2025 Spooky Advent Calendar: Ghosts of Winters Past
This listing is a PRE-ORDER! These boxes will start shipping in mid-to-late November!
For the Winter Holiday Season, 2025, we have a special treat to offer you, with stirring and shivery surprises galore in store!
We have put together a delectable mystery collection of exclusive nail & skincare goodies, inspired by a surprise collection of 13 historic ghost stories from around the world. Each item will go along with a story, and we will be including a handmade chapbook containing all 13 tales (with original full-color illustrations).
The concept is a Spooky Winter Solstice advent calendar: 13 surprise items to open on the 13 days leading up to the Winter Solstice, from Dec 9th to the 21st! You can also adapt this box to the religious or cultural winter holiday of your choice - it's yours to do with as you wish! Items will be wrapped & numbered in a countdown (13 to 1), and there will be a few random little extra treats tucked in with them, for a fun unboxing experience :)
Kindly note all product photos shown here are just examples from past boxes!!
(Note: If you are ordering from outside the US, you will still have a box of goodies, but they probably won't arrive in time to count down to the winter solstice - so we just want to set your expectations correctly!)
Items included:
- 9 exclusive nail polishes
- 4 handmade surprise bath & body and/or home items. While the specifics are a surprise, we promise to only include things that virtually anyone can use! (i.e. nothing that requires a wax melter, bath tub, or other special equipment!) These will be in new, custom-formulated scents!
- More special surprise themed goodies
Nail polishes are available as full-size 15ml bottles, or mini-size 5mL bottles. The other items will be the same size regardless of which nail polish size you order. All prices include shipping.
Also! We are offering a POLISH ONLY or BATH & BODY ONLY option this year! You'll receive all other freebies. Beware: This does means you will have multiple days in the calendar where you will have no handmade item to open!
"Tell me more about the included items!"
Sure! All polishes will be custom-designed to compliment the vibe and elements of the corresponding story. We'll be focusing on moody, deeper jewel tones with a Gothic vibe.
Finishes and types of polish may include any or all of the following types: thermal/mood, glow in the dark, holo, color-shifting/multichrome, matte, glitter, flakie, shimmer, creme, or jelly.
As to the bath & body: Expect such things as cuticle balms or oils, lotions, scrubs, soaps, or candles. We promise to only include things that virtually anyone can use! (i.e. nothing that requires a wax melter, bath tub, or other special equipment!)
The bath and body items will all be scented in different custom unisex fragrances evocative of their companion stories. We anticipate some wintery notes, a bit of foody, probably lots of woodsy. Very little (or no) florals.
As always, our extra items will have a personal touch and will be thoughtfully curated. Our goal is always for you to have some genuinely fun, quality, intriguing extras to discover. If we include candy or other edible things, they'll be vegan.
Note: If you have an allergy or sensitivity that could conceivably show up in the bath/body items a mystery box like this (specific ingredients, chocolate, nuts, botanicals, etc) please check in with us before ordering the full box. At the very least, we can let you know if this box is a good fit for you, but it's also possible we can modify your specific order to accommodate you. It's usually easy, for example, to offer unscented versions of the bath & body items.
We know you or your loved one will be thrilled with our Advent Calendar - which is why we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all our items!
