A £16.99 Wowcher mystery deal guarantees shoppers a jewellery advent calendar valued at £38.99, alongside the chance to win one of 50 premium beauty advent calendars worth up to £285.
Shopping writer Lucy Addicott tested the Christmas Advent Calendar Mystery Deal, which offers buyers the opportunity to win a high-end beauty advent calendar from brands including Liberty London, Charlotte Tilbury and Jo Malone. Customers receive one of six jewellery advent calendars, and Addicott received the 24 Days of Sparkle Crystal Advent Calendar.
Festive packaging and daily reveals
The jewellery advent calendar arrived in a nostalgic-style Santa Claus box with a satin red ribbon, allowing it to be hung up with ease. It appeared fun, colourful and incredibly festive, adding cheer to the home before the doors were opened.
There are 24 days to discover, with crystal jewellery pieces concealed behind each door. The initial few days presented bracelet charms featuring snowflakes, florals and hearts, alongside a silver bracelet onto which they could be attached.
Value and standout pieces
The collection features a blend of silver and rose gold-toned jewellery, which Addicott described as perfect for mixing and matching. By the close of the month, buyers will have assembled a complete charm bracelet.
The standout pieces are the crystal earrings paired with the crystal pendant necklace, which appear far more costly than they actually are. The deal is priced at £16.99, meaning each of the 24 pieces works out at just 70p. The calendar also contains three crystal necklaces, three crystal earrings and two additional bracelets, one of which showcases a striking infinity design.
Considerations and alternatives
Addicott noted that two of the earring pairs bore a strong resemblance to one another, though this may appeal to shoppers with multiple piercings, allowing them to be worn simultaneously. For those interested purely in earrings, the Orelia 25 Days of Ear Stacking Advent Calendar is priced at £120, available in gold or silver, with the earrings carrying a combined value of £244.
In her view, the certainty of receiving a jewellery advent calendar, coupled with the opportunity to win a luxury beauty advent calendar, makes the offer well worth considering, particularly for those who enjoy an element of surprise. It could also serve as an early gift for a friend or loved one as a festive countdown treat.
