5 reasons to choose the Cowshed Advent Calendar
24 excellent excuses to indulge.
AS SEEN IN
1. Vogue approves.
We can tell you how glorious it is. But we get we’re biased, Vogue isn’t.
British Vogue named our 2025 calendar one of its favourites and came back for more in 2026, praising our new collection, reusable wicker hamper and very generous product sizes.
“It was one of my favourites for 2025, and I can confirm that Cowshed’s 2026 take on an advent calendar will not disappoint.”
2. No small samples hiding in big boxes
Nobody wants to open an Advent Calendar box to find “sample, not for resale”... No “filler” products to inflate the worth value. Just wildly good Cowshed. Inside you’ll find 18 full-sized products, alongside four travel-sized toiletries and two limited-edition mini candles.
All products you’ll actually use from hand washes and lotions to bath & shower gels, body oils, haircare and home fragrance.
“There's so much to love about Cowshed, including the fact that it has done away with miniatures entirely for its 24-day calendar, filling every box with a full-sized product spanning body, hand, hair and home fragrance.”
3. The hamper is for life, not just for Christmas.
Once the final box has been opened, the calendar isn’t destined for the recycling.
All 24 products arrive individually boxed inside our handwoven monochrome wicker hamper, designed to last longer than just December.
Fill it with towels. Beauty products. Christmas decorations. Hide the things you panic-tidied before guests arrived. We won’t tell.
Even the individual burgundy boxes are made with purpose. Simply remove the numbered sticker and you have a ready-to-gift Cowshed treat.
“A gorgeous and genuinely reusable wicker hamper that will last for many, many Christmases to come.”
4. Unlock a night at Babington House.
As if 24 Cowshed treats weren’t quite enough. We’ve hidden a vintage hotel key inside two Advent Calendars.
Find one and you’ll unlock a complimentary overnight stay at Babington House, our 5-star home in the Somerset countryside, worth over £700.
No complicated entry form. No quiz question. Just open your boxes and hope you’re one of the lucky two. We think it’s worth trying your luck.
5. REGIFT-READY
Looking for a gifting hack?
Each product is in individual burgundy boxes, made with purpose.
Simply remove the numbered sticker and you have a ready-to-gift Cowshed treat. 24 gifts for £12 each.
What could be better?
"I love giving and receiving Cowshed products at Christmas, and this year's advent calendar is great for individually gifting (or keeping a couple of treats for yourself)."
December, done properly. Twenty-four burgundy boxes of bath, body, hand and hair favourites, three limited-edition candles and our new eye mask, all packed into a handwoven wicker hamper that's far too handsome to stow away. Mostly full size, entirely Cowshed. And two of them hide a key to Babington House.
