with chocolate. Big brands like Nivea now offer a colorful potpourri of selected products for the Christmas season. We opened the 24 little doors.
The year is 1905 when Nivea is registered in the German Patent and Trademark Office. Only six years later, the well-known cream in cans is already available in numerous drugstores – and can still be found there today. The range now includes a wide range of different care products for women, men and children. Whether cosmetics, hair care, shower gel, body lotion, hand cream, deodorant, soap or facial cleanser: Nivea tries to meet all of the needs of daily personal hygiene. But does that also apply to the advent calendar?
Spoiler alert: All the products hidden behind the 24 doors are listed below.

Can packaging and design convince?
Even though the Nivea advent calendar was delivered sealed in a plastic sleeve, you have to give it credit for the fact that the entire packaging is made of cardboard. Apart from the care products it contains, plastic has been largely avoided, so that the calendar can be disposed of in the paper waste after Christmas without hesitation. A plus in the area of sustainability.
The design, on the other hand, comes with a Christmassy decor and looks very high quality. The 24 doors are distributed on both sides of the cardboard box, so the calendar is painted on all sides. According to the manufacturer, the weight is 2.16 kilograms, so that the gift can be sent without any problems and can also be accepted by anyone at the door.
Conclusion: pampering moments to give away
All in all, there is nothing wrong with the advent calendar – assuming, of course, that the person receiving the gift likes Nivea products and likes to use them. Because even if the contents contain a balanced mixture of care and cleaning, the 24 surprises all come from the same house. The small travel sizes, which fit in every wash bag and are therefore ideal for on the go, are particularly practical. The sustainable packaging is also positive, as is the high-quality design.
Conclusion: For around 40 euros, the advent calendar is a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who would be happy to receive Nivea care products.
