Lovehoney’s 2025 Advent Calendars have landed, and I’ve already unboxed them all

You’d be right to assume that Lovehoney Advent calendars are some of the best. Year in, year out, the online sex toy shop raises the bar, hiding trending clit teasers and beginner-friendly bondage behind brightly coloured doors. And while I’m loath to even begin thinking about Christmas in August, it’s an exciting day for those in the sexual wellness space — or anyone with a remote interest in sex toys — as the online retailer has dropped its Santa-approved offerings for 2025.

Of course, there’s the usual 24-day and 12-day calendars for couples, as well as a luxury 24-day version, and a 12-day option specifically for vulva owners. But this year we’ve been treated to a FIFTH option — and it’s the brand’s best value bundle yet.

With prices ranging from £79 to £299, and potential savings of up to 70%, we see no reason not to start your Christmas shopping early.

“There’s something for everyone in the advent calendar range, whether you’re looking to explore new and exciting ways to spice up your relationship, or if you’re an experienced user looking for some Christmas joy,” says Lovehoney’s sex & relationship expert, Annabelle Knight.

“The best thing about sex toy advent calendars is the excitement of opening each door, trying out new toys and games that you might not have normally picked up, ultimately helping you feel closer to your partner or yourself.” Win-win-win…

But, who would we — GLAMOUR’s team of experienced shopping editors — be if we didn’t scrutinise every sex toy advent calendar by the Bath-based brand to ensure it was worth your investment. Yep, see the results of our research below.

How we choose the best Lovehoney Advent calendars:

The GLAMOUR commerce team, made up of people of all preferences and ages, has been testing the best sexual wellness buys for the past five years — and after half a decade’s worth of thorough reviewing, we know what it takes to make a great finger vibrator, rabbit vibrator, egg vibrator, etc.

The contents of the alternative advent calendars below were all trialled during partnered play, oral sex and solo masturbation, with water-based lube when required. Our testers were then asked to score each against the following criteria:

• Ease of use — Were the drawers easy to open, and the calendars simple to store?
• Speed and intensity of orgasm — Did the sex toys and sex games included provide pleasurable sensations without intense effort?
• Design — Is the exterior of the calendar cute? Were the clit suckers, vibrating cock rings and vibrators inside ergonomic, easy to hold and fit for purpose?
• Contents — Was there enough variety? Any unique inclusions we haven’t seen in other sex toy advent calendars? Or are they just novelty items we don’t actually want/need?
• Value for money — Did it save us a substantial amount when compared to checking out on each product individually?
