My partner knows to anticipate a dip in my savings come September, considering that's usually when we see the launch of the Lovehoney Advent calendars fall. Yep, it's no secret that every year these are some of my favourites when it comes to sex toy Advent calendars, the brand seamlessly combining quality with quantity, and a couple of viral vibrators that'll keep me entertained in the run up to Christmas.
But what exactly can you expect behind those brightly coloured doors? A selection of the online sex toy shop's bestsellers, including trending clit teasers, remote-controlled vibrators and beginner-friendly bondage. 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 unusual advent calendar by the Bath-based brand to ensure it was worth your investment. Yep, see the results of our research below.
Ahead, the best Lovehoney Advent calendars for 2025, reviewed by GLAMOUR editors:
- Status: Available to shop!
- Launch date: 19th August 2025.
- Worth: £205.
- GLAMOUR's top pick: Womanizer Mini 2, £25.
Hear this: Lovehoney has gifted us a budget option. Something pretty much unheard of when it comes to sex toy Advent calendars, considering the cutting-edge tech involved. Yep, this is a new addition to the Lovehoney calendar range, taking its 2025 calendar offerings to a total of FIVE.
Working out at just £6 a present, this is exceptional value — and that was a conclusion we drew before spotting that it includes three sex toys, two sex games and essentials such as lube. The highlight? The Womanizer Mini 2, a mini clit sucker fitted with three intensity levels and an oval-shaped mouth that's designed to hug your C-spot. We should flag that it's powered by AA batteries, so stock up. But for a travel-friendly companion, she's a certified crowd pleaser. Really, with 98% of women and people with vulvas say they've orgasmed with the help of a Womanizer.
| Pros | Cons |
| Budget and beginner-friendly, ticking off key toy types (a bullet vibrator, clit sucker and G-spot vibrator), as well as water-based lube and a dice-based sex game. | A little light on sex toys. |
| If you're in the habit of skipping foreplay, this sex toy Advent calendar forces you to re-focus, thanks to the addition of a feather tickler, blindfold and body massager. |
- Status: Available to shop!
- Launch date: 19th August 2025.
- Worth: £501.
- GLAMOUR's top pick: We-Vibe Sync Lite, £79.99.
Last year's collab with Womanizer was a favourite among GLAMOUR editors when selecting the best sex toy Advent calendars for 2024. And while this year's iteration has been beaten to the top spot, we're still full of praise for the 24-day option.
Once again, it features not one but two hero products — and saves shoppers a huge 70% when buying the contents of this bundle individually. One of the former worth mentioning? The Womanizer Classic 2, powered by the brand's patented Pleasure Air Technology and an overachiever when it comes to clitoral stimulation. That's because, without numbing, this led our tester to climax in under 10 minutes — even though a rechargeable battery gives you up to 180 minutes to finish.
Also worth your attention when opening? The We-Vibe Sync Lite — a C-shaped vibrator which also works effectively as a long-distance sex toy, since it can be controlled remotely via the (free) We-Vibe App. A suitable companion for those experimenting with wearable sex toys for the first time, it hugs the vulva, the slimmer of the two arms sitting inside to target her G-spot, before sending sweet sensations up the partner's penis or strap-on.
| Pros | Cons |
| The three branded sex toys are worth more than £210 alone. | Packed with heterosexual matches in mind. |
| Beginner-friendly, thanks to the addition of the Lovehoney Bullet, water-based lube and easy-to-follow sex games. | Remove one box/drawer and the entire side comes with it. |
| No mention of ‘sex’, ‘sex toys’, ‘masturbation’ or ‘pleasure’ on the front, meaning you can leave this one on display. |
- Status: Available to shop!
- Launch date: 19th August 2025.
- Worth: £220.
- GLAMOUR's top pick: Lovehoney Venus Glow, £49.99.
FYI, I've been reviewing Advent calendars for three years on the trot and am an advocate for individuals using the festive bundles to discover what they like. I get why brands, including Lovehoney and the like, market them to couples looking to explore or reignite that sexual spark, but I'm all for splurging on a journey of discovery for one.
This toy-centric calendar — the highest vibrator-to-drawer ratio of any 2025 Lovehoney calendar — comes packed with a clit sucker, mini wand vibrator, anal sex toy and a bullet vibrator to help you discover whether you enjoy C-spot, G-spot, or A-spot play… or perhaps a combination of all three.
In line with the trend to cuteify our clit teasers, Lovehoney's thrown in the Venus Glow — a shell-shaped vibrator worth £49.99, which uses air pulsations and contactless massage to bring on intense waves of dopamine.
| Pros | Cons |
| Comes in under £100 and saves you 55% on a fairly premium wellness haul. | Just 12 days of surprises — and sadly no equivalent for those with prostates and penises. |
| Packed with travel-friendly foreplayers, including a bullet vibrator and the Venus Glow. | |
| We appreciate the brand skipping the usual red and green colour combo. |
- Status: Available to shop!
- Launch date: 19th August 2025.
- Worth: £750.
- GLAMOUR's top pick: Womanizer Next, £189.99.
I've said it before, but why pay twice when you can splurge on a premium sex toy that'll last the test of time — and your various sexual escapades. For less than £300, luxury lovers will get their hands on a haul worth more than £750. In fact, the two top gifts total £338 alone…
One of the highly praised? The Womanizer Next. It's fair to say that the brand has mastered its formula when it comes to clit suckers, continuously offering high-performing and aesthetic options reviewers love. But the aforementioned was revolutionary in that it doesn't just give you the option to tailor the pattern of your contactless massage, but the depth of the sensations too — AKA the deeper, the bigger the orgasm and the greater the mood boost.
| Pros | Cons |
| Includes 11 full-sized sex toys, beginner-friendly bondage (under-bed-restraints, nipple clamps, mini paddle) and sensory treats such as a massage oil. | While useful post-play, the Sex Toy Wipes cheapen the haul. |
| The Womanizer Next qualifies as a quiet vibrator, making this Advent calendar a suitable sex gift for new parents. |
- Status: Available to shop!
- Launch date: 19th August 2025.
- Worth: £265.
- GLAMOUR's top pick: We-Vibe Jive 2, £119.99.
This one is for those less interested in automated sensations, and rather resources that help you experiment with different power dynamics, role reversal and foreplay. This includes satin restraints, a blindfold, a massager, and a bottle of Womanizer's scent-free, stain-resistant lube.
Of course, there are some toys stashed inside those boxes — yep, Lovehoney has stuck with last year's design and swapped cardboard doors for removable boxes that mimic mini presents — such as a mini wand massager and the multi-functional Lovehoney Pleasure Tip Silicone Vibrator in an exclusive new colourway; great for beginners keen to explore all 31 erogenous zones.
| Pros | Cons |
| Another budget and beginner-friendly option that also should be easy to store, thanks to it's slim design. | Once again, packed with heterosexual matches in mind — although involving a strap-on could solve that problem. |
| The calendar itself is 100% recycleable. |
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?
And this is just one of three.
