It’s really hard to make any of these handmade advent calendars feel worth it and not a “rip off” because you’re always going to get less than what someone can buy in the store. Unless all 12-25 items are handmade, it’s really hard to justify it by saying, “I could have gone to the store and bought that cheaper” but you’re not just paying for the items themselves, you’re also paying for the time it took someone else to put it together and wrap everything nicely and number them (which takes more time than you’d think!) and it’s more about the surprise each day than the actual “value” of the items (because again, unless they are all homemade, it’s hard to justify the price because it’s always going to cost more than what you could buy in a store yourself). Just my two cents as someone who knows what goes into making these kind of advent calendars (I don’t make them to sell them but I have made them for my friends and family for Christmas). I would make them to sell them, but I doubt anyone who is making these Etsy advent calendars are even turning much of any profit, since the expectation for them is so high even when they only cost $40 (because most people compare it to what a billion dollar company can manufacture, and remember, most of those Fortune 500 company made advent calendars cost more than these Etsy calendars) so it just isn’t realistic for any individual to make. I bet if you added up the total of what you would buy all those items in the store, it would come out to roughly what she paid for it (including the wrapping paper, stickers, tape, shipping, etc), especially considering that some of the items ARE homemade and I’ve easily spent $14 on a homemade bar of soap that was part of that last $40 box. I’m honestly shocked anyone would take the time to put these together considering most people have this attitude that it isn’t worth it and think it’s a “rip off.” :(

Eeek i thought so!! :S ❤

Probably. Though tbf you can buy n bulk boxes of those hotel supplies from websites. Like little 20ml shower gel tubes 500 pieces for £58. So I imagine you can probably do the same with the soap. All those tea bags though, it makes me wonder...like, I now have this image of a person who travels a lot for business loading their case up with the teabags and bathroom products, clearing out the hot drink supplies every day and getting them replenished, all so they can put them all in these advent calendars. Lol.

The round chocolates in the gold and green foil you can get at hotels as well, usually left on the bed.

@@hawkeyescoffee6399 right, that's exactly what I was imagining!😂😂

@@sophielouuuise The idea of those small business advent calendars are great, but when the value doesn't at least match the price you pay for it, I don't think that's very nice at all. Like if they added in a book or something else like a craft maybe, that way you have your little tea and treats, whilst doing a craft or reading. But I feel like you spent Way too much for cheap treats and hotel soap 😕

Thank you!!! ❤

the teen one was ok, but still overpriced imo

haha i'll still be going age 90 ❤

Yeah definitely not luxury lol! thank you so much ❤

The 2nd box seems more like a self pampering calendar for women. 🤷‍♀️

I think they spent more on wrapping supplies than on some of the items, tbh. They might be packaged nicely, but definitely not luxury inside that.

I think from watching this I can make a million taking things when I work away bringing home hotel freebies😅

Thank you!! aaah yeah i think you might be right lol ❤

I think a lot of the 1st box came form a store called Ale-Hop! They have lots of fun and cute stuff at very low prices 😅

hahah it honestly was ❤

hahah ❤

Aww yay thank you so much!! ❤

❤❤

Eeeek i guess it did cost a lot for what you get ❤

I liked what was in it, but yeah, it was a little overpriced. If it was 40 total it would have been a decent one!

It was definitely over priced- even for a hand packed box. But I also feel like they curated it towards the intended target the best. If that makes sense. Like if they budgeted the Value better it would be a good box

I think it’s worth noting the jewelry was stainless steel. The box was priced at €50 and they included 3 pieces of jewelry (a little bit over €10 each). Then they included those cotton rounds that look to be hand made and could cost around €15 for that reason. so the margin for all the other stuff AND the seller to get a benefit is really low, actually. I can only imagine they got these things on sale cause otherwise, as boring as it looks, the math wouldn’t add up

Don’t forget though about the forever changing currency and a fair bit of that was postage 🙈

I thought that too! It looked like a coaster 🙈🤭

Haha so much teaaaaa ❤

Aww yay enjoy!! ❤
