So popular is the L’Occitane Nature's Advent Calendar ($89 with minimum $40 spend) that it’s already sold-out on their local website and Shopee Mall store. Not to worry, because they’re still available in stores at time of writing, but you’ll have to be quick - judging from how the online stock was wiped out within 10 hours, this is probably flying off the shelves as we speak. The set comes with 24 items, all of which are bestsellers.

Get it from L’Occitane boutique stores islandwide.
