If your pandemic life lacks focus, an Advent calendar may be just what you need to put order to the haze of days. Even better, these aren't the humdrum calendars of yore. Made for sophisticated palates, these calendars aren't filled with the waxy, exaggeratedly sweet chocolates we knew as kids. No, here you'll find craft beer, artisanal chocolates, refined confections and more. These calendars deliver exactly the type of gift you want to receive for 24 days in a row. They're festive, filled with delectable delights and will infuse your inaugural COVID Christmas with, at least, some of the joy of the season.

Buy one or buy them all and gift them to those near and dear in the spirit of the holidays. Or, hoard them for the months ahead and pretend that it's Christmas all year through. Far be it from us to judge.
